Setzer & Thomas - USA

My friend Liz and I had a wonderful time on our tour. We were amazed at how you managed to organize everything so that we were always met by someone helpful and friendly to lead us from one tour to the next, even though we requested a number of out-of-the-way sights. Osman and the driver Numan in Cappadocia and Yeliz from Cannakale were particularly knowledgeable and accommodating. Sardis was my favourite sight, worth the long drive. My friend Liz liked all of Cappadocia and hopes to return.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment came on the last day, at the Dardanelles. Necessarily, the tour was geared to New Zealanders and Australians and our guide was difficult to understand--although enthusiastic. The Seven Hills Hotel was the best and we will both try to stay there again if, insallah, we ever get to return.

Hello!

This is what we loved about the trip!

All of the intra-country travel and pick up arrangements were great, and made the trip very easy. It was great not to have to worry about how to get from point A to point B, and coordinate cabs and public transit.

The hotel in Cappadocia was beautiful! We loved it.

Location of Seven Hills Hotel was perfect.

Our Ephesus tour guide was excellent, and we were on a small group tour.

Hi Cenan,

I know this email comes late but I would like to give my feedback regarding the Turkey as promised.
- Your tour company was wonderful and everyone we met including Mrs. Gulay and the drivers were great.
- The privacy on the trip in regards to transfers between hotels was fantastic.
- The flights all departed and arrived on time and were very comfortable.
- The hotels were wonderful. The only hotel we were not a fan of was the Asena Beach Hotel in Oludeniz. It was not at all of the calibre of the other hotels that you booked for us; it was very noisy, the room was very basic, but to be fair the food was very good.
- My favourite hotel was in Bodrum - the El Vino. It was stunning. Of course I loved them all including Kusadasi.
- The only complaint I have is in Kusadasi was one of the male beach staff - a Mohamed - was very forward with me and my travel partner. We were 2 women travelling together and he made some personal advances toward us every day we were there -- he did not comprehend that we did not want to be bothered. But, we brought this to the attention of the hotel on our last day with a letter to management. The hotel itself was absolutely gorgeous.

The tours - both the Oludeniz cruise and the Ephesus tour were good. I would definitely book with Myturkeytours.com again. I hope you can arrange a similar trip for me to Greece in the summer. What is important to me is to be in nice accommodation, have good food, and not be in places that are extremely busy. So thanks again for making our trip very memorable and I hope to book with your company again real soon.

Thanks,
Solmaz

Just wanted to check in after our October trip for a bit of a debrief.....
First of all, I want you to know we were very, very pleased with all the organization you put in place.
At every plane arrival - and my husband kept reminding me how MANY there were.... - there was always someone standing there with a "Sharon Bishin" sign to transfer us to our hotels (which were all fine) and then take us back to the airport (and they always kept us in line time-wise). Your travel people were very present in each city and provided us with vouchers and tickets in a most comprehensive manner. The tours were good. I would absolutely recommend your operation to anyone who asks.

Great memories. Super destinations.

Thanks for all your help.

Our Turkey tour went very well. All of our pick-ups were on time. We even got picked up when we arrived on a different flight than originally scheduled. The tour guides were very good. We feel like we really got to know Turkey and enjoyed all the sights and experiences. The lunch restaurants and hotels were all very good. We got very good value for the money spent. Overall it was an exceptionally good tour. I would have preferred to see something like the Basilica Cisterns or one of the Baths instead of the Rustem Pasa Mosque.

Thank you.

Dear Cenan and Gulay,

I can’t thank both of you enough for a truly incredible trip that you put together for the Travel Wizards group. From start to finish, our vacation was wonderful. In all my travels, I can honestly say that Seyit was the finest tour director I have had. His historical knowledge, as well as his fun personality made him the perfect person to lead. His restaurant suggestions and shopping opportunities really were on target with this diverse group. Everybody loved the accommodations, especially in Cappadocia and Kusadasi.

I would not hesitate in the least to recommend your services to any of my fellow agents in our office and elsewhere.

I didn’t learn how to say thank you in Turkish, but it is really heartfelt!

Best Regards,

Andrea

HI!

We had a terrific time on the tour that you planned for us in Turkey. We talked with Ms. Gulay our last evening in Istanbul and told her that we were very happy with all the arrangements. There were no problems with the transfers. When we come to Turkey again to go on another blue cruise we will ask for a boat that does actually do a bit of sailing in addition to motor cruising. The swimming was great and the water not to cold. Everyone we met was very nice. We will be recommending your agency to our friends.

Take care and have a good rest after the high tourist season ends for this year.

 

Daniele & Rjean - Canada

As advised earlier, we had a wonderful trip. The pick-ups were always on time, except for one in Antalya and your contact person was available to correct the situation. She was also in touch throughout the voyage to ascertain that we were satisfied with the details of our trip. The hotels suggested by your firm were most delightful, particularly Gamirasu in Cappadocia, El Vino in Bodrum and Alp Pasa in Antalya. I have to say that Cappadocia was probably the highlight of our trip. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining, and we enjoyed the fact that the groups were usually no more than 12 people in a minivan. After a hectic first week, it was nice to relax at the El Vino Hotel in Bodrum.

The Turkish people were friendly and very accommodating everywhere we went and we definitely want to return to Turkey.
We encountered other Canadians who ran into credit card payment difficulties. This is unfortunate. Your organization is thoroughly professional and attentive to detail, we received value for our money and I would not hesitate to recommend you to fellow travellers.

I wish you the best and I will be happy to share my experience with others.

Regards,

 

Linda & Hung - USA

Thank you for helping arrange our travel to Turkey and Greece. Our trip was seemless, Our Turkey Tours representatives met us at each leg of our journey, we enjoyed our hotels and their central location to the places we wanted to see.

We found Turkey magical, friendly and inexpensive. We would definitely go back to Turkey. We enjoyed Greece's history and food.

During our tours there were other friends of ours, who we met along the way, that had trouble with some aspect of their trip. We were glad that we never had any trouble, we were never left stranded, we never hated our hotels etc.

We have recommended "My Turkey Tours" to everyone we have talked with.

