Hi Tugrul,
Your tour was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation. In addition to providing very interesting commentary and a valuable history lesson, it was really great to spend the day with you. You and Emre will have continued success if you continue to treat customers the way you treated us. Whenever we have the opportunity, we will definitely refer our friends and family to you. As soon as I can get Shelly to organize our photos we'll send you a few. Ron and I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys that afternoon, I hope you made it home safely! Please keep in touch and come visit us in California some day soon.
best regards,
Scott
Hi Melih,
Just to say, many thanks for the great tour last week.
I will be sure to recommend you to any friends who decide
to visit Ephesus .
Kind Regards,
Neil.
We loved our tour! Oscar was
our tour guide and he was excellent. My mother is
handicapped and he helped guide her through the ruins. He
was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He also took us to a
wonderful rug school where we bought rugs. it was
wonderful, much better than the rug shops that other
tourists went to. (We heard about other tours on our ship.)
We highly recommend your company to others needing a tour
to Ephasus. The price was right also.
I have been meaning to write to you to tell you how pleased we were with our private tour of Ephesus. Tan Ergen, our Tour Guide, was fantastic! Thank you very much for providing such good service! We will be sure to recommend your agency to friends and colleagues.
Hello,
We enjoyed our tour of Ephesus very much. The pick-up and transport back to the port was very easy. The tour guide, Gonca, did an excellent job of making us feel welcome and providing us with information about the sites. We will definitely recommend your company to anyone we know who may go visit Turkey.
(It was a little surprising when the port authority at Kusadasi took our passports for the day…. We are told by our government to never let anyone take your passport away from you (because they may be duplicating it), just let them stamp it and give it right back. I know you have nothing to do with that procedure, but you may want to let people know that the passports will be taken and returned at the end of the day.)
Thank you very much! Greetings to Gonca !

We did indeed enjoy our Private Ephesus Tour and day in Turkey. And our guide, Emre was wonderful. Will certainly recommend you to friends and hope to be back someday. Thanks again

Dear Tugrul Sokmen
Thank you for your message. My wife and my son have enjoyed their time in your Kusadasi hotel and wish you all the best in your business.
They wish you could look into putting wide range of modern music in the disco bar and possibly re-design the lobby.
I hope to visit this hotel myself as well.
Best Regards
Imran Hajiyev
Dear Ipek
I would like to kindly inform you that my family enjoyed the trip to Kusadasi and the hotel Adakule.
Many thanks for your professional service and looking forward to visiting your site again in the future.
Best Regards

Post on Cruise-chat.com
Just came back from a
cruise which included a trip to Kusadasi and we went to
Ephesus with a private tour. We used Kusadasi Tours,
www.kusadasitours.com and wanted to make a quick post
for anyone interested.
We had Emre as a tour guide and it was a great day. Picked
up at the port by Emre and his driver in a new air
conditioned vehicle.
The tour was great and so was the lunch. They also took us
to some shopping spots for rugs and leather goods.
Overall a great experience, competitively priced (was less
than half the cruise offered tour).
And no I am not getting paid for this, lol.

Re: Tanner On May 5th my wife and I had the pleasure of having Tanner as our guide for a visit to Ephesus. We both concured that Tanner was the best guide we ever had. He was on time when our ship docked. His mastery of the English language was, propably better than mine. He posessed a thorough knowledge of the hisory of Ephesus and was very generous in answering our questions about present day live in Turkey. We learned about Turkish government, healthcare system, politics, real estate, tourism, economics and religion. He was wonderful.
Thank you very much

Dear Tugrul,
About 3 weeks ago, my husband, Dave, and I had a wonderful 6 hour tour including lunch at Sleeping Brothers with a guide and driver from your agency. We were on Oceania Cruise and your tour exceeded our best expectations. We have dear friends who live in Alabama and will be arriving in Kusadasi on the Seven Seas Voyager, Regent lines, on October 9th, arriving in port at 8AM. They would like to have a wonderful day in Ephesus, as we experienced it, including a tour of Ephesus, Virgin Mary's House, and the Basilica of St. John.
Thank you very much for whatever assistance you can be and again we thank you for making our tour of Ephesus the highlight of our trip.
Sincerely,
Jacki O'Harra, 01.10.2007
The jeep safari was fun, climbing was diffucult we were not prepared-shoeswise-we didn't get any note. The guides were nice & made it more exciting. Would like to have seen more nature & wild life, a lot of riding in jeep. The cave was a lot of fun & refreshing. Thank you for a fun morning/afternoon.
Hi Tugrul, Just got back from our trip. The time on the boat was fantastic. The people were very nice and the trip most interesting. Saw lots of ruins and other interesting things in both Greece and Turkey.
I just want to thank you for guiding us. It was really a great day. Possible the most fun we had on the whole trip. I wrote to Shirin at STyle telling here what a great guide you are.
Hopefully we will meet again. If you come to the US please let us know. We would love to see you.
We wish you much success
Thanks again

