Ilgin, we just wanted to write to give you some feedback on our trip.
 
First, it was a pleasure to work with someone as professional as you. Your responsiveness and follow up are fantastic, sorely missing in the travel industry. Everything was well coordinated and on time. The itinerary fit the time we had too. I would definitely recommend others to you. And when we come back, we will contact you in advance... with more advanced time to prepare!Both of our guides were well educated on their subjects and areas and knowledgeable on all areas. Very friendly and interactive too. That's it. Loved our time in Turkey and look forward to working with you again sometime in the future.

Dear Ilgin,
 
We returned home from Turkey yesterday evening after a wonderful two weeks. Thank you so much for everything you and Credo Tours did to make such a memorable trip for Charlie, Vitta, Marisa and me.

We were very pleased with all the services you provided. I know how much work must go into making sure everything happens as it is supposed to with the drivers, transfers, guides, and hotels. Your professionalism in handling all these details is very evident.

We really liked all the hotels you selected. The Blue House in Istanbul is in a perfect location, the Esbelli Evi was charming(we spent my birthday there), the Marina was a gracious hotel, and we all loved the Kismet(Charlie and I had a room at the end with a view of the sea from two balconies).

If you and/or Credo would like to use us as USA references, we would be glad to do that. We will certainly tell all our friends that they must visit Turkey, and that they should arrange it through you and Credo.
 
Sincerely, Theresa Sewell Bellaire, Texas/ USA

Dear Ilgin,
 
I want to thank you for all the hard work you put into our trip. I don't see how it could have been better. Your advice was sound on everything, your judgment flawless, your arrangements superb-in short, you were a delight to work with and highly professional as well. We loved the trip-from start to finish. The gulet was unbelievable-what a gift that was. I don't think we had any idea what we were in for. I'm sure the cabin charter would have been fine, but there is just no way to compare it to what we had. We loved the gulet(by far the most beautiful we saw in the entire 4 days). The captain and crew were attentive, but didn't hover. The food was memorable to say the least. I badly miss it now that we're home. What a chef! We can finally get fresh local tomatoes, but while they may be bright red, they sure don't taste as good as those in Turkey.

Our guides and drivers were uniformly excellent-Yavuz was helpful and knowledgeable, Edip was a true delight, and our guide in Ephesus was charming.

The paragliding was unbelievable. I really fell in love with it. Jamie enjoyed it too. It was nice to do some driving-the car was very comfortable. We liked the town of Kalkan a lot- and bought two more rugs(4 total). We did climb up to Termessos-wonderful site and it's obvious why Alexander the Great took one look and said "Forget it".

In short, we loved the entire trip. We are very grateful to your attentive care, your meticulous attention to detail and very much appreciated your concern that we were happy throughout.

It was a delight to meet you after all the email exchanges. FYI, I'm attaching a trip report Jamie did for his family. It's long, but he wanted to give everyone a sense of what our trip was like-good PR for Turkey since his family travels a lot. He wrote it with only minor editing from me. Hope you enjoy it.

Many, many thanks again. I'm still contemplating writing an article for the Washington Post travel section to encourage Americans to go to Turkey. Not sure how to title it, though. I figure "Turkey: The Friendly Islamic Country" isn't quite right, but frankly, it's the message Americans need to get so they'll come. We're also encouraging all our friends to come and if they do, of course we'll send them to you.

Many thanks again- and bless you for our gulet trip.
 
Best Wishes, Janet Heininger & James Reuter Arlington / USA

Hi Sila, Date: November 09, 2009

Our guide in Bodrum was the BEST! Loved her and wish we had more time there to explore. Istanbul was great...the hotels both were adequate not glamorous but the location was great! Loved being in the old city. Our two young guides in Istanbul and Cappadocia were the best. Enthusiastic, fun and very willing to discuss! We loved Turkey!!!

Dear Bahar, Date: November 06, 2009

We had a wonderful trip in Turkey on the tour that you put together for us. I think the cave hotel in Cappadocia was our favorite. We were impressed with the quality of Roman (and other) ruins in Turkey in comparison with those in Italy where we have traveled extensively. The guides were terrific and were ready to provide far more information on any subject than we could absorb. We will certainly recommend Credo to friends wanting to tour Turkey.


Thanks again, Norman Stubbs USA

 


Sila, Date: November 06, 2009

I cannot believe I have not e-mailed you before this. I meant to do it promptly upon our return but have totally forgotten that I had not done so!

We loved, loved, loved Cappadocia! The hotel was wonderful, Faruk was delightful (and so well informed, energetic and fun!), and the sights were beyond my imagination! I was totally captivated by the entire area! We loved Turkey! The people were so nice and the history is staggering. I must say we were stunned by the knowledge of our guides. They were excellent. We have already told you how much we liked Riza, and we felt the same about Faruk. We arrived home safely and have enjoyed the time since reflecting on our great time in your country. Thank you so much for all the planning, the arrangements, everything! Hope you are doing well.



Love, Lince Mullis USA