All the best,
Linda
 

Christina & Randolph - USA

We had a great trip! Highlights were the kind tour employees, including drivers. They made us feel @ home in your country, 8,000 thousand miles from our home.

We always felt safe and welcomed. They had good undestanding of the history and culture, we learned so much. Their english was good. It was awesome to get to a new destination and your staff would be waiting for us with our names on a large sign!! We never waited or wondered.

The Bella Hotel in Selcuk was great! The Elvino Hotel in Bodrum was great!
In Rodes Is. Greece (I can't remember the name of the hotel) there was black mold on the ceiling in our room. The mold reeked and cigarette smoked lingered. We asked to be moved and they agreed to do that. In Marmaris, Kaymarmara Hotel was good, except they neglected to tell us that it was an "all inclusive hotel" and all meals/drinks were free. That would have saved us alot of money.

The food was all very tasty, never had a bad meal.

So, there were just a few issues, but they didn't dampened the trip. We only wish we had more time! Our sailing trip was magical, too. We sailed 200 miles of Aegean coastline. Explored numerous ports of call/ruins/tombs. Swimming/snorkelling in the warm crystal clear waters. A trip of a lifetime. Thanks again for putting it together so nicely. We'll be happy to give referrals.

Sincerely,

Tina Little and Randy Grant

 

Eda & Richard - USA

I am delighted to respond to your email. In fact, it had been my intention to contact you when the dust settled and all the tasks one comes home to had come under better control.

I would say unequivocally that this was one of the most enjoyable holidays that my husband and I have taken in the last decade. It is difficult to chose one moment or experience that is more marvellous than any other, though we have tried asking ourselves that very question.

First, our accommodations were marvellous and for the most part an excellent fit for the kind of environments we like best. The Seven Hills Hotel and the Yunak Evleri in particular were intimate, welcoming and exactly the right size. The Charisma in Kusadasi was a first class hotel, but more impersonal than the accommodations that we most prefer (that is not a criticism, simply a preference.) The staff at the Seven Hills was particularly accommodating: I lost a notebook somewhere in Istanbul, and they were able to recover it for me (or perhaps the detective was the excellent Miss Gulay) within hours.

Turkey itself was a revelation. The warmth of the people we encountered, the beauty of the landscape and the richness of the archaeological and historical sites were unexpected and immensely absorbing.
We were fortunate to have truly excellent guides in Cappadocia and Kusadasi who educated us and took excellent care of us. We also met some really interesting fellow travellers and we've maintained contact with a few.

Transitions are often the most frustrating and anxiety provoking aspects of a journey. Our trip involved seven different plane flights, numerous pick-ups (some as early as 5 AM) and connections. The reliability and professionalism of your guides and drivers never disappointed us. They were always on time, always in the appointed place, and always courteous and amiable. It felt effortless.

Things we loved:
The view from the breakfast terrace at the Seven HIlls Hotel. The excitement of Istanbul.
The wonderful Turkish food (the great buffet breakfasts at all our hotels) especially the meal we had at Ceya in Kadakoy.
That we were lucky to have our holiday during Ramadan so that we could be part of the amazing carnival of
celebrants around the Blue Mosque at night.
The way that secular and religious lives coexist compatibly.
A night in a cave hotel; the underground cities and above ground caves of Cappadocia
Ephesus
The Tuesday market in Kusadasi
The sense of history the is present everywhere
How kind and friendly the Turkish people were.

I could go on, but that would mean essentially commending everywhere we went, and everyone we had contact with. I will say that my conversations and emails with you even prior to our departure inspired confidence and reassurance that we were in excellent hands.

We have very few reservations: Our guide in Istanbul was extremely personable and highly intelligent, but a little too indifferent and distracted. One carpet demonstration and sales opportunity would have been sufficient, though I recognize the importance to the local economies of bringing visitors to these sites in each locality. (and we actually enjoyed them.)

Really, though - it was a dream trip. And we are credit you with its ease and fluidity.

I would unhesitatingly recommend your agency to any traveler, and hope that we will be lucky enough to be able to use your services again. Thank you fro creating and customizing such a wonderful experience for us.

My best wishes,

Eda

The trip was fabulous. You did a wonderful job. The only thing that needed to be changed was the last hotel, but you did that promptly and effectively. I told Gulay that we would consider sharing the x-tra expense but she said it wasn't necessary as long as we are happy.

As a travel agent with Global Travel International (GTI) I am telling them what a wonderful job you did and am notifying them in hopes they will notify their 4,000 independent travel agents about your expertise in Turkey and Greece.

Thank you for your immediate attention to our problem enabling us to end our journey on a really high note. I have already referred your agency to my son's colleague who will soon be traveling to Turkey. The Seven Hills hotel is in an excellent location and the rooms and personnel were terrific, the drivers were always on time and the guides were very knowledgeable. Tank you again for helping me plan this excellent trip as a gift to our Grandson for his 13th birthday.

Most sincerely, Jayne and Alan Drucker.

Dear Cenan and Gulay:

I don't even know where to begin with out praise for your organization, drivers, guides and itinerary. Everything was flawless. You arrived on time and prepared for our every wish. The guides were phenomenal. They 'knew their stuff'.. We saw and did things in each place that were different and informative. We hiked, crawled and climbed.

The hotels were as you predicted. Marmara in was well located but we would have been happier in the Sultanhmet area but it was never a problem. The staff and facilities were to out enjoyment. The Museum Cave Hotel was an true experience. The rooms, the views, the pool, the staff were exceptional. The Charisma was a real resort. Am sure we would have enjoyed using the facilities if we had been there long enough.

The guides(and drivers) were courteous and helpful. We loved Tilye. She gave us incite into modern life in Istanbul as well as historical information. Her life experiences let us understand the atmosphere and problems Turkey faces. In Cappodocia (which we truly loved) Failth walked us and showed us all types of places and experiences. He knew where to climb and where to crawl. He even climbed a tree to get us fresh apricots. The two days were spent with him were full of fun and physical activity. And last, Ylyss was well informed too. The excessive heat made our day in Ephesus most difficult, but it was not her fault.