On behalf of my family : Jesse, Courtney, Liene and me, I would like to extend my appreciation to the Kusadasi Travel Agency and its staff for the wonderful vacation we had in Turkey. From the time we arrived in Kusadasi until we left we were treated very well. I would like to especially acknowledge the services of Tugrul Sokmen and Muge who served as our tour guides. Their knowledge of the area is extensive and they shared so many good stories with us. We will never forget their kindness to us! It is indeed rare to go on tours with guides who have such in-depth knowledge of the history and culture of the region. We would also like to thank Emre Ates who wanted us to have a good time and continuously asked what else we wanted to do. We would also thank our drivers Ali and Ahmet for their professionalism and expertise to guarantee us a safe journey!

To Whom it May Concern:
We are at the end of our tour, and I wish to let you know that we absolutely are thrilled to have had some days here in Turkey with Turul. He was professional, intelligent, knowledgeable, and fun to be with. Both Katherine and I have had a wonderful time here with him and we learned quite a bit.
I will absolutely recommend your agency, and Turul in particular, whenever colleagues and friends come to Turkey.
Thank you, and kindly give Turul our regards and sincerest thanks.
James Digironimo, New York City, USA 21.06.2007
Many thanks to Kusadasi Tours for making our one day in Turkey a truly wonderful experience. Our every need was met with a smile and our expert guide Tugrul Sokmen was so well informed and personable. He has endless knowledge and great a sense of humor. You will be in good hands with him and Kusadasi Tours. The Mercedes Benz van was an excellent vehicle and very cool and comfortable. Five Stars !!

EPHESUS Ephesus is one of the world's greatest archaeo-logical sites. Founded around 1200 BC on the foothills of Mt. Panayir (Pion) along the shores of the Aegean where the Menderes River empties into the sea, and then moved to the slopes of Mt. Bülbül Dağı. Ephesus was an affluent port city of 250,000 people, often described as the "first and greatest metropolis of Asia."
Religious Sites in Turkey Asia Minor Urban civilization first took root in Anatolia. That the three monotheistic religions chose Anatolia as a base to spread their beliefs is an important signal. The faiths, having lived together for centuries in this setting, left their traces throughout this land. The globalization taking place in the information age had its ethical beginnings built on the synthesis that took place in this region. On behalf of theTurkish Republic, welcome all those travelers to Turkey, seeking to find their roots while holidaying in the land of faiths.
CRUISE SHIP PORTS ATHENS The capital of Greece took its name from the goddess Athena, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. This is where democracy was born. This is where that marvel of architecture, the Parthenon was created. This is where art became inseparable from life, and this is where Pericles gave the funerary speech, that monument of the spoken word.
Piraeus (Pireas) has been the port of Athens since antiquity. The modern city, built on top of the ancient city, is a major shipping and financial centre. All the ships that link the capital with the island Greece and the rest of the world leave from this historic port. Crete (Kriti) is the largest Greek island. It is the border between the Aegean and the Libyan seas and between Europe and Africa. The climate is considered one of the mildest and healthiest in Europe.
Corfu (Kerkira) is the most popular of them all. It is a very green island and a mixture of the civilizations that have passed through at various times. The town impresses and charms the visitor with its two forts, narrow streets, tali houses, arcades, Venetian-built Town Hail, church to Saint Spyridon the island's patron saint, flower-filled gardens, and balconies with their superb wrought-iron fences. Flooded with sights, Corfu is a small paradise on Earth.
Mykonos is the cosmopolitan centre of the Cyclades. Its low rocky hills slope down to enchanting golden beaches. Grey-green boulders sprout prickly-pears and windmills. Despite the dazzling light the summers are refreshing. One can find beaches that are almost empty, or rub shoulders with hundreds of scarcely dressed beauties. White-washed cube-shaped houses are scattered about. İn the narrow streets of the town chapels and picturesque tavernas hide among folk art shops and stores selling jewelry and furs. Trends that vvill sweep the intemational scene are born in the intense nightlife of this modern resort
The largest island in the group is Rhodes, also known as the island of the Sun. The capital, City of Rhodes, is like a valuable Coin with two faces. One face, "heads", is the old town, a fairy-tale place surounded by medieval walls and traversed by the Street of the Knights of St. John. On either side of the road is the old town with the Inns the Hospital of the Knights and the palace of the Grand Master. The other face, "tails", is the modern city with an intense nightlife, broad streets, beautiful buildings, large hotels, and hundreds of shops where anything can be found. The entire island abounts wth sights worth seing; from the archaelogicai sites to the fabulous beaches, from the valley with the butterflies to the ruins of ancient Rhodes, from the Acropolis of Lindos to the archaeological sites at Kameiros (Kamiros) and lalysos .
