Dear Bahar,

Indeed we are home now.  Arrived saturday eve safe and sound but very
sad about leaving Turkey.  Our trip was just fabulous. Your guidance and help were invaluable and the two guides we had were terrific, particularly Ugur in Cappadocia.  though I don't in any way mean to say than Ozcan was great as well. I have shown our photos though, to many of our friends, most of who have been to Turkey and loved it or are hoping to go.

Many thanks,

Dear Bahar,

We have arrived back in Boston with wonderful memories of our visit to turkey. It was a pleasure to meet you in Istanbul. We want to thank you and Credo for arranging a wonderful trip for us and giving us the opportunity to experience what an amazing and wonderful country Turkey is. The arrangements were thorough and excellent in every respect. I hope it is all right if we recommend that our friends contact you when they plan their trips to Turkey, and we hope we will be writing to you again soon to plan travels to the east of Turkey.
 I would like to share a few observations that might be useful for you. The Sacred House was totally marvelous and an especially great experience. All of our guides were very good and gave us experiences with different backgrounds in Turkey. Our guide in Bodrum, C.Canan Kucukeren, was very special. She is an archeologist, hard working and great fun. Our guide in Cappadocia, Faruk and the driver, Mutlu were especially kind in sharing their lives, family and fiends with us.
We hope that you are well and not too tired from your job and helping your mother. Please let us know if you come to Boston so you can stay with us.

All the best,

Steve and Gridth

Thank you!

We are all set. You have been wonderful. Can I tell your boss?
I will tell the Turkish Cultural Center in New York that they should refer travelers to you. We will also write to Frommers Guide to thank them for telling us about you.

Hi Sila

Both Joan and I want to thank you for the fabulous trip to Turkey. Everything was perfect. The Sacred House was unique and the staff were so gracious. The views from both the Swisshotel and the Kismet were beautiful. The food was excellent at every stop. The guides and drivers were friendly, informative and very concerned about us having the best of experiences. We were particularly impressed with and enjoyed Kenan in Istanbul and Ali in Cappodocia. There is no more convenient way to travel then to have personal guides and drivers. We both agree that we learned so much more about your wonderful country because we had the opportunity to ask any questions at any time.
The arrangements you made for us including flights, seat selections driver pickups etc. went like clockwork. We enjoyed meeting you for lunch and were impressed by your efficiency and your attention to our requests. We loved the trip and are encouraging everyone to go to Turkey and definitely to contact Sila Padir at Credo Tours

Thanks for everything

Hello Sirma,

I can’t believe we have been back from Istanbul a week now. On behalf of all our friends we would like to thank you once more for arranging such a wonderful holiday in Istanbul. I have had several cards from people on the trip to thank me for organizing it, not that I had much to do with it. The thanks should go to you and to Jack. All our people seem really enthusiastic- they are had a terrific time.
It was good to meet up with you, your niece and Elise at the Yesil Ev Hotel- it was a great evening.

I hope we will meet again-don’t forget if ever you are in London let us know.

Best Wishes,

Dear Sila,

Howard Pronsky and I had a wonderful time in Turkey.  The trip was delightful and the Guides were most helpful and informative.  We especially thank you for stopping to have coffee with us.  We enjoyed meeting you!  Come to New York--you would absolutely look like a native New Yorker.

Thanks for all your good work and GOOD LUCK WITH THE JULY 22 ELECTIONS.

Dear Sila,

I can't thank you enough for making our trip to Turkey totally enjoyable.  All of the arrangements you made for us worked out beautifully.  There was not a hitch anywhere.  The Mavi Ev and the Kismet hotels were very comfortable and we would not hesitate to recommend them.  But best of all were our guides.  Betty in Istanbul was truly outstanding.  As she was about the age of our daughters, we bonded with her immediately.  We were very impressed with the breadth of her knowledge not only about Turkey and the sites we were seeing but on any number of other topics that came up in the course of conversation.  We also enjoyed our guides in Antalya and Efes. 

We are following the election in Turkey with great interest and we hope that the outcome is the best possible one for Turkey and our friends there.

Thank you again for all that you did to make our trip enjoyable and worry free.  We will be singing your praises to anyone who asks about guides in Turkey.  Please give our best regards to Betty, Gulcin, and Yesim.  I'm sorry that I can't remember the drivers' names but they were all excellent.

Hello Sila,

I wanted to thank you on my behalf and behalf of my family for arranging our wonderful, memorable trip to Turkey. I have already recommended your agency to some friends in Florida, Usa and have also written up a review of the Kismet and the El Vino Suites where I have highly recommended using your agency.

We hope to make it back to Turkey to see the other spectacular things we missed. So we should see each other again a couple of years.

Please receive our warmest regards

Hello Bahar,

Thank you for organizing such a great tour for me while I was in Istanbul!  I loved the city, in fact, of all the European cities that I've visited, Istanbul is now my favorite.  The people are the friendliest and most hospitable that I've ever met.  Also, Fuat was wonderful!  Very nice and so informative and very organized.  My parents are planning to visit Turkey next year so I will have them contact you.  I also loved the Sari Konak: wonderful place to stay with very kind people.  Thank you again.

Dear Bahar,

I wanted to thank you for all the arrangements. Everything was wonderful and we really enjoyed our trip. Our guides in Istanbul and Cappadocia were wonderful as were the drivers. We really liked them and learned so much. They adjusted to the weather and our desires and made our days worthwhile. We loved the Four Seasons and its location. The Sacred House hotel was very nice. The staff there was wonderful and had huge breakfasts for us which were delicious. The restaurants we went to for lunches were fabulous; in fact we were still full some nights and skipped dinner. Our guides were great at helping us order and explaining what were the specials.
I also appreciated the personal attention you showed by meeting us and following up when we returned to Istanbul. Everything went by clockwork and on schedule and we had a wonderful time.
Thank you again and we would be glad to be a referral for you.

Dear Sila,

We are all now safely back in Germany and I wanted to thank you for the excellent service you provided for our tour. Kenan proved to be an invaluable asset and I would highly recommend him to any military group.

Many thanks again for your fantastic service.
