Dear Tugrul,
About 3 weeks ago, my husband, Dave, and I had a wonderful 6 hour tour including lunch at Sleeping Brothers with a guide and driver from your agency. 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. Thank you very much for whatever assistance you can be and again we thank you for making our tour of Ephesus the highlight of our trip. Sincerely, Jacki O'Harra, 01.10.2007 |

The jeep safari was fun, climbing was diffucult we were not prepared-shoeswise-we didn't get any note. The guides were nice & made it more exciting.
Would like to have seen more nature & wild life, a lot of riding in jeep. The cave was a lot of fun & refreshing. Thank you for a fun morning/afternoon. Haan Family, 01.08.2007 |

This has been extreme pleasure to have spent nearly three days with you while we stayed in Izmir. We visited the lost city of Ephesus,
Artemis Temple (fortunately to have visited this really) Pottery making, silk weaving etc. etc. on day 1. Wow! that's amazing - isn't it? Day 2 was a long drive to Pamukkale and we were amazed to have been able to walk past the calcium deposits brought over by running water - unimaginable life to be there. Thermal bath was a real hot experience. Izmir city tour was the third day of our stay. It is a wonderful town blending new and old cultures culminating into wonderful traditions of hospitality. We (self,wife & doughter) had enjoyable time loved bread-so smooth and flavoured- were thrilled and come back again. Tugrul is very well trained and excellent guide. He is very personable and fantastic friend to have. Serkan has been excellent helpful all of us. We're fortunate to have them with us. They did a great job. Thanks to them. thanks Izmir + Turkey. We love you all. Jasbindra, Oman, Shell, 29.07.2007, |

Hi Tugrul, Just got back from our trip. The time on the boat was fantastic.
The people were very nice and the trip most interesting. Saw lots of ruins and other interesting things in both Greece and Turkey. I just want to thank you for guiding us. It was really a great day. Possible the most fun we had on the whole trip. I wrote to Shirin at STyle telling here what a great guide you are. Hopefully we will meet again. If you come to the US please let us know. We would love to see you. We wish you much success Thanks again Jane Jane Rivkin, Amagansett, New York, U.S.A., 09.07.2007 |

To Whom It may Concern,
On behalf of my family : Jesse, Courtney, Liene and me, I would like to extend my appreciation to the Kusadasi Travel Agency and its staff for the wonderful vacation we had in Turkey. From the time we arrived in Kusadasi until we left we were treated very well. I would like to especially acknowledge the services of Tugrul Sokmen and Muge who served as our tour guides. Their knowledge of the area is extensive and they shared so many good stories with us. We will never forget their kindness to us! It is indeed rare to go on tours with guides who have such in-depth knowledge of the history and culture of the region. We would also like to thank Emre Ates who wanted us to have a good time and continuously asked what else we wanted to do. We would also thank our drivers Ali and Ahmet for their professionalism and expertise to guarantee us a safe journey! I, and my family are so appreciative of the wonderful memories we will keep from our trip to your beautiful country of Turkey. I can’t wait to return!! Respectfully, Billie Miller, Coral Springs, FL.

To Whom it May Concern:
We are at the end of our tour, and I wish to let you know that we absolutely are thrilled to have had some days here in Turkey with Turul. He was professional, intelligent, knowledgeable, and fun to be with. Both Katherine and I have had a wonderful time here with him and we learned quite a bit. I will absolutely recommend your agency, and Turul in particular, whenever colleagues and friends come to Turkey. Thank you, and kindly give Turul our regards and sincerest thanks.

Many thanks to Kusadasi Tours for making our one day in Turkey a truly wonderful experience. Our every need was met with a smile and our expert guide Tugrul Sokmen was so well informed and personable.
He has endless knowledge and great a sense of humor. You will be in good hands with him and Kusadasi Tours. The Mercedes Benz van was an excellent vehicle and very cool and comfortable. Five Stars !! Robin Holland, Chillicothe OH, USA, 12.06.2007 |

John Arin Hasan and Tugrul
We had a wonderful time in Turkey and appreciate all that you did for us. We are sorry we were not able to connect with you John and Arin directly, but we tried very hard. We did visit the Potters House in Cappadocia and met Arins helper (What was his name again?) Tugrul was our tour guide in Kusadasi and we had a great time with him. He went out of his way for us. He did tell us that he was studying to learn more about Christian beliefs for his tourism business. I told him that I would get with you and see if you might have a good Bible reference that he could have. Perhaps a Turkish/English one. Hasan was our tour guide in Cappadocia and we stayed at his Canon View cave hotel in Goreme. It was great and he and his family and friends were good hosts and guides. We bought a carpet from him as well. All our Turkish friends said that we got a good price. We should have bought more. We also went on a fantastic balloon ride with him. We put some pictures on the web at: http://photoshow.comcast.net/john.anderson36/ If you can help us fill in any of the titles, that would be great. I may get with you Hasan and Tugrul for more details. Thanks again. We hope we get to come back and visit Turkey again. There was much more we should have seen and done.
