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.Jim Duncan -Noordam -Holland America Line

It's been two months since you arranged our day tour in Kusadasi. I've been wanting to write you to tell you how much we enjoyed our short stay there. It was so nice to meet you there at the dock. We could immediately tell we were well taken care of. The 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 bit.

He was very professional and knowledgeable, and very responsive to our needs. We received service, that we honestly did not expect to get and we will use and recommend your agency in the future.

About 3 weeks ago, my husband, Dave, and I had a wonderful fullday tour including lunch. We were on Oceania Cruise and your tour exceeded our best expectations. We have dear friends who live in Alabama and will be arriving in Kusadasi on the Seven Seas Voyager, Regent lines, on October 9th, arriving in port at 8AM. They would like to have a wonderful day in Ephesus, as we experienced it, including a tour of Ephesus, Virgin Mary's House, and the Basilica of St. John.

We will never forget his kindness to us! It is indeed rare to go on tours who have such in-depth knowledge of the history and culture of the region.
