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 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,

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

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 high

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

We
have just returned home and I would like to thank you and in particular
our guide(Ms Tulip) for bringing Ephesus to life. This is our second
visit and the terrace houses were a dramatic addition this time.
We

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.

rofessional,
detailed and efficient tour guides. Please relay our grateful thanks to
both of them, Genchis in Izmir and Ceng in Istanbul.
We were so impressed of the cleanliness of Turkey inspite of the traffic

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.

Hi Mehmet,
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

We enjoyed our tour with Cengiz very much. He was very knowledgable and
educated. His English was good. We feel as if we got a very good history
lesson on our trip to Ephesus. The lunch we enjoyed in the garden of the

enjoy the atmosphere of the 'real' Turkey. October 07, 2006

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
absolutely loved our tour of Ephesus with "Nadia" on October 25th! 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

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 whole trip. Sunday July 23, 2006

Dear Mehmet,
We had
an incredible vacation last month that included 7 countries—and we look
back on 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

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 02, 2006

Dear
Mehmet,
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 09, 2006 Ephesus
