Manoj Subramanian

A group of 3 friends, just girls decide to go on a tour abroad. While checking out options we nailed down to the beautiful & culture rich Turkey 😍 We hardly had a month to plan, Thrilophilia is the only tour organizer who was positive in getting the visa and everything sorted in this short time frame. Our destination expert Premchand was very friendly, accommodative, extremely helpful in suggesting and guiding us through every single step. Somesh Kore from operations team as well assisted us completely. All inclusions and site seeing locations mentioned in the package were covered. The local tour organizer was good enough, guides were top notch. They did great justice to their work and took care of us very well. Hotel stays - views & locations were amazing, just at Kuşadası the room was bit small. The cave hotel stay at Cappadocia was too good. Transports by buses and vans were moderate. Şirince village visit was amazing and good for local shopping at best prices. Paragliding at Pamukkale was a great view experience but a short flight, hardly 10 mins. The Hot balloon at Cappadocia was mind-blowing, it's a must go and worth the money for a 1 hr flight. At the Bosphorus cruise, dinner was just ok ok but the culturals & cruise experience was fantastic. Turkish night show was one of its kind, we enjoyed it and the food served was decent. One major thing we wished was a little more time for shopping and some time at Taksim square. And one day of the entire itinerary went away just for travel. But for these we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The group finally became like family while parting. Safety aspects were very well taken care of. If you're looking for a one of a kind experience to get lost in a spellbound place, then that's Turkey for you 🥳 A perfect cocktail of Cosmo Istanbul + seaside Kuşadası+ hilly Cappadocia...!

Turkey The country is stunningly beautiful and feels more European than Asian. We enjoyed every destination and had an absolutely wonderful time. Thrillophilia did a great job by guiding us through the best possible package. All the hotels stays, pickups and internal flights were so well managed that we just had to be on time, rest everything went like a clock work. Hotels given to us for stay in our destinations were right in the middle With lot of shopping and personal trip options. Thrillophilia agent Ashutosh Rana was available over the phone whenever we had a query and to help us through out our trip. The visa team also did a fantastic job by which we had a hassle-free experience.

Divyanshu provided us the itinerary as per our wish. It was even customised as per our needs. We were given visa assistance also. The process was then handed over to Jatin who booked all the flights and hotels for us. The whole trip was so organized. All the days we had very efficient tour guides. We were taken around all the sightseeing places as per itinerary. The hotels were reasonable for our budget. The pickups and drop offs were bang on time. We were truly impressed. Thank you for the amazing holiday.

Myself, my wife and our infant baby planned for a 7 nights Turkey trip covering Istanbul ( 2 nights ), Antalya ( 3 nights ) and Cappadocia ( 2 nights ). The hotels are all good standards, the hotel and airport transfers are done in the best coaches and are on time, tour guides are fantastic and sticks to the times. Weather was a bit too hot when we visited, but the places are must visit travel options. The trip was planned well by Thrillophilia, but had few short comings.