And so, you're to be commended and thanked for a most outstanding experience. We will keep your group in mind to share with our friends anytime.

Thank you again for a most wonderful time.........

Roger Elkin & Tasha Mott - USA

Dear Cenan,

I am pleased to report that our trip was very enjoyable and the services provided by your company were excellent.

The staff, from the people handling the transfers to the guides, were all very professional. We found most of the staff to be friendly, helpful, and informative.

The trip details were well organized and things ran smoothly.

The food and accommodations were also quite good. The Anatolian Houses Goreme and the Swiss Hotel (your recommendation) were the best in Turkey and the Melenos Lindos on Rhodes was a real treat.

The itinerary was nicely paced and the sights were all interesting.

We enjoyed all of the tours although some guides were naturally stronger than others.

As I mentioned to you before, you were especially efficient and responsive in arranging the details and booking the trip up front.

Our only criticism, which we often have in our travels, is the somewhat reckless driving of select individuals. Although most of our drivers were safe, we did have 2 drivers who drove too quickly, particularly around blind curving roads, and tail gaited and passed other drivers unsafely, making for a very uncomfortable ride.

I would certainly recommend your tour company for a trip to Turkey.

Thank you again,

Tasha

My trip was brilliant. I loved every part of it. It was well planned and organized. Hotels were good, and all my pick up's were on time.

I would recommend your company to others!

Thank you.
 

Arkenberg Family - USA

We just got back from our trip yesterday afternoon. It was amazing. We can't thank you enough for all of your hard work in putting together a personal itinerary for us that met our every objective. The trip exceeded our expecations. Let us just name a few of the highlights.

Your logistical planning was superb. We were met, as scheduled, every step of the way and were well taken care of by your meet and greet people as well as your transfer agents. It was so comforting to know that we would be met by your people at every destination. This was very personalized service.

Your agent, Gulay, in Istanbul was informative, helpful and available for any issue we might have. The tour you set up for us in Ephesus was great as we had a very knowledgeable tour guide and driver. The hotels were excellent. We especially were impressed with the Charrisma hotel in Kusadasi, as well as the hotels in Santorini, Mykonos and Athens.

Cenan, we know you pulled this together for us in a very short time frame which makes our appreciation for what you did, even greater. We don't like large organized tours so your services provided the best alternative so we could do the trip on our own, while feeling comfortable that you and your people were always there to help, advise and move us to the next destination with ease and efficiency.

We are recommending Turkey as a destination to our friends and will definitely recommend My Turkey Tours.

Thanks for helping us put together a truly memorable trip. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Part 2:

We wanted to send you some detailed feedback but did not want to distract from the overall message which we had for you which is one of GREAT appreciation. We were truly impressed with the amazing trip you put together for us. WOW!!!
So, in case you wanted some detailed feedback, here it is:


HOTELS:
Overall Superb. The Charisma hotel in Kusadasi truly deserves its 5 stars. The staff was great and the hotel property was beautiful with every amenity, fabulous pool, good SPA, average fitness center and stunning views. It was also nice that it was away from the town center. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The Volcano View could not have been more beautiful. Our room was great and the location, away from the congestion of Fira was perfect. The view was incredible!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The Deliades in Mykonos was a great find. The location at Ornos Bay was wonderful. The Staff was GREAT. They could not have been nicer. Again, you did a great job of locating us away from the noise and congestion of Mykonos town. We did upgrade though as the standard rooms were dark and small. They were located on the first floor, just off the road in the front of the hotel. All they had available was a junior suite, but it was amazingly beautiful and made the stay truly memorable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Athens Gate Hotel was a gem. Recently refurbished the room was the20epitome of modern efficiency and clean style. The staff was on top of their game. Highly efficient and welcoming. They could not have been nicer. And as for location, it could not have been better. It was right in the heart of things. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The Rodos Palace was good but had some quirks and Jim and I split on our views. The pluses were the fitness center, the pool area and the breakfast. I also loved being right across from the beach area. Again, in a very nice area of town. The downside was the staff. Not overly pleasant. Always felt like they were doing you a favour. Internet access came at a cost and inconvenient procedure and the fitness center was a bit expensive to use but very nice. The pool towel required a cash deposit. The hotel and room could have used a bit updating. The hotel's 5 stars are a bit of a stretch. Again, we were not disappointed overall and you can feel comfortable booking people there.

Elegance Hotel in Marmaris was not good. This is where we had a glitch as they said they did not receive payment and cancelled our reservation. This came after a very long day in Ephesus and a very long car ride to Marmaris. We were tired and the hotel reception was not very nice. Thankfully, Gulay was easily reached by cell phone and quickly resolved the matter. But the desk clerk was not very nice about it. The physical parts of=2 0the hotel were very tired. The lobby, room and bathroom were basic at best. This hotel definitely does not warrant its Star rating. You might want to find another property in Marmaris. NOT RECOMMENDED

The tour in Ephesus was SUPERB. The tour guide Cedugm (Sorry about the spelling) and driver Mr. Ali were great. We had one other couple with us and we could not have felt better taken care of. She was very informative. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The tour in Athens was okay, but the Logistical planning was very poor. We were picked up early at the hotel (7:30 am) and kept on the bus for the next 60 minutes as we collected other people and circled the same neighbourhood of our hotel. We kept passing our hotel on this odyssey. At 8:30, we pulled up at the tour company's staging area not 100 meters from our hotel in order to divide people up into their tours. Once on our new bus, we made one stop at another hotel at 8:40 am, not 50 meters from our hotel. We should have been given the option of meeting up with the tour at either 8:30 at the tour company or at 8:40 at the neighbouring hotel. The tour itself was a large tour and was okay.

Cenan, as I said in my other e-mail, your logistical planning was outstanding. The meters and greeters and transfer agents were SUPERB! They were always there as scheduled and could not have been nicer and the ferries and flights were good. Truly a great part of the trip and a highlight. THANK YOU!!! I hope that this feedback is very helpful for you and I would be happy to give you any more detail.


