Hi,
We just wanted to let you know what a wonderful tour and tour guide we had on our recent trip to Turkey. Six of us arrived on the Splendour of the Seas on July 24 and we were met by Nadia (Naciye) Otar. She was informative, funny and a wonderful person. We had a great time with her and would highly recommend her and your company to anyone going to Turkey. Taking a private tour with you was the best way to see the sights!

Shelley and I had a excellent tour of Esphesus with your wonderfull Professional Guide "Nadia". We felt our time and money
was well spent. We couldn't have asked for a better guide or driver and the vehicle was very comfortable. We will definately
recommend Samyeli Travel to other friends who are planning to go to Turkey.

Mehmet,
Greetings from Kettering, OH, USA!
First of all, I would like to thank you for your clear, quick and timely information that you provided throughout the entire process. We planned many private tours on this trip, all of which were recommended through the Cruise Critic Web Site, including yours. I appreciated your extra efforts in putting Sheila and I in touch with the Greshams for this private tour, as well. Thank you!
Of all the tours that we took , in Istanbul, Kusadasi, Athens, Rhodes, Naples, Rome and Venice - it was Samyeli Travel that FAR EXCEEDED our expectations and provided super customer service, quality arrangements and VALUE for the price paid. Not only did Samyeli Travel deliver everything that was promised, but everyone went out of their way to ensure we had a terrific experience.
The cleanliness of the van provided, the professionalism of the driver and the knowledge and personality of our guide were OUTSTANDING!!! As soon as we settle down and have time to right our review and submit it to the Cruise Critic website, you can be confident that Samyeli Travel will include our highest praise!
Mehmet, we had an unfortunate experience at the end of our trip, my luggage and camera bag were stolen from the train at Roma Termini, other wise it would have been my pleasure to provide you with photos of our tour and guide.
Feel free to use these comments as a recommendation of your services, and should someone want to contact me personally, I would be more than happy to do so.
Please extend a warm thank you to everyone who made our excursion and private tour a very memorable experience!!
Take care, November 27, 2006
Karen Thomas,
Hello Mehmet
We enjoyed our tour with Cengiz very much. He was very knowledgable and educated. His English was good. We feel as if we got a very good history lesson on our trip to Ephesus. The lunch we enjoyed in the garden of the Ceramic School was very enjoyable and it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere of the 'real' Turkey. October 07, 2006
Thomas & Nancy Schwab
Dear Mehmet,
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our private Ephesus tour on November 5, 2006. This was a private custom tour for just the two of us that actually cost less that a similar group tour offered by Princess Cruises. We were met by our guide on the dock as soon as we disembarked from the Golden Princess. The car was immaculate and spacious and we had a very good driver in addition to our guide. Our guide spoke very good English and was very interesting and informative about Ephesus, the Terrace Houses, Temple of Artemis, and the Basilica of St. John. We found the Terrace Houses especially interesting and are glad that we included them in our custom tour. We had a tasty buffet lunch at a very nice restaurant that also had very clean restrooms.
The other part of our tour that was surprisingly educational and interesting was a visit to a Turkish Carpet cooperative school and showroom. We enjoyed our Turkish coffee while we were shown a variety of carpets after watching a weaving demonstration. There was absolutely no pressure to buy. We had contacted four other tour companies on the web and found the best combination of service and price from Samyeli Travel. November 5, 2006
Marylin Reed
Dear Mehmet,
We absolutely loved our tour of Ephesus with "Nadia" on October 25th! She was delightful, and we truly enjoyed the day with her. She was very knowledgeable about Turkey & about Ephesus, and it made the Ephesus tour so interesting to have her guide us through it and explain things. She was a lot of fun, and we would highly recommend her to anyone considering one of your tours. The Ephesus tour was our favorite stop on the entire cruise. As soon as I get a chance, I will write a review on tripadvisor.com and recommend your company. Thank you for your excellent service. I will try to forward some pictures in the next few weeks. Sincerely. October 25, 2006
Nick Nickerson
Hello Mehmet,
We had a great tour of Ephesus with Or your guide. He was very informative and even spend extra time with us. His knowledge of Ephesus was amazing. We would highly recommend him to anyone who wanted to learn the history of Ephesus. Thanks... October 23, 2006
Patricia Schmied
Hi Mehmet,
We took 5 tours indipendently from our cruise. This was by for the best! Nadia was wanderfully informative and fun. Her language skills were wanderfull. We enjoyed her very much. This was the highlight of our cruise!. WANDERFUL! THANK YOU! October 12, 2006
James Fulter
Dear Mehmet,
We thoroughly enjoyed both tours arranged for us and the tour guides in both Istanbul and Ephesus were knowledgeable and personable. The vehicles provided were clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed the meals at the two venues selected for us.We will be pleased to recommend your services. October 03 - 04, 2006

