A great tour customised and arranged - We were three friends ,ladies traveling first time to Turkey . We travelled from different countries and arrived and departed at different times and airports . They customised all our requests and gave us a full 10 day drip at leisure. The cars, drivers and guides they gave were very good, friendly and helpful. The accommodations they gave too were above my expectations. On the last day May 1st there were unexpected shut down at isthambul and my friend had her car, booked by the company cancelled. She travelled with another customer in a car arranged by the hotel. However Mr Favzi came to airport and paid the driver himself.
We appreciate the nice tour arranged by them and for having made our trip a wonderful journey

Holiday in Turkey - I consider my holiday in Turkey with my family and friends as the best holiday I have done in my life. Our tour guide Sinan who was the most understanding and knowledgeable person I have ever met immersed us to the history and culture of Turkey. He also introduced us to the different food stuff that we could tuck in. From the very lively Istanbul, breath taking hot air balloon in Cappadocia, awesome Pamukkale to the vibrant Kusadasi. We really had a fabulous time. Sinan together with the driver he was with are highly recommended for being so professional and extremely caring people. Please if you want to go for a holiday get them as your companion.

Turkey holiday April 2024 - we are a group of 10 individuals, family and friends went on to this very special holiday. I usually doesn’t give a 5 star review as i always believe that there is always room for improvement. But this one is exceptional as Sinan (our tour guide from CURIO travel) made our holiday a special one. From start to finish, his patience and of course the way he treat us all. The best ever and if I may say Curio travel has found a very good staff indeed👌

Bucket List Tour of a Lifetime - A bucket list tour of a lifetime! Curio Travel has been very accommodating from the time of enquiry to booking, to the time of our trip up until the end, on our way back to the UK.
The tour was amazing! Tailored according to the places we want to visit and to maximise our trip toTurkey.
Hotels are very good! 3-5 star hotels with good buffet breakfast and dinner.
To top it all, we have the BEST TOUR GUIDE ever. Sinan made every single place special, adjusting to our likes and preferences. He made it more personal, treating us like friends and always very patient, warm and helpful. He even surprised us with a birthday cake in one of the places we visited which was a thoughtful gesture.
Well organised tour, top class accommodation and buffet and a superb tour guide. Hence, our tour was amazingly good and memorable one. All made it possible because of Curio Travel and Sinan.
Thank you very much Fevzi and Sinan. Until our next visit in Turkey..

A great company and well deserved 5 star review. - Wow, what an incredible time tour of Turkey. Mr Fevzi and his team were incredible, from the moment I arrived at the airport until I left every detail was taken care of. The company had people greet me at the airport with a smile, every tour guide met me with a smile, every minute of all the tours were organized, the hotels were all perfect and higher end. No detail was left out. Not only did I leave with a wealth of information and knowledge of the country I left with a few new friends.
What a great company and great adventure.

Discovering wonderful Turkey 🇹🇷 - They were days full of culture and stunning landscapes. Everything worked very well from the airport reception, hotels, transportation and tours. Highlight for our excellent guide, Mr. Tayfun, who accompanied us throughout the journey.
We had full support from Mr. Fevzi from Curio Travel.
This tour is really worth it. We enjoyed discovering marvelous Türkiye. We spend 2 extra days in Istanbul by our own, which we recommend 👌🏻

Incredible Tour! - We had an amazing tour. We had 3 different tour guides, each very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. The tour included many key tourist sites, great accommodation and comfortable transfers.
From an administrative point, we could easily contact Fevzi that was available at any hour.
We would definitely use Ephesus Shuttle as a tour company again!
