107-)Hello Mehmet
We had an absolute great day. Our guide, Sammy, was so knowledgeable
and as interested in our welfare as we were in your beautiful
country. At every moment, he wanted to make sure we were comfortable
and satisfied with our tour. Having kids on the tour is not easy but
Sammy was able to keep them very engaged. We had the right blend of
tour with commentary and time for ourselves to explore the sites and
shopping. It was a grand time and we thank you.
Very best regards

We have arrived safely back in Canada and I just wanted to write to
thank you very much for the service your company provided while we
were in Turkey. Our guide, also Mehmet (assuming not you) was
wonderful. He was polite, informative and helpful in all ways. His

would recommend his services to anyone we know who is travelling to

We had a wonderful time on our tour of Ephesus!!! This was one of my

with the fantastic tour guide, Nadia. She was very knowledgeable and
easy to listen to.

We really enjoyed our tour with Gokhan our tour guide.
He is so passionate about his country and knowlegable about the
ancient history and the modern Turkey. He is very friendly, very
detail, knows everyone, and always try to keep us under the shade in
the hot weather.
I was surprised that for 4 people we got a private guide and a
driver for the tour. It was a lot nicer than the cruise ship
excursion and value for the dollars. I definitely will recommend it
to my friends and family and will put comment on Forum.
Please thank Gokhan for the wonderful tour.

On our visit to Kusadasi in June, 2009, we had an outstanding guide.
He took us to Ephesus and gave an excellent tour. Very informative.
We also visited the Temple of Artemis and St. John's as well as the
House of the Virgin Mary.
We had been to Ephesus before but did a cruise ship bus tour. This
time we did the private tour, and I highly highly recommend doing a
private tour. We were met at the port with no problems, had great
transportation and, as I said, an outstanding guide.
I would use this tour company again!!! That is the highest praise I
can give!!!!!
Thank you.

I want you to know that Ephesus, Turkey was one of the absolute
highlights of our 3 week vacation. We flew into Rome for 3 days,
took a 12 day Princess Cruises tour through Italy, Greece, Kusadasi/Ephesus
and Monte Carlo, ending with 5 days in Venice. The one day we spent
in Ephesus was so incredible and we owe much of the delight to
Yalcin, our tour guide through Samyeli Travel. He was engaging,
polite, extremely well educated and gracious. We loved him, we loved
Ephesus, we loved Turkey and the Turkish people. There were 6 people
in our group and each of us has had a small sample of Turkey with
the desire to return and see more! We felt the tour fee was very
reasonable, especially split among the group. We took several other
tours, but the one with Samyeli was by far the best. We highly
recommend you and when we return, we will book with you again.
Thank you for helping to make this vacation amazing!

Mehmet,
Sorry I haven't written before this but we just returned a few days
ago and have been recuperating from a slight cold.
I will be happy to give you some comments on the tour we received.
We arrived at our meeting spot a few minutes early and Hamar was
there waiting for us. What a great pleasure for us to find out we
were the only ones to book the tour so we had a private tour rather
than a group tour. We truly enjoyed the whole tour. Hamar was very
knowledgeable and as he was educated in the States we had no problem
with a language barrier. He was very much a kind gentleman and even
impressed my husband (who can be a bit harder to please than me)
with his knowledge. Ephesus was absolutely amazing and one thing
that made it even more special was that Hamar sang for us in the
theater (what a great singer) and told us about the time he sang
with the Russian Symphony at the theater, it just made the tour more
personal for us. After the Ephesus tour Hamar took us to a carpet
demonstration and we very much enjoyed the hospitality of Sam and
his team and even bought a couple of carpets.
I have to say that we didn't know what to expect when we came to
Turkey as it was our first time there but we have decided that we
will return to your beautiful country one day soon. Your people's
hospitality and kindness really touched our hearts and the beauty of
your country we hope to enjoy again very soon.
When we do return I will certainly contact you again to set up
another tour!!!!
Thanks again,

Thank you so much for the tour of Ephesus. We really enjoyed the

of not having to wait for a large group of people and the personal
service you provide make your tours so much more enjoyable than any
ship excursion we could have taken.