Sincerely,
Todd & Jim Arkenberg
 

Kathleen Wall - Canada

Sorry I have been meaning to write to you since I got back but I have been very busy. We had a fabulous time!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much! Overall the trip was incredible.
Also i should say up front that everyone we dealt with was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Everywhere we went was a highlight but I think in terms of your arrangements some of the big highlights were: (not in any order)

1. The hotel in Athens - Athens Cypria. It is was so perfectly located downtown that we were able to walk everywhere and were right in the heart of the City.

2. The Blue Hills hotel in Istanbul was also so perfectly situated that we could get everywhere easily and were seconds away from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia - what more could you ask for!

3. I think one of very greatest highlights was our tour of Ephesus. We had an almost private tour (there were only 4 of us) with a fabulous guide (Cedgim) and our driver Ali (who was our driver the entire time we were in Kusadasi) who was also fabulous. We had an incredible tour and the lunch at the Carpet Institute was incredible and the atmosphere was beautiful. We also had two very nice students who picked us up at the ferry and the transfer to the airport and they were so sweet and so enthusiastic that it was contagious and made us feel very welcome.

All of our tours were great and the transfers went really well except in Istanbul (see note below). In Athens we were met right away by an agent from GATS who gave us all of our transfers and explained everything. It was all really well organized and we were met at every location by very friendly and helpful people.

Here are a few comments for possible improvement:

1. There was a problem with our pickup from the Istanbul airport and the transfer to the airport from our hotel in Istanbul. Those were the only issues with transfers and they were solved.

2. Our hotel in Heraklion was very nice (The Castello) but it was in an incredibly noisy location that made it difficult to sleep. It was also a longer walk to the downtown area but it was fairly close to the waterfront.

Those were the only minor things that didn't go as well. Otherwise the trip was one I'll never forget and that in part is to all of the arrangements that you made and from all of the people who we met and helped us along the way.

Thank you so much to you and your team for all of their work - it was fabulous!!!

We absolutely loved our time in Turkey! We felt very well cared for with our hotels, drivers and tours, with only one small exception. We will be recommending Turkey as a wonderful place to all of our friends. Our first guide, on the Bosphorous and 2 continents tour, was somewhat unfriendly and actually told me to not ask any questions. His name was Ali. We did, however enjoy seeing the things we saw that day. Our second guide, Sheref, was absolutely wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our day with him. He not only showed and explained about the sites, but also helped us understand and appreciate many things about Turkey's religion, people, and culture. We had Yeliz for our day in Ephesus, etc., and she was also fantastic. The Kismet hotel was a lovely place to spend the night after a long day of touring, with gorgeous views of the Aegean. Oludeniz is the place we did not want to leave. The hotel Meri is in a great location and we couldn't believe how beautiful the Mediterranean is. We swam, boated, para-glided and relaxed in that little piece of heaven. So, overall, the vacation package you arranged for us was nearly perfect. The hotels, sites, guides (mostly), and people were fabulous! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. We have a new appreciation for your beautiful, historic country.

Sincerely,

Leslee Preece
 

Chao Family - USA

We have just finished our wonderful 12-day trip to Turkey.

My daughter’s arrival in Istanbul was delayed for 8 hours due to the poor weather in Boston. The airline changed her flight two times. Your local agent, Gulay Konal, was very helpful and arranged for a driver to pick and drive my daughter to the hotel.

The hotels were in great locations. We like the smaller Blue Hills Hotel in Istanbul the best. The manager there Aydin Tumen and his associates were so warm and friendly.

The places we visited – Istanbul and Cappadocia are exceptional, Ephesus and Pamukkale are great. We found Pergamum less attractive, we probably would enjoy more by substituting it with Gallipoli.

Our tour guides were all very good. We especially liked the two gentlemen in Cappadocia.

We have been telling some friends how happy we are about this trip. Turkey is truly a beautiful country, rich in history, and the people are great. We are lucky to have this opportunity to experience a little bit of it. Thank you very much for making this possible for us.

Sincerely,

Hung-Ya, Sue, and Andrea Chao

 

Mark Jacobs - USA

Thanks!

We had a wonderful time and would recommend the country to all. The people were friendly and the country beautiful. Istanbul and Cappadocia were unbelievable places to visit. Your organization was professional and if there were any issues Gulay attended to this immediately. The hotels in Cappadocia, Kusudasi and Taksim square were beyond what we expected. The hotels in Sultanamet and Antalya were average.

All our tours were outstanding and the drivers very warm and friendly.

Best regards and thank you for making Turkey one of the best places we have visited,

Aguilar Lorena- USA

I travel more than eight months in a year, so I get in contact with many different travel agencies and tour guides. I have to say that I will classify My Turkey Tours as one of the best five agencies I have work with in the past 25 years. They were responsible, on time, great guides and always went that little inch more to make our trip an incredible experience.

Thanks

Cenan,

Just completed our fabulous trip to Turkey and Greece. Your country was most interesting and enjoyable. The people, historical and religious sites, the Bosporus, the food – in short, everything was memorable.

The hotels you picked were outstanding especially on Santorini! Most impressively, your staff was always there on time and very courteous and helpful in each of the four sites we visited. Our tour guide in Istanbul was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The Dersaadet Hotel staff were very helpful and went the extra step by getting our breakfast at 5:00 AM on the day of our departure!


Thank you and all of your staff.

My family and I can’t thank you enough for making our trip to Turkey such a success! It was wonderful. We feel truly blessed to have experienced this beautiful country and met it’s wonderful people. The guides were invaluable. We all learned so much. Everyone concerned seemed to take extra care to make us feel at home. And talk about timely, we never waited one moment for a driver or guide!

I guess the only thing we would change would be our hotel outside Fettia. We felt it was too touristy for us and would have preferred a small boutique hotel in hindsight. That certainly was not your fault. We just loved our other hotels and getting to know the Turkish people who worked in the smaller hotels was very special to us.

I don’t know that we will ever be able to visit Turkey again, but it certainly isn’t because we don’t want to. You have a wonderful country that should be experienced by anyone who has the chance to go. Your company made that possible. We probably could have done it without you, but I doubt it ever could have been done as well.

