Great Baltic countries trip with Key Tours

We had a very good trip with Key Tours from start to finish. Osman helped us set up the trip to suit ourselves and customize it to allow extra time. He was patient and willing to adjust schedules, etc to fit our needs.
In the Baltic countries, we had Janius as our guide. Excellent! Again, he went out of his way to help us meet the requirements for the Covid protocols. As we had some issues with trying to get onto our phones or ipad, he actually assisted with his own phone to get in place the questionnaire for Latvia and the appointment for our covid test to get back to the US>
The hotels we stayed in were high quality and all were within walking distance of the Old Towns so we could get out and about on our own when it suited us. Janius was wonderful with his information and guiding us around the cities and into the countryside. We did the optional tour to Trakai which was well worth the time. We drove from one capital to the next via bus and had stops en route. He made these stops very interesting and informative (rather than just a break in the drive). We stopped at the Hill of Crosses between Vilnius and Riga and that was fascinating. We also stopped at the Rundale Palace which was interesting to compare it with other castles and palaces from the aristicratic households. In Latvia we did the optional trip to the National Park and that visit, along with seeing the countryside was lovely. Between Riga and Tallin we stopped at the seaside resort of Parnu and enjoyed walking around the beach and downtown area. All of the Old Town areas of the 3 capitals were great to see. To us it was amazing that it had been only 30 years since they gained their independence from the Soviet Union. Many of the places seemed more like "Western" Europe than we had expected.
One of the good things about going with Key Tours is that you can customize it to your needs. You can have them include as much of the "optional" choices as you want or do more on your own. You can also pick and choose as you go along (at least, we could). You do have to manage your own luggage as far as getting it to your room and down, but since we didn't take all that much, that was no problem.

KeyTours Vacations is exceptional

KeyTours Vacations did an exceptional job providing support throughout the planning, booking and travel experience for our customers.

Here are a few of their comments:
First and foremost, thank you so so much for planning this trip for us! The best trip of our lives, hands down and everything went off without a hitch, exactly as planned.

We loved Santorini, thank you so much for recommending! It was an absolute blast and Hytra was also one of the food highlights of our trip. Cappadocia was also a stunning spot and easily the coolest place I’d ever been.

The transfers were all great, drivers were professional and on time or early. The hotels were all lovely - especially On The Rocks, which was so cool. Turkish Air was a great airline.

We highly recommend Keytours for a great, personalized travel experience. They went above and beyond to create lifetime memories for our customers.

Well

Well, the same thing happened this time with Keytours Vacations as always happens: we have the best vacation of our lives! Our trip advisor, Vicki Sachs, is incredible. She took the time to get to know us: what we want to do, where we want to be located in a city, what activities we prefer, what kind of a vacation we are looking for. And then she gets to work arranging it all, calling us with questions if she runs into a problem, or learns of something that might improve the quality of our trip.
When we travel—after Vicki has completed our entire package—we go knowing we are all set. The hotels are perfect for us and we are always met ON TIME and transported to our new location by the people that she has made arrangements with ahead of time!
To Vicki, her job is not just a job that she preforms, albeit she does it brilliantly. But she also cares about her clients and knocks herself out making phone calls and checking on possible ways to make things better for her clients. Trevor Toots, our trip advisor for many years before he retired, was also a caring, hardworking professional. He too worked for this very reputable company!
In closing I would just say: do yourself a favor and look into Keytours Vacations. You will be very happy that you did! Thanks, once again, to your organization and Vicki in particular for, once again, outdoing yourselves and making our trip to Croatia and Montenegro our best trip ever!

Osman has been phenomenal in helping us navigate travel for our clients during the pandemic. Most recently he was working the night before my client's trip to Greece assisting us with airline check in and uploading the myriad of paperwork, forms and COVID results. I so appreciate his diligence and thoroughness to make my client's trip seamless. I also appreciate him making me look so good to my clients. I use Osman and Key Tours for all my overseas land packages. I highly recommend that you do too...

I am a travel professional and I use Key Tours for private, independent trips to Europe. Vicki helped me put together a last minute trip to Italy for a family of five including transfers, hotels, rail and tours. This was the family's firts trip to Europe. Everything went prefectly and the trip was a great success. Thank you, Vicki and Key Tours for you expertise and local connections.

Great trip

Great trip, despite the timing in late May. Everything was Covid-safe and the sight-seeing was super. We had an in-depth introduction to Turkey. Our guide and driver were fabulous. There are some days with long hours on the road. So travelers may want to consider the full two-week trip.

Best trip ever.

Thanks Key tours for offering a great itinerary. Esin Soydemir was my point of contact at Key Tours who
was very kind and patient in giving me the details of the trip and answering my questions.
Just got back from our April 17 Fam Trip Classics of Turkey. It was the best trip we have ever had.
Best service, Best transportation, friendly and knowledgeable guide, Always on time. Hotels were excellent. Food was awesome.
We visited many places and learned a lot more than we knew about that area because of our guide Ismael Keser who has Ample amount of knowledge in History of Turkey.
I definitely recommend this itinerary to people who are interested in learning about the history of Turkey.

Osman is a true professional

Osman is a true professional.
I am currently working with Osman Akpinar and must say it is a pleasure. He is a true professional with a wealth of knowledge. He listens to what the client is requesting and can prepare a proposal in an unbelievably timely manor. I am so happy to be working with a 5star agent.

I've been using KeyTours for several years now. Osman is always attentive and quick to respond to questions, inquiries or any challenges I or my clients may encounter.

During the Covid crisis Osman and the KeyTours team have been flexible and willing to assist me and my clients to achieve a favourable outcome for my clients. This has been a huge relief during these stressful times and I truly appreciate it!

I look forward to booking many more trips with the KeyTours team in the future.

Osman is a rock star

I have been working with Key Tours for 2 years, specifically with Osman. He provides excellent customer service by being very responsive, very knowledgeable of their products, extremely patience with all my questions/revisions and always makes me look good in the eyes of my clients. Osman is a real gem and Key Tours is lucky to have him as part of their team and I am grateful to have him too.

Osman is extremely responsive

Osman is extremely responsive, through, knowledgeable and professional. I had previously worked with a different agent that doesn't work there anymore, honestly made me feel like I was bothersome but not Osman. So glad the BDM connected me with him.

Our trip to Egypt for a group of eight ladies was wonderful! Vicki is a joy to work with and the local Key tours operator took great care of us!
Our guides in both Cairo and on the Nile Cruise were 2 of best I have ever had..they were so passionate about their job and their country and went above and beyond! The Mayfair Esplanade was a lovely ship with a very welcoming and hospitable crew!
We couldn't have been any happier!
