Cappadocia was everything and more.

Cappadocia was everything and more.

A tour guide can make or ruin your holiday and Abdulla, Certainly made ours. always calm, efficient, on time, ready to listen and delivered all the clients needs.

I must also mention our Driver Yusaf, not once did I feel scared or worried about my coach journey. I thanked him every day for his safe thoughtful driving. It also too could have ruined my holiday.

Maybe a domestic flight on the way back to Antalaya, save wasting a day on the road .

But loved it. Thank you

Cappadocia RSD

Yet another RSD success (my 9th trip, so far)
Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful time from start to finish. The scenery was breathtaking (my only suggestion would be an internal flight either there or back, so as not to waste a day just driving)
Many thanks to our driver Yousef, for keeping us safe, care-taking our luggage, he was always Smiling (how does one do that after driver for so long!!)
our Guide Abdullah (very easy on the eye) for his informative, professional , organised, and entertaining ways.

Once again thank you Rsd off to Sweden, Vietnam and Egypt next.

Astonishing Azores

We thoroughly enjoyed out tour to São Miguel, the most populous island of the Azores arranged by RSD. Our enjoyment of this mid-Atlantic Portuguese archipelago, rich in culture, history and scenic splendour, was much enhanced by the professionalism and helpfulness of our guide Pedro, perhaps the best guide we have encountered to date. Highlights included whale watching, Sete Cidades, volcanic crater, swimming in the iron-rich thermal pool at Terra Nostra botanical garden and the quiet kindliness of the local population.
The comfortable four-star VIP Executive hotel in the island capital of Punta Delgada made an ideal base for the various tours and of course for enjoying the attractions of the historic town itself. We left with so many happy memories from os Ilhas de Bruma. Muito obrigado.

Everything was well organised and…

Everything was well organised and timekeeping was excellent. Our Tour guide and driver were exceptional. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, but also funny, friendly and a good sport. Our driver was the best. Always smiling and helpful. We were kept very busy throughout. Decent hotels and mainly good food.
I would thoroughly recommend the tour and good value for the money.

Avoid Half Board & All Inclusive

Reading many reviews complaining about the standard of rooms and quality of food and restaurant service in hotels which RSD select and claim as high quality, I'm glad we opted not to take the half board or all inclusive packages on the tours we've been on.
The reps try to claim there is nowhere in the vicinity to eat out which we've proved to be false information and have always found local restaurants with delicious food at a fraction of the daily cost.
Don't fall for the 'hard sell' and snide comments as they try to guilt-trip if you opt not to purchase those packages.

Interesting tour and excellent value for money

A very interesting tour, real value for money. Our guide made everything easy for us, was full of interesting cultural and general information, and he looked after us very well.
Cappadocia is a beautiful and unique area, full of fascinating places.

We had a great trip to Cappadocia

We had a great trip to Cappadocia and Antalya, very interesting parts of Southern Turkey. Saw a lot in six full days of sightseeing, but not too tiring. Stayed in super hotels, and had an excellent guide and driver on the coach.

Istanbul and the Aegean


I enjoyed a relaxing and memorable holiday in Turkey with RSD, travelling alongside a group of strangers who soon became good friends. The visits to the historical sites were particularly interesting and added real value to the trip.
The standard of the hotels was good throughout the holiday, providing comfort and a pleasant base for sightseeing. The driver was especially helpful and went the extra mile to support passengers, which made travelling around much easier.
The additional week was excellent, with accommodation in a great location that was conveniently situated on a bus route, making it simple to get around. Overall, it was a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
Highly recommend this trip.