Wall Family- USA

I guess when we engaged your services your company was only 1 year old however each of you have experience in your specialty areas.

1. My Turkey Tours presented a well designed, efficient and economical 3 city and 7 day tour of turkey including Istanbul, Cappodocia and Ephesus.
2. The guide in Ephesus was probably the must knowledgeable, and the guide in Istanbul was average however he met our needs to move quickly. In Cappadocia you just need someone to basically take you around.
3. The hotels Miriam, museum and Kayseri were excellent. In fact A and K used all of them except in Istanbul. The musuem hotel is simply over the top.
4. Our two days at the museum hotel included cooking school with the chef Moustaphah, Turkish shave and haircut and just great dining options.
5. Our first day Iin stanbul was from 9am to 10pm and we went to 14 venues. The second was relaxing and always effortless.
6. The drivers were always on time at the airport and to pick us up. The vans were very clean as is all of Turkey.
7. My Turkey Tours simply is a great choice for independent and personalized travel and we want our children to enjoy travel to Turkey without us.

Sincerely...

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Turkey. Thank you for making everything flawless. I was a little concerned whether we get picked up on time from the airports but we did not encounter much problem. Only in Cappadocia, the driver was waiting at the wrong exit gate and fortunately we had a cell phone and called your Istanbul office and they quickly resolved the confusion. Just one problem was none of the drivers we had spoke any English at all.

All the hotels were excellent and met our expectations. We were a little disappointed with the guide and the driver in Cappadocia. Also some of the vans had inadequate air conditioning. But overall the trip was very enjoyable and without any unexpected incidents.

Thank you once again for making our trip successful. My special thanks to your office people in Istanbul and the personnel at the reception at Seven Hills hotel (especially Benjamin).

Thanks and keep up your good work.

I have been meaning to write to you and Gulay at Medhills travel. We had a wonderful experience in Turkey! We loved the country itself, the culture and people. The sights were wonderful. Our itinerary was action packed, and you guys did a great job! the staff was unbelievably kind, helpful, and really helped us out with whatever problems we had. the travelling was seamless and everything was taken care for us. We really enjoyed this trip and would recommend Turkey and your services to anyone!! Thanks again for such a memorable trip!

I wanted to thank you for putting a wonderful package together for us, we had such an amazing trip in your country. I have travelled quite a bit but never experienced such warm and beautiful people. The company that worked with us were timely, reliable and incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make us comfortable and welcomed. Thank you so much for sharing your country with us.

The trip was wonderful. Without exception, every experience we had with the drivers, the guides, the reps... they were all flawless. Each time we arrived in a new location - we immediately spotted our name and were taken directly to the hotel. Everyone was so nice and helpful! I really can't stress enough that the logistics of the entire trip were just perfect. It made the whole experience stress-free and so enjoyable.

The hotels were great (my favorite was the Ellysium in Mykonos - just for the pool alone!). The hotel in Istanbul had problems with the Air Conditioning on our last night there. It broke down, but they gave us a fan which helped a lot.

The flights and ferrys were all great. Thank you so much for your assistance in making this trip so memorable. I would be happy to be a reference anytime - thank you again!


Best,

We will be back.

Thank You,

Gold Family- USA

We had a wonderful time in Turkey. The logistics went very well, and we were picked up at all of the airports and at the hotels on time, except for the trip to \parmakale, when the tour bus was late. However, the young man who met us at the hotel that day was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of good information with us, in addition to ironing out all of the arrangements. He was excellent. . We enjoyed all of the tours. The tour guide we had for Epheuses and Pergamon was outstanding. The guide for Parmakale was less informative; and the bus driver that day had an instance of road rage, which we thought was very irresponsible, given that he had about 20 people on the tour bus. The tour guide for the second day of Cappodochia (the underground city) was also outstanding.

The three hotels worked very well for us. The air flights also worked very well.

Thank you for making this such a wonderful vacation for us.

Dear Cenan -
I am glad to be able to provide my comments. The first thing I would do differently is to eliminate the travel agent as intermediary and I would deal directly with MyTurkeyTours. The travel agent was not needed and, in fact, turned out to be a problem.

My husband and I began our time in Turkey on July 1 with a visit to our new in-laws in Turunc. Before we left the United States, our travel agent told us nothing about contacting you before our brief tour was to begin on July 9. We were told we'd be picked up at our designated hotel, The Kybele, at 5:30am on the morning of July 9. We weren't very smart to leave the US with only that directive and, as July 9 drew closer, we thought we should try to make contact with MyTurkeyTours. Our hotel helped us track down your number (not easy, actually) and we talked with you, Cenan. I believe my husband said you were in Canada at the time. You said you had been trying to reach us, a small party of 5, staying at The Kybele, and that our travel agent had been instructed to tell us to check in with you several days prior to our tour. We received neither message. So, you were a little frantic and we were a little frantic. But once we made contact with you, everything fell into place. Within half an hour, Gulay (Rosie) appeared at our hotel with tickets and instructions. She was completely competent, efficient, helpful and reassuring. We were picked up at our hotel at 5am on July 9 and taken to the airport where we flew to Izmir. There, we were met by Yeliz Gedik and our driver. Yeliz became our "face of Turkey". All five of us fell in love with her. She was warm, funny, an infinite store of knowledge. On our mini-van ride to the site, she prepared us for what we were to see in Ephesus that day. And, once there, she guided us skillfully through the extensive site, being careful to find shade where there was some, talking, talking, talking the whole time. She was eager for and interested in our questions. She seemed to thrive on interaction. We just loved her. Ephesus was truly amazing. We will go back. There's so much more to see and to learn. But we were exhausted by the end of our tour day and grateful for a day of rest between Ephesus and Pamukkale. After Ephesus, we called Gulay on her cell phone (a nice contact to have) and requested Yeliz as our guide for Pamukkale. The idea of a day of rest between two intense tour days came from a comment on your web site so we had decided to heed their advice. Unfortunately, I got sick on the rest day and was not well enough for the Pamukkale trip. You'll have to rely on the accounts of the other 4 of our party who did make the trip. The Carisma Hotel was certainly everything one could have wanted in a five star hotel. Very luxurious, fine rooms, fabulous breakfasts, gorgeous setting. For me, it lacked soul. It had lots of sleek chrome and mirrors but was devoid of personality. We preferred our more colorful, funky Istanbul hotel, the Kybele. The Carisma, however, was a very comfortable place to recover from illness (except that the personnel at the front desk would not allow my husband to bring me liquids brought from outside the hotel, an odd and irritation and unwelcome approach to a sick person). At the end of the Pamukkale day, Yeliz made a point of coming to say goodbye to me. We had a heartfelt and warm attachment. I was very grateful for her expertise and her lovely personality. We have already recommended both MyTurkeyTours and Yeliz to other friends and relatives. The next morning, our driver picked us up at the Carisma at the exact appointed time, took us to the Izmir airport where we flew back to Istanbul. In Istanbul, we were picked up by one of your drivers and taken back to The Kybele. Gulay called us to make sure everything had gone well. We couldn't be happier with your organization. It was beautifully run, totally reliable and had intelligent and competent staff throughout. A complete pleasure to deal with.
You have our gratitude and our loyalty. I'm sure we will contact you when planning future trips to Turkey.
Sincerely, Sally Bowie