Dear Mehmet,
I want to comment Samyeli Travel for the very fine tour we had on Saturday October 7, 2006. I will recommend Samyeli Travel and I hope to do another tour with you someday. Our guide, Fusun, was delightful, knowledgeable, and very patient with our many questions. I believe the driver was Recep. He was also very good. We appreciate the quality of your service. Thank you, again. October 7, 2006
Linda Brasseal
Hi Mehmet,
We absolutely loved your service and Nadia was perfect for us! She was great at Ephesus and Artemis temple and also back in town. When I get a chance to come back and see more of Turkey, I will certainly call upon your services again. July 16, 2006
Lori Seaton
Dear Mehmet,
Thank you for your e-mail. Bill and I greatly enjoyed our tour of Ephesus, Temple of Artemis and The Virgin Mary House. Everything about it was perfect. Ibrahim and our driver were promptly waiting for us at the airport and it was a blessing to have comfortable, air-conditioned ransportation waiting for us. They were both very friendly and entertaining tour guides. Ibrahim was very knowledgeable about the history of the beautiful sites we visited and we felt as though we were getting inside information that other visitors were missing out on. They dropped us off at the front door of the hotel we stayed at in Kusadasi and recommended a restaurant for dinner. It was all a great experience and a highlight of our whole trip. Sunday July 23, 2006
Maureen McCracken
Dear Mehmet,
We had an incredible vacation last month that included 7 countries—and we look back on our time in Turkey as a highlight of the trip. We credit that to our guide Denis—who taught us more about the history of the area in one day then we would have learned in a semester at school. We were also made to feel incredibly welcome—and for that reason we look forward to returning to Turkey again in the future. Thank you for an amazing day to remember! We would highly reccomend Samyeli Travel to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for providing such a wonderful service! August 25, 2006
Vaveine Teves
Hi Mehmet,
Thank you for arranging our Ephesus, House of Virgin Mary and Temple of Artemis tour. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide, Nadia, and driver, Necdet, were excellent. Nadia gave a wonderful tour. We learned a lot about Ephesus, and Turkey as well. Hopefully, we would be able to visit your country again someday. August 16, 2006

Mehmet,
We have now returned from our cruise and would like to thank you for an excellent tour of Ephesus. Gengis was a great guide and we will recommend your services to anyone we know making a similar trip. August 25, 2006
Robert Eiseman
Hi Mehmet (James),
We (5 adults & 5 children) had a terrific guide (Hassan) and were amazed at the knowledge and the desire to detail this knowledge by him. He truly was fun to be with, yet maintained a sense of professionalism. He mentioned he had toured with school groups and therefore was perfect for our mixed aged group.
As for the value of the dollar paid, fantastic. Excursions offered by the cruise line were either shorter or much more expensive than what we paid per person. A birthday cake was even arranged for my daughter without any asking. We could have hoped for nothing better other than more time to spend visiting Kusadasi & Ephesus. August 02, 2006
Kay Dixon
Dear Mehmet,
I hope this email comes to you OK. All of us agree that the tours with Cengis and you were the best part of our cruise! Our tours with your company, 2 days in Istanbul and 1 day in Kusadasi, were the high-point of our cruise. Your customized service made it possible for the 18 members of our family group to enjoy touring together. Everything we saw was wonderful and we are excited to have you arrange a longer land tour to see a larger area. Thank you so much! July 6 and 7 in Istanbul, July 9 in Kusadasi
Best Wishes, Kay Dixon

