Hi Tugrul and Emre,
We cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our day with Emre. 
He has a wonderful personality to provide just the right amount of information needed. 
The car was comfortable and everything was great.  I have recommemded you to a friend. 
Thank you so much,   Sue  November 28, 2009 

Ruth and Gene Ciranni  November 11, 2009  

We also remember what a wonderful visit we had in your country in October. Your tour guides were excellent. We learned so much about the history of the area and enjoyed every minute of our time there. Thank you very much!

Hi Emre,
I apologize for the delayed thank-you.  We had the pleasure of touring Kusadasi with you last fall; October 5.  You gave us a most educational and enjoyable day; seeing the house of the Virgin Mary, Ephesus and Terrace Houses, the carpet factory and your recommended jewellery shop in town. 
Indeed, you are a most inspirational tour guide who made history come alive with your passion and stories.  We truly appreciated the personalized service you and your driver provided us with.
I have attached a few photos of our day.  We will always treasure our memories of Kusadasi and time with you.  Please feel free to use these photos in any advertising you wish. 
I have recommended your tour to friends who are planning upcoming visits to Kusadasi.
Thank-you once again,
Sincerely,
Elizabeth and Keith MacIsaac            24.12.2009

Yesterday we arrived home from a wonderful trip to Italy, Greece, Turkey and the Ukraine. 
It was a memorable trip in many ways, but the best parts were the two days that we toured with our guide Tugrul!  He met us promptly at the ship and began an informative and exciting tour of the Ephesus area giving us the history then bringing us up to date.  His English was excellent, his energy level very high.  It was wonderful how he sorted through the layers of history to help us understand the complexity of that wonderful part of the world.  
To our delight Tugrul met us two days later in Istanbul for a extensive tour around that fabulous city. 
It is amazing the factual knowledge that he has in his head. 
We appreciate his attention to details such as arranging a wonderful luncheon overlooking the city. 
The view of all we had seen was terrific.   He was thorough in his attention to all things and it made our day perfect.   I would never hesitate to recommend Tugrul or Kusadasi Tours to anyone looking for a wonderful Turkish experience.  His knowledge of Turkish history is extensive and up to date.  Best of all, he is a gentleman with a good sense of humor.    
Thank you so much and kudos to Tugrul!
Sincerely,
Karen Fleming

We just returned from 23 days in Europe and were fortunate enough to have spent two days in Kusadasi.
Before arriving we booked a tour with Kusadasi Tours.
Emre was our guide and he was fantastic.
We booked the House of the Virgin Mary, Ephesus with the Terrace Houses, Temple of Artemis, and we also visited the Ephesus Museum in Selcuk.
It was an absolutely amazing day. Emre was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English.
Our visit to Ephesus was the best with Emre with us.
He brought so much of the information to life with his descriptions and humor! We were met at the ship at 8:00 a.m. and did not return until 5:00 or after. The food was fantastic, the people terrific, and everything we saw was so interesting. I cannot say enough about the enjoyment we had spending the day with Emre. You would be very luck to spend a day with him in this wonderful area.

Hello Emre,
I just wanted to say hi and thank you for such a great time. 
Out of all the tours and places we went to we all voted and loved Turkey.  
We would love to come back and visit and see more of Turkey. 
We found the people of Turkey to be so friendly it really made the time spent there fun. 
Thanks again for the great time and keep in touch with us.  If you ever get back to the USA please come and stay with us so we can show you the beautiful state of Utah.

Alice and Dick Bechtold 

Thank you for the great tour of Ephesus on Oct2. 
We learned so much from your expertise, but also enjoyed learning about your life in Turkey as well.
Please remember to send me contact information on your friend in Macedonia and I will pass your information to anyone going to Turkey.
You gave us an exceptional tour of Kusadasi last October and I am wondering if you know of anyone who does similar experiences in the Baltic area, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Riga, Helsinki, Berlin.  Are you associated with,
or do you know anything about an organization called A local tour guide? 
Thanks in advance if you can help us.
Alice and Dick Bechtold

Guided by Melih

Hope this isn't too late in replying.
We recently returned from a Wind Star cruise.
We arranged a guide with Kusadasi Tours Travel to include Ephesus, House of Vigin Mary, Terrace Houses, Temple of Artemis, and Sirinci Village for lunch.
Our guide was Melih Ozsoy and he was the best - great English, good sense of humor and knowledgeable.
We were met at the ship at 8:30 and did not return until 5:30, absolutely exhausted.
I asked if we could have manti at the restaurant and they cooked some up for us.
I asked if there was a place to get halva and we stopped at this roadside stand that had all sorts of fruits, nuts and sweets. And all this for less than what it would cost for the short Ephesus shore excursion.

Dr. Michel Gagner 

Thank you for your time, your company,  and words of wisdom during my tour of Ephesus on November 7th. If you have digital photographs of this visit, please send them to me at this email address.

Dennis and Lynn Parsons 

Emre,  (Hope the spelling is correct)
Just a reminder of who we are.  We are the American couple that you took to Ephesus in late November. (Actually the day before your religious holiday) 
We promised that we would communicate as soon as we arrived in our winter home. 
We are here but without our own computer.  Ours died and we are now in a study to replace it so borrowing our neighbors.  
We would like to tell you how much we enjoyed our tour with you and all that you did to make our day special. 
Your knowledge was vast, we loved your sense of humor and most of all we appreciated that you listened to our wants and needs and fulfilled them. 
It was a wonderful experience.  We promised you we would put comments on the internet but I have misplaced the paper with the sites.  Please email them to me and I will get it on as soon as possible.  We wish you a happy and prosperous New Year and hope soon that we will return to Turkey.   
Dennis and Lynn Parsons


Linda Smith 

Dear Selin,
I can’t thank you enough for our wonderful tour guide- Melih was so intelligent and informative
He was a joy to travel with and we learned so much history from him.
We were astounded with his knowledge and he was so pleasant.
We will recommend him to all of our friends. Thank you.
Sincerely, Linda Smith


Laurie Brown 

Hello Emre, We arrived back safe and sound.  I just want to say again thank you for the wonderful day.  It was one of the most memorable parts of our cruise.
Please also send me that information on the tour contacts in Asia. 
Thanks again.
Laurie Brown


Neville Louis 

Hello Tugrul,
My apologies for the delay in responding to your email due to circumstances beyond our control.
My intention was to write to you to thank you for the service provided by your company and ask for permission to include the name of your organisation in the paper we will be publishing on the internet relating to our Mediterranean tour.
The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, respectable and very helpful, and we will be very pleased to recommend him as well to all our friends. In the name of every member of my family, I say thank you.
A special mention goes to Selin for the good work.
Semper Fidelis
Neville Louis

Scott 

Hi Tugrul,
Your tour was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation. 
In addition to providing very interesting commentary and a valuable history lesson,
it was really great to spend the day with you.  You and Emre will have continued success if you continue to treat customers the way you treated us. 
Whenever we have the opportunity, we will definitely refer our friends and family to you. 
As soon as I can get Shelly to organize our photos we'll send you a few. 
Ron and I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys that afternoon,
I hope you made it home safely!  Please keep in touch and come visit us in California some day soon.
Best regards,
Scott