Hi Mehmet.
We
had a wonderful private tour of the ancient city of Ephesus with
Samyeli Travel. Our tour guide, Naciye (Nadia) Otar, was
wonderful. She was so knowledgeable on not only Ephesus and ancient
history, but on Turkey and the world today in general. Plus she was
very personable and a joy to spend time with. All of us in our
group (5 adults and 3 children) enjoyed our day with Samyeli
Travel. Additionally, I would like to commend Mahmet at Samyeli
Travel. He made booking very easy, was able to handle changes to
the number of people in our tour with no problem, and he even handed
out cool wipes at the end of our tour. I highly recommend Samyeli
Travel for private tours in Kusadasi!

Thank you for a wonderful excursion, and for exceeding my already

instead of with the cruise ship. Not only did we pay half as much
(since the Cruise-line didn't take a huge profit), we were able to
see the sites at our own pace AND didn't have to stick with the 50
Costa Cruise buses.
Our guide knew everything and it made me feel a bit lazy that I only
had to learn 300 years of stuff in American History classes. :)
Thank you again for a wonderful trip. Best of luck!

Greetings Mehmet,
Very nice to hear from you.
I
cannot tell you in few words how much we enjoyed the visit in
Izmir/Ephesus. It could not have been andy more delightful than the
visit hosted by Levent, such a nice young man. We felt like he took
care of our tour just like we were his family. We were away from
home for 23 days and we have told EVERYONE who asked that our
favorite day was in Turkey on that tour. The day was perfect.
And
your country was delightful. Our cruise was not so special but we
chose Costa primarily because of the itinerary to Izmir. I don't
recommend Costa at all, but I recommend your tour service with no
hesitation at all. The vehicle, the driver, and Levent's
professional guide skills made it such a wonderful day.
Please feel free to refer any potential customers to me for
comments.
I am
passing your message on to my wife, she was just a pleased as I was
and may have some additional comments.
I'm
guessing you want photos attached to an email and I will try to do
that in another document. If there is another way, please advise
me.
Thank you again for the privilege of getting to know Levent and your
country. We had a difficult day the day before Izmir, being
pickpocketed in Athens. So we were down spirited when we arrived in
Izmir. But your service made that day the best of our whole trip.

kind regards,

Dear Friends at Samyeli Travel,
My
wife and I used your guide service for a private tour in Istanbul
and the ancient city of Ephesus (Kusadasi) in August of 2007. Both
of these tours exceeded our expectations. Our tour in Istanbul was
conducted by G. Lale Kilic, the most attentive, knowledgeable and
detailed guide we have ever had. She adjusted the tour to meet our
desires as far as time to spend in the places we wanted to see. She
kept merchants from raising their prices above what they should have
been charging and saw to it that we had rest stops when I needed
them. She even called ahead to the person who would be guiding us in
Ephesus ,Naciye Otar, to alert her to our needs and desires. She
arranged for cold beverages on an extremely hot day and helped me
find some mementos which I wanted to bring home to our friends at
our church. I had a life's dream of being able to see the Haggai
Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Lale made this possible and very
informative with many answers to my questions about each one. If we
would ever be able to travel to Turkey again I would certainly hope
that we could once again have Lale be our guide.
We
arrived at Ephesus on a very hot day. Naciye saw to it that we were
not rushed and that we had plenty of cold water to drink. She, too,
was very knowledgeable and arranged for us to have a delightful
lunch in a local restaurant which had wonderful local food and
atmosphere. My daughter and son in law especially enjoyed this part
of the tour. My wife Dianne and my son in law Paul took many
pictures which I treasure. We also enjoyed a tour of a ceramics
factory and a carpet weaving factory and a very remote village where
we saw a very ancient church.
I
will share with you that I had to have cancer surgery two weeks
after returning home from this trip. I was actually in better shape
to undergo the surgery after the trip than I would have been before
the trip thanks to the special care Lale and Naciye took to make
sure we traveled at an easy pace. I was also very impressed with the
drivers they worked with - we had no white knuckle experiences like
we had had on a large group bus tour in Athens. The air conditioning
on our very comfortable vans made the traveling easy.
I
would be happy to try to answer any questions someone would have
about our trip. Certainly Samyeli Travel will do everything they
promise and more. (2007)

