Commendations

Wow did we have a good time. Your team sure does a good job of choosing guides. They were so thorough and so passionate and driven to share as much of the history of their country as they could. Everyday was filled to the brim.

Thank you so very very much for all the help making us a fantastic trip.

Thanks - you and your Turkey “crew” were fantastic!  Everything went so smoothly, the guides were terrific, the boat on the Aegean (and her crew) were such a treat.  We loved Turkey and plan on returning in the future.  While I was the one pushing Turkey inititally, the rest of my family came around after such an exceptional visit.

 I will definitely recommend you to any friends/family who desire to travel to Turkey.

 Thanks again!

I wanted to thank you for all of the planning that you and your staff did relative to our trip to Turkey.  It was perfect from beginning to end.  Your guides were excellent, your drivers were punctual and professional, and the itinerary was perfect.  Your restaurant recommendations were all excellent!  The balloon ride in Cappadocia was a true highlight, as was the lunch in the home of a local couple in the area to which our guide took us to.  Thank you so much for all of your work in sculpting this trip to truly fit what we were looking for.  It was wonderful and we so appreciate your efforts.  I am already thinking of my next trip abroad and I only wish I knew that there would be someone as detail oriented and knowledgeable as you who could put it together for us!  I promise I will refer you to all of our friends and colleagues who wish to travel to Turkey (–we already referred you to one!).

Best regards, Nancy

The Turkey trip was fabulous! 

We will use your agency again when we tour in Turkey again (much to see there) and will recommend you to others. If you do travel other than Turkey, please let me know as they were quite happy with your level of service.

Guide& driver were great. The trip was a great success. The visit to Catalhyouk sponsored in part by the Global Heritage Fund was 1 of the fantastic highlights.

Turkey was terrific. Thank you for a wonderful trip, in a fascinating country. In particular, we thought the guides were superb– smart, energetic, responsive, easy to be with– they added so much to the experience. The drivers were great as well, safe and smart and very helpful. We are very grateful for your lifetime of experience that made this trip so successful. All best, David

Our trip to Turkey was a really terrific experience.  We were very happy with all of your choices on hotels and destinations.

If possible, can you send me electronic copy of the article about your tours that I saw in Conde Naste last Nov?   I would like to pass along to some friends that have expressed interest.

Best and thanks again,

Rich

We just returned from our trip last night, exhausted, but with full souls. Our entire trip completely exceeded our expectations. Your staff and all of our guides were fantastic. We felt in excellent hands, and are so appreciative of your professional service. Thank you! Nancy Davis

Ned and I returned from our wonderful trip a week ago tomorrow.  We wanted to let you know that we had a truly memorable journey and thank you for everything – including the advise on plantar fascilitis.  Ned was able to see someone here a day prior to leaving.  The pain just went away…

We also wanted to let you know how very much we enjoyed both our driver and our guide.  We couldn’t have been more pleased.  Our guide was brilliant and really listened to what we wanted and responded accordingly.  Our driver, despite the language barrier was incredible fun, amazingly patient, and the best driver ever!

Thank you! 

Yours,

As I told you on the telephone, my wife, my grandson,and I had a wonderful time on our trip to Turkey. Everything went like clockwork. The hotels were all the best, and the itinerery was well thought out and interesting. Most importantly, however, the guides at each of our stops were superb. They were all well informed as to the history of the sites they showed us, were friendly and accommodaitng, and related well to our 14 year old grandson, making this trip a lifetime experience for him. 

Best regards,

We had a wonderful and unforgettable vacation!  All of the guides were excellent and great company, and everything went along seamlessly.  Certainly İstanbul was a highlight, but I think my Dad and I both agreed that one of the most impressive days for us was our time spent in Hattuşaş and Yazılıkaya:  we had the entire ancient capital to ourselves!  Similarly the acropolis in Pergamon was amazing.

Thank you for a trip we will always remember, and thank you for your thoughtful e-mail

Please forgive my tardy reply.  I have been trying to figure out since my return how to adequately express my appreciation to both you and your team.

I have come back transformed!  You, Turkey and your team made that happen.   Instead of being a passive passenger in life, I have been reborn.  I have refocused;  understand why I have chosen what I have chosen;  have been silly again:  overly talkative, playing pranks, laughing, positive and a host of words that embody reaffirming life.

In other words, it was not a trip.  It is not static.  It was one whose mystery, wonder and positive beauty transformed me and now I can act as a transformative agent for others.

My spirit is renewed and I feel reborn.  I am forever grateful!  Thank you!
