An insightful tour! Emre... - An insightful tour! Emre was a great guide who brought us to the various sites and explained both the historical and biblical significance. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. While the tour was slightly pricey and did not include one of the churches (Smyrna), we enjoyed the skip-the-line tickets, hotel stays, food, and especially the personal interaction with the guide that allowed us to ask questions while we walked on the very ground of the ancient cities.

Amazing 7 church tour with amazing tour guide - We are so glad to find this 7 church tour that was not offered in most Turkey tours. There were only my wife and I, so it was like a private tour. Tez is the amazing guide who was very knowledgeable and passionate to make sure all our needs were met. Our visit to House of Virgin Mary happened to land on Sunday, Tez was so thoughtful to arrange the travel plan, so we could attend the service right at house of Virgin Mary. I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes to visit 7 churches.

Great value, highly recommended! - Our first time visiting Turkiye and we had a wonderful time. Tan (guide) was knowledgeable and a good communicator, made our tour interesting and lively. Enjoyed his story telling. Tariq (driver) was careful, kept to speed limits and was so courteous. The pace was great and flexible. The hotel accommodation and buffets were great and beyond our expectations, as were the local lunches. Airport transfers made arrival and departures very convenient, as were our hotel check ins and check outs. Great value and highly recommended in case you're considering a mini tour of the Seven Churches. We will definitely consider using Curio Travel again for our next visit to Turkiye.

Best tour company ever - This tour of the 7 churches was really a wonderful experience that I highly recommend. It brought the Bible alive, seeing all the sites.
The tour company did an amazing job. This was the best part. Their attention to detail was second to none. Airport pickup and drop off plus all the road trips were grand with limo-style & luxury Mercedes mini van and they were on time EVERYTIME. They were so comfortable we didn't even feel the effects of our many travels. They were also flexible as my flight was delayed a couple of times, even arriving at 3am but they still picked up graciously.
They booked the best hotels, especially Charisma 1st by far, then Collosse Thermal 2nd and last by far was Kaya Prestige. Even the rooms were superior rooms.
Last and most importantly, thanks to Emre, our tour guide who was so knowledgeable and looked after our needs. It made all the difference. Having a good tour guide is a huge benefit and a must have to really have the best tour.
Overall, I would recommend these people. Our group felt like family after this experience. I want to come back for the Paul's Missionary Journey tour.

We had a really great time touring the sites of the seven churches of the Revelation. - Curio Tours' organisation meant they did all the leg work and we just showed up - every stage of the tour went to plan.
They arranged airport pick up following delayed flights that arrived at 3am, and additionally, their flexibility meant they agreed to arrange our airport transfers following rest days we took after the tour.
Emre our guide was very knowledgeable and give us lots of useful historical and geographical background information that set the church sites in conext. This enhanced our understanding of the relevance of the letter to each church.
Izmir hotel was good, and the hotels and accommodation and hospitality at Pammukale and Kusadasi hospitality went from better to excellent.
Highly recommended, no regrets.

Great experience overall - Our tour guide Melih made the trip very memorable since he helped us to understand the historical context of the locations of the 7 churches in Revelation. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and made the experience very unique and educational. The tour was very organized and the hotels were nice, not to mention the food. Great that Pamukkale was also included in the tour! Overall great experience.

Prepare, book it, go. Be surprised, informed and in awe. A great experience! - Me and my wife booked this trip largely on the back of the impeccable reviews. We had wanted to return to Turkey for some time, yet with a more meaningful purpose than simply tourism.
From the initial point of contact, right though to the last, we had any/all of our questions answered in a helpful and timely manner. The trip itself was hugely memorable and really aids itself well to getting a greater perspective on the biblical narrative of the book of Revelation and the cultural setting in which it was written.
We strongly recommend that in advance, you read the seven letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation and listen to good teaching on them too (see Ligonier.com). Some of the site visits are pretty quick and at times may seem rushed, but given the tight schedule it's to be expected. To get the best out of the trip you really do need to do your homework in advance. Our tour guide was a fountain of knowledge and very likeable too.
Our accommodation overall was comfortable and certainly at the higher end of the market, particularly the final hotel that we stayed in- that was breath-taking and an amazing way to complete the tour!
We strongly recommend this to you.

A glimpse into the ancient past - I have done the 7 churches of Revelation tour twice, first in 2019 with my daughter then in 2023 with my son. The tour was brilliant. So many fascinating archaeological sites spanning thousands of years. As well as explanations at each site, our guide Kerem gave summaries of the historical significance of each site while travelling. He also picked out fabulous places to eat lunch, and sought our preferences for which sites and other potential activities to include. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in ancient history, including the early church.

Amazing tour - Yavuz was an awesome guide. He is very passionate about the history and culture of Turkey and it shows in his knowledge of the subjects and his excitment to share. He even took the time to talk to us on the long bus rides about life in Turkey so even got a good sense of modern Turkey which was great.