Dear Mehmet:
We
have just returned from our cruise which included the Turkish ports
of Kusadasi and Istanbul. I think our day in Istanbul was the best
of our whole cruise.I had just awakened in the morning and opened my
eyes to the sight of The Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace through our
balcony door. Unforgettable! The success of our experiences in
those ports was due, in no small part, to your excellent guides. We
loved being able to move about quickly, not having to wait, as you
do on official ship's excursions, for many people to board the bus.
Also, we were able to make minor itinerary changes to suit our
group. Your guides were pleasant and well informed.
People on the ship told us they were pleasantly surprised by how
nice Turkey is, but we had already heard many glowing reports from
several friends who had travelled to Turkey and loved it. Keep up
the good work! I will certainly recommend Samyeli travel to friends.
Cheers, Linda Long.

I want to extend our thanks for the wonderful tours we had in
Istanbul and Ephesus earlier this month. Even with a change in our
itinerary, your guides managed to optimize the time we had to the
fullest.
Our guide in Istanbul was Ayhan Uysal, a marvelous, intelligent and
engaging young man who shared his wealth of knowledge with us. There
were only four of us and he gave us such personalized attention,
never lacking answers for our many questions. He also took us to
lunch at a local Istanbul restaurant where we enjoyed traditional
dishes. Anyone fortunate enough to have him for a guide is
guaranteed a memorable experience.
Our guide in Ephesus was Nadia. She was also very personable and so
knowledgeable. We had a wonderful day with her and touring the ruins
in Ephesus with her was exceptional.
Needless to say, thanks to Samyeli Travel we would love to come back
to Turkey and spend more time. It was more than we ever expected and
we will strongly recommend your services to anyone we know who is

Mehmet -
Thanks once again for a great tour. Jengis Cenk was a terrific
guide who we would highly recommend. I just posted a thread on
cruisecritic and mentioned your agency. Here is a photo of our
family at the Library of Celsius. This was really the highlight of
our cruise. My brother Steve will be posting something as well.
Best of luck to you and your guides.

Hi Mehmet,
We just wanted to let you know what a wonderful tour and tour guide
we had on our recent trip to Turkey. Six of us arrived on the
Splendour of the Seas on July 24 and we were met by Nadia (Naciye)
Otar. She was informative, funny and a wonderful person. We had a
great time with her and would highly recommend her and your company
to anyone going to Turkey. Taking a private tour with you was the
best way to see the sights!
Thanks for making our time in Turkey memorable.

Mr. Dagdelen,
Thank you so much for 3 wonderful tours in Turkey. We were very
pleased with Arzu (please pardon my spelling!) in Istanbul and Turu
in Ephesus. Both were very knowledgeable and their English was
excellent. We were also very grateful for your thorough and speedy
responses to our questions via email. Your busses were large and
comfortable. It was a pleasure working with Samyeli Travel, and I
will recommend your company whenever I have the opportunity.

Mehmet,
We
are finally home in Florida and I wanted to write to you to tell you
how much we liked our time in Kusadasi with your tour guide and
driver. I am sorry that the cruise line misled you for our pick-up
time. Fortunately, everything worked out for us and we had plenty
of time to visit all areas.
We
are very thankful that we booked our trip to Ephesus, Virgin Mary
House and Artemis Temple with you. Mr. Cenk Cenghis was, by far,
the best tour guide that we had on our entire cruise. He was very
friendly, professional and provided much information of the areas we
visited. Also, our driver (I have forgetten his name) was very
courteous and professional. All of the people I talked to on the
Legend of the Seas that did an excursion on a bus, were disappointed
with their tour.
I
told many people on the ship about our great tour with Samyeli
Travel and I will also highly recommend you to all the
people on Fodors. com, CruiseCritic.com, cruisemates.com, trip
advisor.com and venere.com.
Thank you, once again for a wonderful day in your country. When we
return, we will certainly use Samyeli again and will request Mr.
Cenghis. If I can be of any further help, please let me know.

