What Our Travelers Say

After reading reviews, looking through itineraries, and taking into account what each tour company charged, we booked a 10 Day Tour of Turkey with One Nation Travel.

From the beginning of our tour (delayed flight/late arrival) it was evident that One Nation’s staff knew what they were doing and are pros at doing it.

We arrived at our Istanbul hotel around 3 AM and were met by Can Berber who collected our payment, gave me his contact info and said to call us if we had any questions. Anytime we reached out to him- he responded immediately.

I noticed through out our tour the way the itineraries are set up it’s obvious they’ve dealt with and are prepared for late arrivals and worst case scenarios. Which unfortunately, I experienced when I got a stomach bug during our tour. I will always appreciate the kindness of our guides, fellow travelers, hotel staff and even the taxi driver who took me to my hotel.

Our tour had us criss-crossing Turkey and included three domestic flights, one three hour bus ride, numerous boutique hotels, and daily drivers transporting us to and from our destinations. Everything was coordinated well.

When I booked our tour I expected we would be with the same people and tour guide the entire ten days. However, that’s not the way it is set up at One Nation. They offer a range of tours. We're all arriving at different times and doing our own agenda.

So we were not always with the same small group of people each day, but we did run into each other during our various tours, lunch or hotel accommodations. We enjoyed this as we met and were befriended by more people than we would have been otherwise.

Each day we had a different tour guide usually one local to the region we were at. Each day we thought - this is the best guide yet! All were friendly, knowledgeable and spoke English well.

Turkey's historical landscape is varied and beautiful. Going during May couldn’t have been better. The flowers were in bloom, the weather pleasant, and the historical places we toured all made for envious Instagram post sharing. As did the cute quaint boutique hotels we stayed at. I never once felt unsafe in any area.

Perhaps the best selling point for One Nation is every person we met affiliated with them appeared to enjoy their job.

We had 4 days to visit Turkey and booked a full 4-day schedule to see Cappadocia, Ephesus, Pamukkale and Hieropolis and quickly fly back to Istanbul to catch our flight on the 5th day.

Our tour coordinator met us on the first day and exchanged contact info so that he would be easy to reach. This was very useful as on the second day, due to one of the airlines’ fault, we missed our connection in Istanbul when transferring to Izmir, which then delayed everything as we had a tour scheduled for the next morning which we would miss. When contacted, the tour coordinator at the agency was quick to react and make changes to accommodate us such that we could still see everything we had planned and still get back to Istanbul in time for our flight.

Our only recommended improvement would have been that they include the transport back to our hotel from the airport but it’s ok as they had clearly told us that this was not included so we planned ahead.

Our travels were thus (almost 😉) worry-free - thanks to their Good work.

I did the 6 day Turkey tour (Istanbul, Pamukkale and Ephesus) and it was nothing short of amazing!!!

My agent Mr Can Berber did such a great job in organizing the trip, he was also readily available on WhatsApp whenever I encountered an issue. He was very helpful, professional and efficient. I found his communication style very effective too as it was very detailed. He also sent a video explaining what I will need to do in order to navigate through the airports to meet the transfer guides (who were also professional).

The tour guides (Tuluy “Tulip” in Istanbul and Mert in Pamukkale & Ephesus) were very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. They were patient especially with the elderly that were on the tours with us. They spoke good English which made communication with them a whole lot easier.

All the days on my itinerary were filled with activities, and a lot of walking so please dress comfortably.

As a solo female traveler I felt very safe.

Definitely worth it!!!

Can Berber of One Nation Travel Agency did a great job in organizing a memorable trip. All the arrangements including hotels, transfers and guided tours were great. Pickups were on time and as promised. Can was responsive to our inquiries during our trips.

I highly recommend Can Berber and his Travel agency.

Visited Istanbul, Pamukkale, Antalya and Cappadocia all in 7 nights/ 8 days. The organization and logistics was spot on. There was always someone waiting at each point with my name to take me to the next tour, bus, airport or hotel. Never a miss! Arranging all that could not have been easy!! AND I couldn’t be happier with what I saw at each location. Each location was so unique! I don’t have a favorite!!

Hotels were located at the best locations although the hotels were adequate. nothing more. The best was Antea hotel in Istanbul where I stayed a total of 3 nights.

Tours were mostly great with guides that could speak 4-5-6 languages. Not perfect English but definitely understandable and gave lots of information in an organized manner exc one guide in Cappadocia who was a nice person but enjoyed talking with his friends more than giving us information.

Turkey has been a wonderful adventure and would definitely recommend the country and this tour company, One Nation tour Company.

During our tour, lasting from 5 to 13 May 2024, we had an incredible experience, ranging from amazing nature and scenery, to visits and exposure to ancient and most interesting historic civilisation sites and facts. Logistics arrangements including travel and accommodation met, and often exceeded our expectations.

The level of knowledge and the expertise of guides was generally of a high standard, and often exceptional. Mostly they could actually be regarded as proud ambassadors for Turkye - a country full of wonderful surprises.

Overall, the tour was very well planned, arranged and managed, offers good value for money, and is highly recommended.

This company is AMAZING! Very organized, puntual, honest and the trip guys very knowledgeable. Every tour is planned perfectly, including hotels, breakfast, lunch etc. We are looking forward to plan next trip with them. We traveled with our son that has special needs, and they were able to accommodate his needs. Thank you so much for everything!

I recently used One Nation Travel's services to book my trip to within Turkey and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, Can Berber was incredibly helpful and patient.

One Nation Travel put together an itinerary that was absolutely perfect for me. It included all the must-see sights, but also some hidden gems that I never would have found on my own. For convenience and peace of mind, I recommend engaging One Nation Travel for your trip around Turkey

It takes a leap of faith to put down a deposit of several hundred dollars and sign up for a travel package across the ocean using your phone. One Nation came through. Everything was as promised. People showed up on time. Guides, drivers, hotels, connections, tickets were all coordinated. These folks are the real deal.

We are a couple from Canada and did the 5-day tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia, pamukale, and Ephesus.

We were blown away by how well the communication, schedules, transportation and organization of the overall tour was. Can Berber was our main point of contact and while he was not on the actual tours themselves (ran by others - great people), he checked in on us every day, asking whether we enjoyed our day and also provided us with instructions for transportation to next destination so we knew exactly what to expect and when we would be picked up. This helped us feel relaxed and allowed us to truly enjoy the destinations without worrying about coordinating how to get there.

The tours themselves were wonderful, very educational, and the Turkish people were so pleasant to interact with. The drivers and tour guides were very flexible to meet our needs, and always ensured that we would arrive to our hotel or airport on time. We truly appreciate this flexibility, they went above and beyond to help us.

Would definitely recommend doing this tour to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making this a memorable experience!

Overall a great trip. We booked a trip with this travel agency for our honeymoon. We were interested in the 5 day Turkyie package as it allowed us to see multiple spots we were interested in and took care of the logistics.

When we got there we realized that there's a lot of people that are all on their own itineraries and they are all kind of doing similar excursions in various orders. Basically this meant we were always in a tour group with a different set of other tourists. Not entirely sure how this all works, but we thought it was pretty neat and it either gives you a chance to meet more people or a reason to not engage with other tourists if you don't feel like it that day. One thing we found was very important was a travel consultant or representative. One Nation Travel communicated with us all along the way, so we never felt unprepared for the day ahead. Can Berber made sure we get on the hot air balloon ride, after a series of cancellations due to bad weather a few days prior. We heard some not so good stories from other travellers about miscommunication with their travel agencies, which made us glad we chose One Nation Travel. There may be others that will offer similar product, but it's not guaranteed their service will be as good.
