COMMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS
Hello Tugrul,
My
apologies for the delay in responding to your email due to
circumstances beyond our control.
My
intention was to write to you to thank you for the service
provided by your company and ask for permission to include
the name of your organisation in the paper we will be
publishing on the internet relating to our Mediterranean
tour.
The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, respectable and
very helpful, and we will be very pleased to recommend him
as well to all our friends.
In
the name of every member of my family, I say thank you.
A
special mention goes to Selin for the good work.
Semper Fidelis

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.
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.

Dear Mr. Tugrul Sokmen,
Thank you for the
wonderful tour of your company and best guide Emre Ates provided

Dear Selin Bakilan,
Our tour in Kusadasi
was just perfect!!

warmth and friendliness. We were so pleased that we will
highly recommend your company to everyone who will be
traveling to Kusadasi.
Thank you very much

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

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.

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.

This has been extreme pleasure to have
spent nearly three days with you while we stayed in Izmir.
We visited the lost city of Ephesus, Artemis Temple (fortunately
to have visited this really)
Pottery making, silk weaving etc. etc.
on day 1. Wow! that's amazing - isn't it?
Day 2 was a long drive to Pamukkale and
we were amazed to have been able to walk past the calcium
deposits brought over by running water - unimaginable life
to be there. Thermal bath was a real hot experience.
Izmir city tour was the third day of
our stay. It is a wonderful town blending new and old
cultures culminating into wonderful traditions of
hospitality. We(self,wife & doughter) had enjoyable time
loved bread-so smooth and flavoured- were thrilled and
come back again.
Tugrul is very well trained and
excellent guide. He is very personable and fantastic
friend to have. Serkan has been excellent helpful all of
us. We're fortunate to have them with us. They did a great
job. Thanks to them. thanks Izmir + Turkey. We love you
all.

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.

To Whom It may Concern,
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!
I, and my family are so
appreciative of the wonderful memories we will keep from our
trip to your beautiful country of Turkey. I can’t wait to
return!!

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.

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 !!

John Arin Hasan and Tugrul
We had a wonderful time in Turkey and appreciate all that you
did for us.
We are sorry we were not able to connect with you John and
Arin directly, but we tried very hard. We did visit the
Potters House in Cappadocia and met Arins helper (What was his
name again?)
Tugrul was our tour guide in Kusadasi and we had a great time
with him. He went out of his way for us. He did tell us that
he was studying to learn more about Christian beliefs for his
tourism business. I told him that I would get with you and
see if you might have a good Bible reference that he could
have. Perhaps a Turkish/English one.
Hasan was our tour guide in Cappadocia and we stayed at his
Canon View cave hotel in Goreme. It was great and he and his
family and friends were good hosts and guides. We bought a
carpet from him as well. All our Turkish friends said that we
got a good price. We should have bought more. We also went
on a fantastic balloon ride with him.
We put some pictures on the web at:
If you can help us fill in any of the titles, that would be
great. I may get with you Hasan and Tugrul for more details.
Thanks again. We hope we get to come back and visit Turkey
again. There was much more we should have seen and done.