We very much enjoyed our tours in both Ephesus and Istanbul. Accept
for unavoidable delays due to the ship/traffic, we had no problems
meeting up with our guides - very prompt. Thorough coverage of tour
sites. Very knowledgeable tour guides. Friendliness of tour guides
was exceptional - we especially liked Nadia in Ephesus. The private
tour group experience was definitely superior to the ship's large
group tours.
Thank you for making our visit to Turkey so memorable.

Hi Mehmet,
We all were extremely pleased with the tour! We were met promptly by
you and our guide Genghis and the van you provided was very
comfortable for our group of 10. My husband enjoyed seeing the sign
with my name so much that we asked to keep it and had it autographed
by Genghis. Our driver was courteous and careful which we all
appreciated. Everyone also enjoyed the delicious lunch. One couple
told me that of all the tours he had taken on the trip (all others
were Oceania tours) that the Ephesus tour was by far the best.
Having visited Kusadasi and Ephesus before, the highlight for me was
the Terrace houses and I am very glad that I included them in the
tour plan. We took too long in other places we visited to get to
the Isabey mosque, but the group agreed that it was our fault and no
one minded in the least. The shoppers appreciated the extra time to
spend their money at the sites we visited. That is the best part of
a tour that is customized; the group has more control of the pace.
In short, we could not have been happier and would not hesitate to
recommend Samyeli Travel to anyone wishing to arrange a private
tour. I have attached a picture of the group in front of the
library – taken by Genghis.

First of all we did not have a tour in Ephesus with your company,
although we wish we had. Our tour was in Istanbul. We were met as
soon as we docked and started immediately. Our tour guide was Mr
Fatih Erarslan, he was very knowledgeable. He answered question not
only about the sights, but also the government, society, and
culture. He was very pleasant and we would certainly request him if
we ever return to Turkey. After this tour, we have decide we will
always do private tours not tours from the ship. Thank you for your
services and we wish continued success in your business. Thank you
to Fatih also.

Mehmet,
Greetings from Kettering, OH, USA!
First of all, I would like to thank you for your clear, quick and
timely information that you provided throughout the entire process.
We planned many private tours on this trip, all of which were
recommended through the Cruise Critic Web Site, including yours. I
appreciated your extra efforts in putting Sheila and I in touch with
the Greshams for this private tour, as well. Thank you!
Of all the tours that we took , in Istanbul, Kusadasi, Athens,
Rhodes, Naples, Rome and Venice - it was Samyeli Travel that FAR
EXCEEDED our expectations and provided super customer service,
quality arrangements and VALUE for the price paid. Not only did
Samyeli Travel deliver everything that was promised, but everyone
went out of their way to ensure we had a terrific experience.
The cleanliness of the van provided, the professionalism of the
driver and the knowledge and personality of our guide were
OUTSTANDING!!! As soon as we settle down and have time to right our
review and submit it to the Cruise Critic website, you can be
confident that Samyeli Travel will include our highest praise!
Mehmet, we had an unfortunate experience at the end of our trip, my
luggage and camera bag were stolen from the train at Roma Termini,
other wise it would have been my pleasure to provide you with photos
of our tour and guide.
Feel free to use these comments as a recommendation of your
services, and should someone want to contact me personally, I would
be more than happy to do so.
Please extend a warm thank you to everyone who made our excursion
and private tour a very memorable experience!!
Take care, November 27, 2006

Hello Mehmet
We enjoyed our tour with Cengiz very much. He was very knowledgable

history lesson on our trip to Ephesus. The lunch we enjoyed in the
garden of the Ceramic School was very enjoyable and it was nice to
sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere of the 'real' Turkey.