Cenan and all, sorry for the delay in providing your feedback, things have been very busy upon my return, which is why i enjoyed my relaxing visit to turkey so much! i had a wonderful trip! i can't thank you enough for organizing the tour for the specific days that i could take for holidays. it was refreshing to meet different people on the different tours every few days. there was always a driver to meet me at the airport, they were all very friendly and spoke good English, and arrived mostly on time for the trips from the hotel to the airport. the hotels were all very modern, clean, and comfortable; and especially the polat beach hotel in kusadasi was excellent with the pool and the beach. all of the guides were excellent, their knowledge of history and cultures and traditions is amazing, and they all had a good sense of humor which was nice on the long trips. all of the food was fantastic, so many fresh fruits and vegetables at every stop. i have already recommended "my turkey tours" to several people, and will continue to do so. thanks for a really great vacation. with best regards, kate dwyer

We really enjoyed our tour in Turkey. The hotel staff in Istanbul was very helpful and we were overall very pleased with our time there. (Transfers were very punctual as well.) For the second leg of our tour we were in Ephesus and Pamukkale. Our hotel was nice. Our tour guide was exceptional. Turgut was very informative and was by far the best guide we had. Our stay in Cappadocia was fine. The management at the hotel was a bit odd however. In addition the tour guide did not seem overly enthusiastic. Overall however we were very pleased with our tour and would kindly spread the word. Thanks

We found every aspect of our trip outstanding. The pick-ups were timely. The tour guides were knowledgeable, timely and professional. The sites were spectacular. The Kismet Hotel was adequate and clearly needs updating of its facilities. The Museum Hotel was excellent with a fine restaurant although we found the cave room somewhat small and claustrophobic, but that was our choice.

All in all, a great trip. Feel free to use us as a reference. Thanks for all your help.

We enjoyed our trip to Turkey very much. Your local agent, Gulay Konal at MedHills Travel was very helpful and made some last minute changes to the reservations that were uselful. All the people we met in Turkey were very friendly. The Turkish food was very good. The highlights of the trip for us were Istanbul, Ephesus, Aphrodisias, Bodrum, Turtle Beach, Oludeniz, Cappadocia, and Sanliurfa/Harran.

The best hotels were:
Altin Yunus in Cesme
Nisanyan in Sirince -- outstanding
Richmond in Pamukkale
Queen Ada in Bodrum -- outstanding
Bararossa in Kas -- outstanding
Alp Pasa in Antalya
Esbelli Cave in Cappadocia —outstanding

The Poseidon Hotel in Marmaris had very small rooms and was very noisy. Marmaris is the one place we could have skipped altogether on the trip.

The Zeus hotel in Kahta was also very noisy and impossible to get much sleep before the very early departure for Mt Nemrut.

Sincerely,
Herbert Becker

Out trip was PERFECT

There was never a problem with transports, the tours or times.

The Hotels were in great locations.

The one Hotel we had a problem with, your rep found us a wonderful place w/out a problem.

I have been telling every one how satisfied we were at the attention to detail and the timing and reliability of everyone involve in the tour. THE BEST was our guide at Ephesus-she was AWESOME!!!!

Thanks so much for an amazing vacation

We fell in love with Greece and Turkey

Rose Bay on Santorini was THE BEST!!

Iyi aksamlar Cenan, and Ms. Gulay Konal,

I was pleased to hear from Cenan and I must admit that I’d anticipated your request for feedback. We’ve now had plenty of time to reflect on the trip and in summary Marlene and I are very pleased with the package you provided and we are particularly happy with the execution. In the dialog below I will mention specific names and I would ask that this not be provided to other prospective clients but only used internally by Medhills or MyTurkeyTours.

I’ve commented in the past about how pleased we were to be met promptly at every airport and bus exchange. In particular Sami was absolutely reliable. Although our bus was delayed from Canakkale to Istanbul, he was there politely waiting. As I recall it was a Sunday evening and I know he would have preferred to be with his family but he was only concerned about our needs.

We were not disappointed with any of the Accommodations. Of course Dersaadet Hotel and Elkep Evi were particularly nice. Although I think both are out of your network I would recommend these without hesitation. In both cases the staff was particularly generous. Did I mention Cemil at Dersaadet? He is quite the gentleman. Of course El Ruha was also very nice and the location was a treat. We found the Zeus in Kahta to be reasonable and the breakfast was good. To be honest we arrived late so we did not get much of a feel for the facility or the neighborhood. Oh, we felt quite comfortable on the streets in every city we visited.

In Selcuk we of course stayed at the Kalehan Hotel and again the staff, Dilek Ekmen and a gentleman whose name I did not record, were very pleasant. Of course the room here was more modest than the other properties, but it was consistently clean. It did however have a number if items which needed repair. The location was good and we found multiple restaurants in easy reach. You might promote the close proximity of the Temple of Artemis, the Byzantine Gateway, and the Basilica of St. John. It would have been a treat to enter the citadel on Ayasouluk hill. We thought that if we had bicycles there we could have done Ephesus, Mary’s house and even Kusadasi easily. I liked that it did not have the glitz present in Kusadasi.

