Budapest - Istanbul - Antalya with review!

"Hi James,

Hope all is well with you.  Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for organising such a wonderful holiday for me and Clive.  We had no problems with any of our flights and it was nice to have the private transfers so thank you for arranging those too.  All 3 hotels were really lovely and we really appreciated the room upgrades you got for us.  Our room at the New York Palace in Budapest was huge and we had a nice pool view room at the Grand Hyatt.  We couldn’t believe that we had a pool and sea view room at the Gloria Serenity.  The room and the hotel were so nice and the food was incredible, such an amazing selection at every meal time and gorgeous cocktails too.  I have sent you a few photos from each place we visited and all the lovely things we were treated to for our wedding anniversary, that was very special. 

Thank you again for organising such a great holiday, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and we look forward to your help in organising next years holiday. 

With love Clive and Jill xx"

Well what a lovely email to receive from two very happy customers, below is the bespoke itinerary we put together. A perfect way to explore two destinations in Europe and what an adventure they had! Starting in Budapest the capital of Hungary for 3 nights, experiencing all this amazing city has to offer of course including the famous River Danube. Before jetting over to Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey, often mistaken for the capital of this amazing country. Another 3 nights here to explore this old city, which reflects cultural influences of the many empires that once ruled here. Finally landing in Antalya to get some well deserved rest and relaxation. 8 days here to simply chill out, wander around the yacht filled Old Harbour and explore many beaches.

Below is each Hotel we recommended for their glory and location, and the itinerary at the bottom.