Dear
Mehmet,
I
just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our private Ephesus
tour on November 5, 2006. This was a private custom tour for just
the two of us that actually cost less that a similar group tour
offered by Princess Cruises. We were met by our guide on the dock
as soon as we disembarked from the Golden Princess. The car was
immaculate and spacious and we had a very good driver in addition
to our guide. Our guide spoke very good English and was very
interesting and informative about Ephesus, the Terrace Houses,
Temple of Artemis, and the Basilica of St. John. We found the
Terrace Houses especially interesting and are glad that we included
them in our custom tour. We had a tasty buffet lunch at a very nice
restaurant that also had very clean restrooms.
The other part of our tour that was surprisingly educational and
interesting was a visit to a Turkish Carpet cooperative school and
showroom. We enjoyed our Turkish coffee while we were shown a
variety of carpets after watching a weaving demonstration. There was
absolutely no pressure to buy. We had contacted four other tour
companies on the web and found the best combination of service and
price from Samyeli Travel. November 5, 2006 Ephesus

Dear Mehmet,
We

She was delightful, and we truly enjoyed the day with her. She was
very knowledgeable about Turkey & about Ephesus, and it made the
Ephesus tour so interesting to have her guide us through it and
explain things. She was a lot of fun, and we would highly recommend
her to anyone considering one of your tours. The Ephesus tour was
our favorite stop on the entire cruise. As soon as I get a chance, I
will write a review on tripadvisor.com and recommend your company.

about it was perfect. Ibrahim and our driver were promptly waiting
for us at the airport and it was a blessing to have comfortable,
air-conditioned ransportation waiting for us. They were both very
friendly and entertaining tour guides. Ibrahim was very
knowledgeable about the history of the beautiful sites we visited
and we felt as though we were getting inside information that other
visitors were missing out on. They dropped us off at the front door
of the hotel we stayed at in Kusadasi and recommended a restaurant
for dinner. It was all a great experience and a highlight of our

Dear Mehmet,
We had an incredible

our time in Turkey as a highlight of the trip. We credit that to our
guide Denis—who taught us more about the history of the area in one
day then we would have learned in a semester at school. We were also
made to feel incredibly welcome—and for that reason we look forward
to returning to Turkey again in the future. Thank you for an amazing
day to remember! We would highly reccomend Samyeli Travel to anyone
visiting the area. Thank you for providing such a wonderful service!

Hi Mehmet (James),
We
(5 adults & 5 children) had a terrific guide (Hassan) and were
amazed at the knowledge and the desire to detail this knowledge by
him. He truly was fun to be with, yet maintained a sense of
professionalism. He mentioned he had toured with school groups and
therefore was perfect for our mixed aged group.
As for the value of the dollar paid, fantastic. Excursions offered
by the cruise line were either shorter or much more expensive than
what we paid per person. A birthday cake was even arranged for my
daughter without any asking. We could have hoped for nothing better
other than more time to spend visiting Kusadasi & Ephesus. August

Dear

We
were surprised to have both a driver and a tour guide. They were
both excellent and were waiting for us as we left the ship. Sedat
was so informative and since he is an English teacher, of course he
was very easy to understand. He was so accommodating, letting us go
at our pace and stop for pictures whenever we wanted. The schedule
was great, the car was very comfortable, and lunch was delicious. I
also want to thank you for being so good to deal with and so prompt
in answering my questions while I was planning the trip.
I notice you have updated the prices of the tours on your website.
The tour is still a bargain at the new prices and I would highly
recommend it and your company. When we saw the big groups of people
following the flag around on the Princess tours, we knew how lucky
we were to have a private tour. In a few days when things settle
down here, I will be posting comments on some of the forums. If we
are lucky enough to return to Turkey someday, I will want to book
more tours with you.
The only suggestion I could offer is to make it clear on the web
page tour description that the price includes both a driver and a
guide; I think it would be a selling point. Thanks again. May