We were of course pleased when met, on time, at the airport in Ismir, and the shuttle to Selcuk was very quick. During that ride I asked if our guide, I have his name here but I won’t specifically mention him, could arrange an evening trip to Kusadasi but he hesitated and indicated that we should work through you. All that is ok. Then just before he left us in the lobby, after providing some good advice, he offered to get us to Kusadasi for 40E. We didn’t really understand the neighborhood and fortunately we declined. As I mentioned, the staff of the Kalehan Hotel were very helpful and they provided us a walking map so we took a local bus to Kusadasi for 14.40YTL round trip, two persons. I mention this not to impune the gentleman, nor were we offended because we have an obligation to be smart too, but simply to illustrate what you already know. You’re success is dependent on the quality of the sub-contractors. I believe we mentioned the fine French guide that shared our coach to Pamukkale and Hierapolis which was so engaging for those who spoke French. Unfortunately, Fazul?, while light-hearted, was not particularly informative. Given the long trip on this day and the limited time available to actually visit the alternatives this is a segment that could be skipped.

The two guides at the top of our list are Yelis who presented Ephesus and Nurullah who took us to Pergamum. Yelis was very detailed and did a particularly good job of moving us around the crush of visitors and presenting a cohesive overview of the history. She had to juggle a couple of groups with different itineraries and managed this with good success. If I could have arranged it I would have liked to arrive at the moment it opened and stay until it closed, and I wish there was but one group to minimize the overhead.

Nurulllah Galiskan was our guide to our second most favorite spot in Turkey, Pergamum. What a spectacular venue and he made a terrific effort to show us every detail. He even purchased a multicolor transparency to help use understand. After lunch and an hour in the local museum (our choice) the hand off at the bus station went well.

Again we were met promptly in Canakkale by Ali Ihsan Sidar and taken to the opulent Kolin Hotel. This room was just great and the view was spectacular. I hope you have the opportunity to stay here one day as well. We found the meals had a lot of variety so that was all good. The only down side to this hotel is the high cost of all the amenities like exercise and pool. We chose to just walk instead.

Ok, there is a third guide at the top of our list. Aukut Degre provided a very rich history of the period leading up to WWI through Turkish independence. This was a kind of a clumsy day because we were hustled over to the peninsula early in the morning but we then sat for a couple of hours as we waited for the tour to start. We were given bag lunches but these were not so great and we hand no opportunity to eat once the tour began. I’m surprised that we were not just served before the tour up on the top floor of the facility. Having said that, the tour was just great! It ran to nearly sunset and Aukut was able to really connect with the young Australians and New Zealanders that were in our group. I pressed him on history and politics and he was wonderfully balanced and candid. I learned rather a lot from this gentleman. My only regret is that we emphasized the ANZAC forces and I have a strong interest in the Turkish perspective as well. Another trip!

We found Troy a good half day trip and worth the effort but it was clear that Marlene and I were add-on’s to another group’s trip. I’m afraid that their experience was cut short by the need to pick us up and drop us off. Our guide here, a tall young man who simply used the name John was not particularly enthusiastic, but I can appreciate the routine must be tedious. I’d like to spend more time here.

What I’ve not mentioned was the trip to Nemrut Dagi. Ms. Gulay was absolutely correct; it was the highlight of the trip. Our favorite photo is one of Marlene taking a photo of about a dozen young women as the sun rose. It was a long trip but one of the great memories of our lives. You might explore alternatives to CEM tours for this leg of an itinerary. The guide was not very experienced and there were two restaurants which we visited twice. Did I tell you what a beautiful country you have?

I know that each of your sub-contractors has an obligation to present the tour groups to local artisans and we are glad to acquire some special knowledge. Perhaps one of the disadvantages of independent travel is that it is difficult to manage the number of events so there is some redundancy. Marlene and I visited two ceramic shops, two jewelry shops, two rug fabricators, and a leather goods shop. We managed to beg off on one other similar event in Selcuk thanks to Yelis. Each of these merchants was very hospitable with the exception of the leather goods shop in Istanbul which I found offensive. Much of our group was older than I at age 60+ but they were presented with a fashion show that target twenty-somethings. The music was sufficiently loud that several of the guests covered their ears. When the fashion show was completed several wanted to simply find a way to the sunshine but the merchant attempted to intimidate us by saying it would be rude for us to leave without joining him in tea. While I fully respect the generosity of the Turkish culture I, and others, found this particular venue over-bearing.

The morning we visited Bircik we had a moment to step over to the Euphrates. It occurred to us that it would have been fun to have a brunch picnic adjacent to a nice part of the river…perhaps near Ataturk Dam.

Ms. Gulay. I hope that you continue to visit with each client after their arrival. This conversation was likely more valuable than you realize. Thank you.

Well, I’m about out of gas but I would again like to express my thanks for a very memorable visit. Marlene and I speak highly of the fantastic sights, most of which I’ve not mentioned, and the very pleasant people we met. I can only hope that Cenan receives the same kind of respect here as we received in Turkey…..but I fear not.


Tesekkur ederim.

It is hard to believe that we have been back from our trip for nearly 2 weeks. I had intended to sit down every day since and send you a note, but had so much to say so it has taken me a bit to gather my thoughts.

First of all we wanted to tell you what a wonderful trip we had. We loved Greece, but Turkey was phenomenal. I had been wanting to go to Turkey for 20 years since I had heard of Efes, but everything about Turkey: the geography, the art, the culture, the history, the seaside, the mountains, the food, and the hospitality of nearly every person we encountered in Turkey surpassed all of my expectations.

