What Our Travelers Say

My wife and I just returned from our 14-day Türkiye and Egypt tour last week. We traveled from the USA. We did not have any experience with One Nation Travel and were a bit apprehensive. We decided to move ahead and were very impressed with how One Nation Travel handled the tour. They handled everything inside both countries. We handled international flights. I can't stress the need for a tour group enough, especially in Egypt. The local pass time (Egypt especially) is to separate tourists from their money. Here are the highlights of our experience with One Nation.

Correspondence - we were provided contact info for reps in Türkiye and Egypt. Response was very quick. They also provided daily updates as needed (pickup times, car details, guide names, flight reminders, etc.)
Transportation – Coordination was fantastic. You will be picked up at your hotel at fixed times and returned. I think we had to wait 5 minutes past pickup time one day.
Meals – Food was good in both countries. Most meal stops were buffet style restaurants.
Lodging – hotels were very nice and clean and located close to the activities
Refunds – we had a couple of options in Egypt that didn’t happen (no fault of One Nation) and they offered refunds without hassle.

Things to know if you are planning a trip
Have a WhatsApp account ready before you travel. Everyone uses it.
Bottled water, soda, and snacks are available at every stop from vendors for purchase.
Both countries accept credit cards everywhere
Be prepared to cover (heads/shoulders - women, legs - both) at mosques. You can buy covers at the mosques or bring something.
Tips are expected for drivers, tour guides, baggage handlers, etc. Have some cash ready
Lunches are usually around 2pm. Bring a snack. All drinks cost extra at most meals.
Pamukkale ballon ride and ATV rides were fantastic.
Guides were very knowledgably and spoke English well.
Vendors – Everything is a high pressure sell. You have to ignore/limit interactions.

What I would change if I could
Reduced number of shop visits (leather, rugs, spice, etc.). We ended up visiting two of each type during the trip.
Ephesus – would like more time at the end of the tour to see Library of Celsus & Terrace Houses. Our tour guide spent most of the time getting to these areas and we were left with 20 minutes total for both.

Bonus item. We had one issue that One Nation handled famously. One of the Nile River locks was closed and forced most of the cruise boats to leave Luxor early to stage travel through the lock. One Nation arranged a car to take us to meet the boat, so we didn’t miss any of our Luxor sites. They stepped up and handled an issue they didn’t create.

Recap – One Nation handled everything professionally. Correspondence was timely and everything ran on time. Accommodation and food were good. If we travel to an area represented by One Nation, we will certainly use them again.

Such an amazing experience! I’m so grateful for how well everything was organised. I spent one night in Cappadocia and did both the Red and Green tours, and it was the perfect way to see all the highlights. Friendly guides, smooth organisation, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommend!

We had a great time traveling with this company. Everything was well organized, the staff was friendly and professional, and the trip went smoothly from start to finish. Traveling with family and friends was stress free, and we made some great memories. I would definitely recommend this company and would gladly travel with them again.

Two days in Cappadocia that felt well paced

I would recommend this 2-day Cappadocia tour for anyone wanting a short trip that still feels well organized. The itinerary connected the different parts of Cappadocia nicely, and Murat kept the explanations clear without making things feel rushed. It was a long couple of days, but the timing was manageable. Dedeli Konak Cave Hotel was a nice place to come back to when I was tired. The transfers from Istanbul were smooth, and One Nation Travel made the whole plan easy to follow. I left feeling like I had seen a good amount in a short time.

I was a bit worried that fitting Pamukkale, Ephesus and Cappadocia into three days would feel too rushed, but the transfers worked well. The early pickup was tiring, though everything stayed on time. Hasan was helpful in Ephesus and Pamukkale, and Aylin made Cappadocia easy to follow.

I booked a Turkey tour recently and had a great experience. They put together a nice package that included Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, and Pamukkale. Everything ran smoothly good hotels, friendly and knowledgeable guides.
If you’re thinking about traveling in Turkey or the Middle East, I’d definitely recommend them. Reliable and well-organized.

Very nice 12 day tour of turkey. Look for cam berber and he will surely take care of you. Everything was well planned and always on schedule. Surely would book another tour with them if given another chance to go back. If you want a very comprehensive tour of turkey without the hassles.
