Hi angelia,
Your package sounds quite comprehensive. Almost covered most places in turkey. Was 13 days very rushed? I don't mind if only 2 persons and with a tour guide. I don't really like if it's too big a tour group... worse still, if have alot of aunties type on the tour... can faint... hee! Thanks for your tips... planning to go next year june...

nope, the 13 days is not very rush. actually the tour usu ends abt 4-5pm. our group members like to explore the small town after on own after checking in the hotel each time
but we like exhausted liao.
well, dun worry it being an auntie tour. when we join the tour, there are 2 elderly couples + 1 young couple + 1 auntie + us. 2-3 days later, 1 elderly couple + young couple left, another mid-aged couple joined us, another 5-6 days later, the 2 couples left, so only 3 of us left in the group. couple of days later, a mother & daughter joined us
bcos we started the tour @ different days of the week, so we get to mix wif different groups of pple
they'r mostly from USA, Australia. the elderly are all retirees. we're the only chinese. don't hv to worry abt them holding up the group, so they very "automatic". really cannot compare wif local "aunties & uncles". and not forgetting they're really friendly & jovial pple. & not forgetting they're really so much more knowlegable than us. we really enjoyed their company
* after joining this turkey tour, i really very reluctant to take local pkg tours

hi angelia,
oh so it's not a local pkg tour...that's absolutely great!!
I don't mind if the tour group consists mainly of people from other countries... can learn more... but if locals, I'd rather stay in Singapore...
A sad news... My hubby's USA trip may be cancelled...
means I cannot go liao... now must find another destination to go...
jen,
I think I will skip this time again. Sorry!!

jen,
don't worry, since can tahan 1 yr, another yr sure can!!
hmm... maybe i can take my coming trip as a "pre" anniversary celebration. juz that i'm paying for myself & mum
& not a smooth planning cos that day hubby shouted at me over the phone cos i say might as well go Tokyo (abt $450 per pax for JR pass, X 3 cos gotta include my mum) then next time we no need "purposely" fly to Tokyo (abt $1200 for 5D3N to Tokyo for 2, he & me), but he says expensive!!!

acherly i feel that once u get the JR pass, quite wu hua lor... cos unlimited travel to all parts of Japan leh... but then of cos got time wasted on the train lor... cannot be help one lah... think better than flying lor... at least u see the scenery around on the train...

no lah, i where got go Japan quite frequent? coming trip is 2nd trip only
thot "can go" cos hubby is on biz trip in Osaka, so can save on hotel
last trip (2001/2003 Sep?) was to clear leave, this trip cos my mum says wanna go, & i still have some leave to clear
think a lot of pple like to go Japan, esp if the season is rite, but it's a bit ex. accomodation, food, transport, etc....
i have only been to Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe. Visiting the shrines & temples!! it's a bit bored after seeing few, but still each has it's own attractions. and not to deny, the scenary is much nicer than SIN
Maybe u shld check out the Japan thread. there are a lot of feedback from those who've been to different parts of Japan or have been through pkg tours
i oso read up quite a bit from there

<font color="aa00aa">jen,</font>
cos he says i always wanna win lor. when he tell me expensive, i still wanna go Tokyo. but i say the calculations i worked is more worth than flying to Tokyo next time. then he said "okay lor", but still "bu gan yuan", so i say, okay lor, dun go Tokyo lor.. then he started shouting liao.
aiya, but nvm, in the end still i win, cos he called me the next day, but... i say i not free & hanged up!!!
i very fierce & unreasonable one, so better don't mess wif me

Hi angelia
I read ur posting re ur Turkey trip by Pasha Tours. I'm very keen on it coz I'm thinking of gng to Turkey in March next year. I can't stand travelling with Singaporeans so I prefer such packages.
Can you let me know how you booked the package? And do you hv to fork out extra money for the excursions and entrance fees that are covered in the tours?

Thanks for the info on your Japan trip. I had planned to go few months ago when hubby is there on business trip, but last minute din go due to the change in his schedule.
What you say is true, Japan everything is expensive, and worst still don't know their language so it's a bit difficult to explore the place on our own.
Wow didn't know you so fiece one ah... before don't mess with you...

sakurasan,
i booked from www.letsgoturkey.com. didn't really know we're booking with Pasha (or was it Pacha?
) Tour until hubby wrote some emails to enquire some details
we really had a good guide, Behul, who's really very knowlegable. can talk abt everything under the sun, of cos not forgetting the history of the various parts of turkey
we din have to fork out any extra money except for 1 folklore dinner cum show @ Cappadocia (did i rem correctly?) it's a really nice show, and the dinner is nice. but hor, i forgot how much liao. think abt US$50, but u can pay in turkish lira too
oh, drinks (even plain water) are not covered by the tour. so at each meal, have to pay for the drinks. certain restaurants will allow u to bring ur own drinks, but most don't. anyway, sometime we oso pai-seh, so juz buy a small bottle to share, and it's abt 2-3x the price we get at local shops.
we bought a lot of 5L water (cos i fell sick so need a lot of drinks, & hubby oso drank a lot) tried many brands

Hi angelia
Thanks! I also wrote them an email to ask whether their tours are by Pasha. Coz there's nothing on the website that indicates the tour agency.
Oh ok, drinks not covered. I understand from my frens who go for package tours telling me that there're alot of hidden costs in the packages - like having to pay for excursions, entrance fees, etc. If everything is covered, then I think the price is quite reasonable for a 13D tour.