Aside from the 2 small matters to which you attended quickly and helpfully from long distance, everything was great. We were impressed with how seamless the arrangements were. We smiled with delight every time we were met at our new destination (even at 2:00 in the morning!) and picked up at our hotel on time for the next thing on our itinerary. We were so pleased with the organization of the trip and the selection of things on the tours. I also went on the balloon ride in Cappadoccia and loved every second of it.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our tour guides in Yediz in Pamukale and the gentleman (I regret I cannot remember his name) in Istanbul, as well as the driver Ali who was our driver from the time we landed in Marmaris until we left out of Izmere. Yediz and our Istanbul guide were outstanding and really made the history come alive. If there is any way to let them know, we would appreciate it.

The staffs at all of the hotels were gracious and helpful and the location of each hotel was perfect. We were always right in the heart of the place we wanted to be. We particularly loved the the Blue Hills in Istanbul and Giramsu in Cappadoccia . I laughed with utter delight when we opened the door in our cave hotel to find such a beautiful room with traditional Turkish decorations. It was wonderful.

We are looking forward to returning to Turkey and exploring more and we thank you again for everything.

Regards, Dev & Joseph

We are back and still buzzing with the wonder of Turkey and its people. Thank you for putting together a varied and well-paced tour for me and Richard. The time in Konya was meaningful for both of us and having tickets to the Mevlana Festival at the cultural center was one of the highlights of our trip. Cappadocia and Izmir are so rich with history and natural wonders that we felt dazzled and well informed by the guides who took us through these places.

Please let the staff know again how delighted we are with your group of workers. We shall certainly recommend your help and organization to friends who wish to visit your unique country.

Sincerely, Leclanche & Richard

Rosie, we had a great trip. Turkey has enormous variety and beauty combined with a rich history. The airlines provide something to eat on short flights which doesn't happen in this country. However, the greatest part of a very nice experience was the Turkish people - they were great!

The hotels were top notch. During our first stay at the Seven Hills, the view from our room of the Blue Mosque and Highia-Sophia was stunning. If you had a part in landing us that room, we thank you very much. Hisar Evi is a delight - wonderful location within an interesting little town, and Ismail is a charmer. The Charisma is a fine hotel with a very friendly staff and fine seaside fish restaurant next door. Alp Pasa was a good choice, Cenan. The Antalya area is a lovely part of the world.

The choice of sites visited was good. We appreciated the flexibility of rearranging Day - 8 (Pirenne-Miletus-Dityma) in favor of Sirince and Tire. We also appreciated the chance to see Parmukkale during the long drive from Kusadasi to Antalya. One thing that should be reviewed is doing the Pergamum tour from Kusadasi. It's a killer! Going through Izmir twice in one day is too exhausting and unnerving.

Our guides - Nilgun Kirman, Fatih Cakaci, Harun Yildirim and Ismet Turan were all very well informed and courteous. We were especially impressed with Fatih, who has the soul of a poet, and Ismet who is charming and erudite in a good way. He and I had fun talking about the Roman Empire. One thing guides need to avoid is over use of the cell phone which Nilgun did somewhat and Harun, who is very likable, did in spades. Believe he had some personal issues going on at the time.

The overall coordination was generally good. We did become a bit anxious about receiving our electronic flight tickets before flying on to the Kayseri-Izmir-Antalya part of our tour. Also, in Antalya, Ismet did not learn for sure that he was to be our guide until 8:00 PM (18:00) the night before. Since I was uncertain when we were going to be taken to the Antalya airport, I called Mehmet Yildiz and arranged the pick-up time.

It was a wonderful experience! Thanks to you Cenan for helping us get to Turkey, and thanks to you Rosie for taking good care of us after we arrived. I especially appreciate your help in reaching the Bank of America in New York late on a Friday afternoon after an ATM machine ate my ATM card.

Hopefully this answers most of the questions on your Tour Feedback Form. We would confidentally recommend a Commegene tour to our friends. Thanks to you both for a fine travel experience.

Best Regards, Mary & Dave Shaw

We arrived home on Friday night very tired from the long travel day but VERY happy with our trip. On behalf of the Gilleses and my
husband and myself: thank you very very much! With the exception of the misunderstanding on the Santorini tour and
an hour + delay in being met in Athens - everything else went extremely well. All our contacts were very welcoming and available
for information if we needed them, the tours were very good (the last one in Istanbul our guide was not good and sullen, but oh well!), our hotels were great (actually the only one we were disappointed in the room was the one in Rhodes -- my request! Be assured that if I have the opportunity to refer you to anyone who is traveling to Greece or Turkey your name will be given to them.

Sincerely in gratitude.

Merhaba and Good Morning Rozi and Kommegene Travel staff!

You have really made our first trip to Turkey a most wonderful and unforgettable experience. We sincerely thank you, your staff, your professional private guides, your regional representatives and all of your hotel staff for this. Travel by plane was excellent, allowing us the time to visit various areas separated by great distance. Tesekkur ederim.

We especially thank the Blue Hills Hotel staff in Istanbul who were most professional, helpful and attentive. This hotel was very comfortable and the location was excellent, as we strolled through the Hippodrome and the gardens of the Blue Mosque on our daily outings.

Your Cappadocia arrangements were perfect. The Hisar Evi Cave Hotel and the excellent staff there certainly added to our enjoyment of this ancient area, together with the high quality tours and personally-guided valley trekking.

Best of luck to you as you continue to develop your excellent travel business. We look forward to meeting you all again, as we consider our three weeks with you, just the first of our visits to Turkey.

Dear Cenan,

Just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time in "your country".

Thank you for all you did to help us have such a good experience. It was a very informative trip for me, to actually see how the West meets East in one city, and to feel the history that is still visible in so many areas.

Thank you.
Evangeline, for all of us

We loved everything that the tours brought to us! Turkey was full of never ending surprises made all the time enjoyable by our excellent tour guides on each place and staff too, provided outstanding level of service! Thank you My Turkey Tours and everyone for a lifetime of wonderful memories.

 

Ms. Alicia Rodgers - USA

This tour has been exceptional to date and excellent value for money. The guides and drivers have been excellent in both Istanbul and Cappadocia. They are very professional, their knowledge amazes us. The tour we took was a private tour, it was much cheaper than with other tour groups but the quality of the service has been exceptional value for money.