Istanbul guided tour with RSD

We have just recently been on the Istanbul trip with RSD, we took our grandson for the archeology experience and for a much needed break from college. The trip exceeded his expectations. The history of the visited sites in this part of the country is amazing, our guide 'Umit' is very knowledgeable and attentive as well as our coach drive, they worked in harmony with each other. On the first week of the trip, all apart from one hotel in the centre of Istanbul ('a marriot hotel', this was a complete shambles), were excellent, the evening food package was worth the money, except for the above hotel previously mentioned. Our 2nd week was based in a hotel, on the beach from about a 20 minute drive from anywhere, but local transport was easy to come by, the hotel offered plenty to do, there was an amazing swimming pool, on site hammam, spa and massage packages, a few shops at basement level, sunbeds on the beach, in-house entertainment on some evenings if you want to join in, outside terraces and a lovely lounge area to sit and relax. We had the full board package deal and found it to be excellent value. The food was superb with a amazing variety of dishes. The rooms are spotless and all the staff are polite, I would recommend this trip on the grounds of my experience. It was above and beyond what my grandson expected, making him a convert to future RSD trips, my husband and myself have travelled with RSD for about 12 years, we've me some lovely people and also made some friends, in general, our trips with RSD have been good and we have got to see places that we would never have seen under our own travel arrangements. These organised trips are excellent. Thanks to RSD.

EXCEPTIONAL and SPECIAL

EXCEPTIONAL and SPECIAL. This was an exceptionally good value for money experience which will be remembered for a lifetime. The person I travelled with asked what was your highlight and overall it was the Balloon Flight, however, each and everyday had its own very special highlight. The spectacular nature of the landscape in Cappadocia contrasted magnificently with the coast in Antalya. AN OUTSTANDING TRIP

Wonderful experience and great value for money

This was a two week trip to Turkey and Rhodes, which was a fantastic value for money holiday. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute made more special by our guide Rosie who really looked after us. It ended with a week in a 5 star luxury hotel the Rodos Palace, the room was fantastic and spacious with a large balcony and the food was good. What more could you ask for.

Just completed a 15 day tour of Rhodes…

Just completed a 15 day tour of Rhodes and Aegean. Never traveled with RSD before but this certainly won’t be our last. Our guide Suat’s knowledge and skills made everything so easy and well thought out. The coach driver was very helpful with luggage we also had a wheeled walking aid which presented no problem whatsoever. Each hotel we stayed at was top notch food was very good and plentiful. Overall a brilliant holiday the price was amazing extremely good value for money. Should this holiday be repeated with similar costs and provisions we will be repeating this wonderful experience. Well done RSD

There were so many points of our wonderful holiday and all amazing! RSD thank you.

There were so many points of our wonderful holiday .
RSD never disappoint . We have had numerous fantastic holidays with them and the price is always terrific.
This holiday we went to Cappadocia and it is the most beautiful destination. The flight with Sun Express was great. The guide Abdula met us at the airport and we were on Josephs coach. He was such a lovely man and always smiling.. The guide was amazing and went above and beyond. We visited wonderful places and even had a sunrise balloon flight. Hotels and food fabulous and a great crowd on our coach. There was nothing to fault and we had an excellent and interesting time. As always a fantastic holiday.
Thank you RSD we will be going on others with you.

Disappointing Rhodes and Turkey Holiday

After a successful holiday to Northern Cyprus last April we decided to do Rhodes , Türkey and then Rhodes for a week without any tours. The first part of the holiday in Rhodes was okay the hotel and food acceptable. The Turkey part of the holiday was when it started to go wrong. There were four coaches all travelling to the same places and same hotels causing large queue's, the last Hotel was not acceptable as we were spread over the grounds in blocks of rooms, ok for youngsters but not for the age group on this tour. The coaches were ok but in this day and age there should be a toilet on board especially when on one day the whole day was spent in the coach. The real problems started on our return to Rhodes and what was supposed to be our five star hotel. How the Rodus Palace Hotel received a five star rating I will never know. The rooms were tired , wall paper hanging of the walls, electric points not working, This hotel had sixteen floors with only four working lifts, there were over a thousand guests, mainly RSD Travel causing cues to get to and from your room. The worst part was the dining room, ques of hundreds of people entering at all meal times. Cold food , the same every meal no variety, tables without cutlery and no where enough staff at dining times.
At no point for the whole holiday were there any RSD Travel personnel there. The guides on the coaches were employed by the coach companies a real disappointing holiday never again