Dear Mehmet,
Samyeli Travel will get great reviews from me. Your company was very efficient, had clean vehicles, good drivers, and knowledgable and friendly guides. I would recommend Samyeli Travel to anybody visiting Turkey.
The only regret I have is that we couldn't stay in your beautiful country for a longer time. I hope someday to go back again. June 10, 2006
Debbie Broeckling
Dear Mehmet,
Our tour and tour guide was outstanding. We had the most wonderful time. We especially enjoyed going to Sirrence. It may have been the highlight of our trip. I can't wait to enjoy the peach wine we bought there.
Thanks again for your great service and follow-up. I would not hesitate recommending your company to anyone going to Turkey.
Looking forward to doing it again (maybe not real soon, but some day). June 19, 2006
Debra Tucker
Hi Mehmet,
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The guide was well informed and provided very good details. He made Ephesus come alive for us. It was one of the highlights of our cruise. The vehicle was in excellent condition and quite comfortable. Considering the personal nature and the big cost savings over the the cruise ship’s excursions we would highly recommend Samyeli Travel to anyone stopping in Kusadasi. They were a pleasure to work with and were very timely in their responses. June 09, 2006
Larry Barker
Dear Mehmet,
The trip was excellent. Tour guide was well informed and insured we enjoyed the experience. Thanks from all four of us. August 25, 2006

Dear Mehmet,
Our tour was fantastic - guide (I forget her name) was wonderful, very friendly and knowledgable. We were very pleased with your email responses, the meeting at the port, driver, van and guide. You do a great job. Keep it up!! I'll be in contact again should I happen to return to your lovely country. May 17, 2006

Hello Mehmet,
Our private tour was excellent. Our guide Ebru was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The highlight of our tour was the trip to Sincere and the visit to the house of one of the local people. Sharo was an excellent driver and we always felt safe. I have included a couple of our pictures for you. April 26, 2006
Thank you and Kindest regards

We had a wonderful time in Ephesus! Our guide was Wonderful!! Lunch was terrific!!! She was very knowledgeable and very nice. We highly recommend her. The vechicle as great and we had a very nice time.
Thank you again. April 21, 2006
Brad Craven
The tour that you provided exceeded our expectations in every way. Indeed, it was the highlight of the entire 10 day cruise/tour for most of our participants. The guiding, transportation, and features of the tour were superb. We want to return to your country! My group loved the stop at the carpet factory and cheerfully dropped $20,000 in 90 minutes. I hope that we will be able to use your services in the future for a deeper look at Turkey. April 24, 2006
Bette Davis
Dear Mehmet,
We were surprised to have both a driver and a tour guide. They were both excellent and were waiting for us as we left the ship. Sedat was so informative and since he is an English teacher, of course he was very easy to understand. He was so accommodating, letting us go at our pace and stop for pictures whenever we wanted. The schedule was great, the car was very comfortable, and lunch was delicious. I also want to thank you for being so good to deal with and so prompt in answering my questions while I was planning the trip.
I notice you have updated the prices of the tours on your website. The tour is still a bargain at the new prices and I would highly recommend it and your company. When we saw the big groups of people following the flag around on the Princess tours, we knew how lucky we were to have a private tour. In a few days when things settle down here, I will be posting comments on some of the forums. If we are lucky enough to return to Turkey someday, I will want to book more tours with you.
The only suggestion I could offer is to make it clear on the web page tour description that the price includes both a driver and a guide; I think it would be a selling point.
Thanks again. May 09, 2006
Tom Straker
Our Ephesus Tour was excellent and very professional. Our tour guide Nilay was very knowledgeable. We had a great tour and enjoyed it very much. April 30, 2006

Hey,
I just wanted to thank you for the excursion. What a fun experience.
We were very impressed with Samyeli Travel on our excursion of Ephesus. The bus was air conditioned and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. With a group of about 45 individuals including a lot of children they allowed flexibility in the time at each place. I highly recommend an excursion with them. April 09, 2006
Mark & Patrica
Dear Mehmet,

Samyeli Travel to anyone who is traveling to Turkey.

“This tour was well organized and we were met at the port and accompanied to our buses. Ephesus was amazing and I never thought it would cover as much space as it did. I am glad we took the option to do the Sirince Village tour as well as this was well worth it and there was plenty of free time to look around and browse the small markets” 2005
