I just got back early this morning.
I bit jet lagged but the flight went well. The trip went very well. Everyone had a wonderful time, and several people showed interest in coming back to Turkey for another trip next year.

We just returned from our vacation and I received your email. I can only say the nicest things about Yigit and the job he did as our guide. He was personable, incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, funny and caring. We couldn't have been happier with any other guide. We had a great time and learned so much from him. He was very proud of everything related to Turkey from its history to the current culture and that pride came though so well. It was a pleasure to meet him and we all hope that his path crosses ours again in the future. We loved everything ...

The requirements for our tour were extremely complicated, yet Mr. Şen and the agency handled the arrangements perfectly. Our trip was a four-week Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad educational seminar for 12 teachers and 2 university trip ...

Our party just got back to the USA yesterday from our trip to Turkey and Greece. Sorry I could not respond earlier, but I did not have my laptop computer with me. Let me say that our party of 13 people had a wonderful time in Istanbul and in Ephesus. The arrangements made for us by FEST were perfect. We saw all of the key features and everything went off like clockwork. I want to give a special complement to the two guides you provided to us, Mr. Serhan Gungor in Istanbul and Ms. Deniz Harput in Ephesus. Both were very professional, punctual and ...

It was a pleasure to meet you at our farewell dinner in Istanbul last week, I so appreciate you providing us an opportunity to "weigh in" with our impressions and thoughts about our extraordinary Turkey trip.
Superlatives abound regarding every aspect and every detail of our tour. The itinerary was very well balanced, it was both intellectually and aesthetically stimulating and rich with a sultan's banquet table of unexpected delights, historically, culturally, politically, socially and recreationally.
The accommodations were delightful and well selected for each stop...
