Reviews
(8) ReviewsI am writing this review right now at Dublin Airport. I have had the opportunity to travel with them on numerous occasions, and we have always departed satisfied. In particular, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Emir and his brother; they were incredibly helpful in every aspect of our journey. Hopefully, we will be together again on a different tour, God willing.
I have participated in numerous domestic and international tours, and truly this is the nirvana of this profession. I congratulate the entire Niltur family.
Just like the Italy tour I previously joined, this year's United Kingdom tour with Niltur and Mr. Emir was smooth, hassle-free, and comfortable thanks to their excellent service. The hotels were conveniently located in city centers, they showed great care regarding halal food options, and their staff were always friendly and went above and beyond to resolve even the smallest issues. We sincerely thank them for their efforts. From now on, Niltur will always be our first choice for any future tours. Thank you once again for your hard work! 🌸
I participated in the Great Britain tour, which was my fifth trip abroad with Niltur, and once again, they did not disappoint. We had a wonderful route, carefully selected hotels and restaurants, and an enjoyable experience thanks to the sincerity and attentiveness of our guide and Niltur's responsible representative. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to making this such a great tour.
We had a very enjoyable trip across Britain and Ireland from London to Dublin with Niltur. Honestly, when making the reservations, I was concerned that our hotels might be located too far outside the city centers and that we might face difficulties finding suitable meals. So, for those who share similar concerns, here's a brief summary: Hotels and Location: The places we stayed at (Crowne Plaza, Hilton, etc.) were very clean and conveniently located within walking distance of the city centers. We never struggled returning to our hotels in the evenings. Itinerary: Our route covered London, Oxford, Bath, Cardiff, Liverpool, the Lake District, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast, and finally Dublin. It was incredibly packed and fast-paced. In particular, the atmosphere in Edinburgh and the Scottish regions were excellent. Food and Dining (Halal): The restaurants we visited (Olea Social, Lezzet Turkish Kitchen, Rumi, etc.) were highly successful; we were satisfied with both the quality and variety of the food. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Thank you to Niltur and especially to Emir Bey.
As a star-rated travel agency in our field, Bursa-based Niltur, accompanied by its partner Mr. Emir Bodur, organized a wonderful 7-night, 8-day tour of Great Britain for my wife and me. The trip was filled with unforgettable moments, featuring beautifully selected destinations and professionally managed schedules. We were guided throughout the journey by our excellent local guide, Muzaffer Kaya, and shared joyful memories with fellow group members and new friends we met along the way. We returned home extremely satisfied. My heartfelt thanks go to all the dedicated staff at Niltur who made this beautiful organization possible, as well as to all the other participants on the tour. The centrally located hotels we stayed in exceeded our expectations in terms of hygiene; transfers, dining options, halal food availability, and activity choices tailored to our tastes were simply outstanding. Whenever I think of tours, Niltur immediately comes to mind, and this experience has only strengthened that conviction. Thank you, Niltur! Ahmet Ziyaeddin TEMİZEL
We did both tours back to back and had no regrets. Our three-generation family was very satisfied.
The two day package really covers everything. Cave hotel was a unique experience. Meals were varied as well.
