“Increadible”, is the one word that outlines our experience on this vacation.Because of the your tours professionalism skills and rest of the organisations.And whatever we could see during our 12 days stay in your country was incredible.We also very spoilted by your superb crew through to our trip.We almost didnt worry about anything because it was always organised and ready for us.You can publish my comments in your testimonial column. Also please feel free to use our comments. Attached are some of my favorite pictures too.
Can I say that was a truly amazing experience and that I could not have been more satisfied with the extremely hospitable staff and the friendly people.We appreciated the information that our guides was informative and educational, and they did not try to paint a different picture of Turkish history, also I found the female guides to be more energetic and attentive than the male guides.Their knowledge about their areas was encyclopaedic and their obvious pride and joy in these places was infectious. I was more than pleased with their Services.Any other tourist who gets their services will be lucky at all and go back their counrty felt totally great.
We were most impressed with the services we received and we loved every part of it. Your hotel selection in each stop was the appropriate choice given its location and accessibility to nearby necessary points.Our guides was able to tell us so much about the city of Istanbul.They did also a good job of accommodating the some of the vegetarian group members.so because of all this reasons. I already start to saving up for a return visit to Turkey again.Surely i will succeed that as soon as quick.
What a great trip in Turkey we had that i never forget in last year.it was fascinating; thanks so much for the well-organized regional tours and the very knowledgeable guides. For that reason we didnt want to finish our visit and go back to our businesses to our jobs here in Canada. Everybody was highly friendly and willing to try speaking English with us. We were really suprised at the English ability of many turkısh people. I will try my best to introduce you to my friends here in the Canada as well and we will definetely return back for second time end of this summer.So goodbye for now untill our next meeting.
