you a fast note to thank you for the two days of touring that you arranged
for us in Istanbul and Ephesus on October 15 and 18. We returned last night

you.

I wanted
to take this opportunity to express my deep satisfaction. We just returned
from an East Mediterrean cruise on Legend of the Seas. You arranged for
our private tours in Ephesus. The guide we had on the trip was
very knowledgable, personable and very accomodating to our needs. Your
prices beat the cruise ship everytime and we had our own private van for
four which was such a treat. We were able to stay as long as we wanted at
each site and walked at our own pace. We never felt rushed!!
I have
recommended you to all my friends and travel agent. We plan to return
someday to your spectacular country on a land tour so we can
concentrate on Turkey which has so very much to offer its visitors. We
will definitely be contacting you for our future plans. I wish you
continued success in your endeavors. Keep up the great work!!

to thank you so much for the wonderful tour that you took us on
to see
Ephesus, the Terrace Houses and the House of the Virgin Mary. We
really
were overwhelmed with all the beauty there, and we learned so
much
history from you. We can't stop talking about it to everyone here,
and
now we have the photos to enjoy too. We did see the skull
and arm of St.
John in the Topkapi Palace. Istanbul is such a beautiful
place also,
with so much to see.

was able to answer all of our questions, and it was obvious that he was very
knowledgeable about the sites we were visiting. We had a fantastic tour with
him and it was 20 times better than the cruise shore excursion would have
been. All of the reviews we read on your website definitely held true. We
would definitely recommend you to any of our friends visiting Turkey.

We absolutely loved our day in Ephesus. Our guide,
Sam and driver were both very cordial and kind, we loved the countryside and
everything we were taken to see. In fact, of all the stops on our
Mediterranean cruise (Rome, Florence, south of France, Naples, Athens,
several Greek Islands), Ephesus was our favorite place. What a
wonderful surprise Turkey was to us! I even wandered to the market
afterwards (a single woman, alone) and the people at the market were very
friendly and nice to me as well, not bothersome as in some other country's
markets. We were very impressed with Turkey and would love to come
back. I would not miss an opportunity to advise others to use
your company, Please know that I will take advantage of all
chances this Winter and Spring (when people are planning
their 2007 cruises) to recommend your company.

of your assistance in
arranging the tours, including our last minute

We just returned from our European vacation and wanted to
let you, and anyone else who plans to visit Turkery, know how pleased we all
were with the two tours we booked with you. We were the first ones
off the boat and were gone while all those who booked with the cruise line
were still gathering in the ships lounges. We docked earlier than expected
and your guides were already there with their signs to meet us. Through
out the day we were always a step ahead of all those big groups
who booked their tours with the cruise line so we had extra time at the
end of the day. Your guides showed us other sites and we went
shopping! We know, being from the most popular vacation destination in
the world ourselves, how there is so much to see in the short time
allowed for shore excursions. We would let others know that these are
unsolicited comments and that we would highly recommend your tours to anyone
planning to visit your country.

Both my family and I were truly impressed by
both of these wonderful, gracious and knowledgeable guides. The experience
of sharing both your country and their knowledge was far more than we had
expected. On at least 8 occasions since our return to Canada we have raved
about their abilities as well as their hospitality. In addition, at least 4
people have already asked for your web site info as well as your direct
e-mail address. Simply put, we could not have been treated better. The
drivers were courteous and efficient, the AC vehicles were spotless and
comfortable and the guides were, as Omar would put it, truly "world class".
On any return to your country, you would be the first people we would turn
to for guidance and assistance in putting together a Turkish Experience.The
experiences with them were the absolute highlights of our 7 day journey to
the Eastern Med.

van was nice and very roomy and our guide. Our guide was so
friendly and knowledgeable. His love of Turkey was very apparent and very
infectious. If you have an email address for him I'd appreciate
it. We were all so impressed with your beautiful country and would
like to return again someday soon. If we do we will definitely call
you to make the arrangements. We have friends who travel quite a
