From Our Travelers

Lili,

Thank you for your message. I’m so glad that everything went well with your planning.

I visited Sirma and Ilgin last week in Istanbul. They really are wonderful people, very concerned about the welfare and happiness of their clients, whom they work hard to please. It is a joy to work with them (as you’ve discovered!)

My best wishes for your wedding and happy married life. Thanks for your kind invitation to dinner. It’d be a great pleasure to meet you two in person and to “talk Turkey”. I don’t plan to be in Washington anytime soon, but will look you up when I am.

Cheers,

Hi Sirma,

We talk about you almost every day as our friends ask about our wonderful trip to Turkey. Sirma Gulgul and Credo Tours are just simply “fantastic”! We have traveled extensively over the years and this was the best organized and most delightful trip we have ever taken. The owner of Credo Tours is also a most charming woman whom we enjoyed meeting over lunch. How very thoughtful that she called along the way to make sure everything was just perfect…and it was!

Thank you again so much for your fantastic service and delightful friendship…might you ever get to Toronto??

With much affection,
Doug

Hi Sila,

We are back home with lots of pictures and good memories. Your guides were good, especially Rustem who was knowledgeable, flexible and very helpful. Thank you for your help.

Dear Ilgin,

I do want to say from us all a big thank you for making our holiday in Turkey so enjoyable. We were very happy with the itinerary. Your suggested accommodation on the way to Istanbul was very satisfactory. Our guide Naz was superb-knowledgeable, excellent English, and good fun. I must also praise the driver Jevat, who did wonders with his bus. We felt safe at all times with him driving. Probably the thing we got most out of was having them in Istanbul for the two days. We saw and learnt much more than we could possibly have done if we were on our own.

We will be more than happy to recommend your company to anyone we know who is planning to visit Turkey. We hope to return some day and visit more of the east.

With very best wishes.

Yours sincerely,

Hi Ilgin
We have just returned from our trip. We enjoyed Istanbul immensely and your arrangements were perfect and we appreciated the extra service. The concert in Aya Irena was magic. I will highly recommend you to any of my friends going to Turkey.

Many many thanks again

Dear Sirma,

We are still savoring our stay in your country. Thanks to you everything went like a dream and can’t stop praising you to whoever wants to listen.

Your gifts are displayed in a special place, they are beautiful and you didn’t have to go to all that trouble but we’ll enjoy them very much.

All our best wishes. Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Dear Ilgin,

Sandi and I returned safely last evening without any delays and today we just finished looking at over 300 digital pictures which I took of our trip. We had a wonderful time in every possible way and Turkey now ranks among the very best trips we have ever taken. It was truly a lesson in Turkish history and culture for us, which was exactly what we were hoping to experience. All the guides were excellent, knowledgeable, and fun to be with and the drivers were each very courteous and made us feel very safe at all times in their vehicles. We also liked the accommodations and the character of each of the hotels we stayed in.

Sandi absolutely loved every minute of the time we spent in Turkey and said it was a perfect birthday gift.

Thanks again for the very professional and expert service you gave us. It could not have been better.

We will happily pass along your name to any of our friends planning to visit Turkey.

Sincerely,
