Luxury Travel Atelier Reviews 

Wonderful experience! We had a private guided tour throughout Turkey for 2weeks, everything was specially curated for us, and just an incredible experience!

We highly recommend private tours with LTA. We have been on 4 fabulous trips with them and each was unique and special.

Our first trip was the Turkey highlights: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus & Pergamon. It was carefully designed for our particular interests and our private guide Esra who is the founder of LTA, accommodated our requests for trip modifications as necessary.

Thanksgiving ‘22 we booked another trip including 3 countries, Montenegro, Croatia & Slovenia, including several days in Istanbul. It was not just the places we visited that made our trip spectacular but also hotels, drivers, local private guides in each country, last minute arrangements for Michelin Star restaurant & perfect seats for Andre Rieu Concert in Zagreb!

Last spring we traveled with our guide to Eastern Turkey where we visited amazing Unesco sites: including 12,000 years old Gobekli Tepe, Mount Nemrud, Armenian ancient site Ani! We also visited the recent earthquake area where our guide gave us the opportunity to support the local people. Such as experience was only possible because of our private tour guide, Konstantin.

We just returned from a multi week trip to Egypt. On the way back to Houston, our flight was delayed from Cairo and we missed our connecting flight from Istanbul to Houston. Our back up team was watching our flights and as soon as we landed in Istanbul our transfer assistant, private driver, hotel booking and even a table arrangement in a a unique neighborhood gourmet restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner were all ready!

Well, Yes!! Egypt was safe! Our local tour guide Haggai who was an egyptologist did great job. Four Season’s in Alexandria & Old Cataract in Aswan hotels were fantastic. Hot Air Balloon ride over the Nile River was once in a life time experience.

In its own way each trip was special, but the unique aspect of each trip was the way our guides were able to connect us with local people in such a way as to give us inside experiences we would not otherwise have enjoyed.

We have travelled extensively in 6 continents and nearly 50 countries - many of them multiple times. LTA team raised our expectations way beyond any of our other travel experiences.

"Hey there! Recently, my family and I went on an unbelievable 3-week adventure with Luxury Travel Atelier (LTA), and I couldn’t wait to share this experience with you all. Our journey began in Washington DC, and it swept us away to the stunning shores of Croatia, through the history-rich streets of Greece, and then to the vibrant culture of Turkey. LTA provided us with a VIP experience that made every single day special.

The Greece and Turkey parts of our trip were like living in a dream. Exploring ancient historical sites, we were constantly surrounded by breathtaking views. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly; it felt as if we were being shown around by an old friend. The three-day sailing trip between the Greek islands and the Turkish coast was an absolute highlight, offering a magical experience we’ll never forget.

Let’s talk about the food – every meal was a delicious journey through the local culture and history. The accommodations were both stylish and comfortable, ticking all the boxes for what we were looking for in a travel experience.

This extensive 3-week tour has left us with memories that we will cherish forever. A massive thank you to LTA for orchestrating this amazing adventure. For anyone looking to dive deep into the wonders of Greece and Turkey, LTA is the way to go. I’m already excited about planning our next tour with them!"

During our 13 days trip in Croatia and Greece between 3-16 May, we (3 persons) had experienced a wonderful journey by the great effort of this company.

In both countries, we aimed to live and observe daily life of the locals and their ceremonies, especially for taking photos of these great moments.

Therefore, we were very excited because we had some dreams to make come true 😌

At the end of this trip, we had much more and more than we expected. The trip was very well organised for our special expectations and dreams. Transportation and guidance services were of course perfect but more than that, there were planned the attendance to the locals special, private occasions ! That was incredible.

We turned back home as having much much more than usual and expected and we had lovely friends anymore from both countries as meeting in these ceremonies.

All was created by this amazing traveling company. We thank them so much. We loved you Gamze🙏🏻 you were the best tour guide ever! Thanks thanks thanks again for your seemless organization!

I lost count of the number of times I said "WOW!" during my Turkey tour with the Luxury Travel Atelier. Every single detail of the itinerary was carefully considered and planned. The views from all the hotels were spectacular. The day tours were incredible. The food was delicious. And the transportation was perfectly coordinated. I felt like a VIP, as drivers and tour guides welcomed me by name. As a solo female traveler, I also felt incredibly safe, because the Luxury Travel Atelier ensured hotels, drivers, and tour guides were all looking out for my safety and well-being. I'm recommending the Luxury Traveler Atelier to all my friends, family, and work colleagues. You are sure to have a fantastic trip with the Luxury Traveler Atelier!

What a wonderful experience with Esra! When we landed in Turkey, Esra met us at the airport as the country was going into lockdown during the pandemic. She asked what was my number one reason for visiting and when I said Cappadocia, Esra then completely changed our trip to make sure I was able to do the hot air balloons. Little did I know that she was making our trip 100 times better and we spent the next two and a half weeks getting to know this wonderful woman while she worked extremely hard to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime. Of all my trips and all the countries I’ve visited, Turkey and Esra are my favorite!

My experience with LTA will always have a special place in my heart. Traveling during the tail end of a pandemic is challenging and upon arrival, it was clear we would need to make some adjustments. Our guide helped to redesign our Turkey excursion overnight and the result was magical. I feel like we got to know the local version of Turkey versus the tourist version. Service was spectacular and every detail was coordinated seamlessly. By the end of the three week visit, I left with friendships as well as memories that will last a lifetime.

Best trip with the most amazing tour guide .

I had the best of experiences with LTA. From the perfectly organized trip,the knowledge of the sites to visit, the vast network of resources they can pull from.. the little surprises along the way, the problem solving attitude ALWAYS with the goal to fulfill or excede the customer expectations. You cant go wrong trusting your holiday planning to them. I can only say thank you and untill next time

A fantastic experience. My wife and I traveled with Luxury Travel for a 12-day personal tour through Turkey. They did everything from airplane tickets, personal van and driver, all meals, hotels, all sights that needed entrance fees. We saw Turkey with a great guide whom we would use again and again and recommend for everyone. Guide was Esra Özdamar. Extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful person.

*They took care of every fine detail from rooms..to dining..to transport.
*They took care of us a family...actually the guide became part of our family.
*They protected us from any locals who wanted to make a fast buck on us.
*Got us good negotiated deals.
*They have the contacts to take of all personal needs.
*Excellent fleet of vehicles was arranged for us...friendly drivers.
*Even daily expenses where paid for by the agent and i had to pay only in due course so as not to disturb our holiday....and every expwnse was invoiced
*THIS LOCAL AGENT GOT ME A BETTER DEAL THAN MY COUNTRY AGENT....AND I SAVED BY KNOCKING OUT MIDDLE MEN.
*Punctuality at its best.
*U have to tell them every need u want..whats ur budget...and then let them fly..rest assured ur in safe hands..and u will gwt the best.
*We had cancelled some event which was paid for..and during final billing they told me we got a refund..and gave me back cash...thats called HONESTY.

IF I GO BACK I WILL DEFINATELY USE THEM AGAIN...by the way this was our second time with them and it just got better...Ms Israr was our hero for this trip ..she took care of something very special to me and made me reach home in time...and i will never forget that gesture.........
