What some of our guests said after they toured with us
Dear Fevzi
I am just writing to say thank you for your company's excellent service on our recent trip to Turkey. We travelled on The Celebirty Century on September 14 visiting Kusadasi and simply booked the transfer to Ephesus option. Nourdin met with us at the port terminal and provided an excellent service throughout the morning. We could not have been happier with our visit.
Thanks to your team and Nourdin.
Regards

Our time in Turkey was amazing. We would certainly recommend your services to anyone.
Our time in Turkey was amazing. We would certainly recommend your services to anyone.
The Ephesus tour guide (Zee) was by far our favourite guide during our entire Cruise. Extremely knowledgeable, very enthusiastic and flexible to our desires. Anyone visiting the Port of Kusadasi and has any interest in history needs to visit Ephesus. Do not skip the Terrace Houses during the tour, it made the tour.
Istanbul was fabulous. Our only regret was having only a few hours to spend at the Grand Bazaar. An entire day could be spent in the Bazaar. Our Tour Guide, Nazla was a walking encyclopaedia.
Thanks for your services.

Hello Fevzi
I have been meaning to write and let you know that the tour provided on Sept 14 was excellent in every way. I believe it was the highlight of our two week trip for my parents. I am still amazed that the guide and his assistant managed to maneuver my Mum, in her wheelchair, through the complete tour of Ephesus.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and will not hesitate to recommend your company.
Thank you very much
Hilary
Dear Fevzi,
Alan & I were definitely impressed with your services and, most especially, with the two BEST guides with whom we have ever had the pleasure of touring.
Both Oscar and Omar were so interesting and, in addition, so much fun to be with that they made our experience in Ephesus and Istanbul truly unforgettable.
Hopefully, one day soon, we will be able to return to see and learn more about your beautiful country.
When we returned, I immediately called my travel agent (who arranged this wonderful trip for us) and highly recommended you and your agency to her. If you ever need references, please feel free to have any of your customers contact me. Just tell them to put your name in the Subject Matter, just in case it goes into my "JUNK" mail.
Monica Polikoff
Hello,
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the private tour arranged through your company. Our guide was excellent and the assistant for my wheelchair bound husband was fantastic. We will certainly visit Turkey again and will not hesitate to employ your services again.
Thank you so very much.
Please feel free to use me as a reference if the need should arise.
Thanks

Dear Fevzi,
Dear Fevzi,
We have nothing but praise for your arrangements in Kusadasi/Ephesus. Victor(?) was there waiting for us on the quay with our name, walked to our car, and with the driver took us to Ephesus, not wait no aggravation .He presented us with a beautiful book of Ephesus , and a cap and filled us in on what we were about to see. We arrived within 20 mins., all entrance fees had been paid, no waiting in queues- we simply strolled down the old streets studying the booklet, and met him again as previously arranged some 2 ½ hours later. He was willing to take us the surrounding interest spot until our time with him was up.
We paid in dollars for the visit, which we saw as big plus. Well done Victor, well done Ephesus shuttle! We have already began to tell everyone , what a great service you give!
Thanks again, you help make our trip,
Ron Sivan
Hello Fevzi,
We're finally caught up with ourselves after a wonderful visit to your part of the World. We truly enjoyed our trip to both Turkey and Greece, it was very short so we crowded a lot into the visit. Now we can view our pictures and further enjoy where we've been.
Thanks to you and "Z" the highlight of our trip was Ephesus and the sights of Kusadazi in general. All of us decided in retrospect that we should have extended our stay in Turkey and gone to Istanbul as well. I guess that means another visit in the future for us.
Fevzi, again I want to express my appreciation for your special attention given to the four of us while in Kusadazi. You made the difference in the quality of the sites we visited. Please pass along our thanks to "Z" as well, she was not only very knowledgeable but personable and showed a keen sense of humor in her presentation.
Take care and I hope this finds you well and happy.
Regards,
Glenna
We had an amazing tour. Our tour guide and driver were very knowledgable, professional and timely. Our fellow cruisers were quite jealous when we told them about our private experience at Ephesus.

We are very thrilled that we found you. We would like to come back and tour Instanbul and other parts of Turkey at some point. We will keep you and our guide in mind.

We wanted to let you know that we were so impressed with Omer. He was so knowledgeable, efficient and personable and we appreciated all of the additional effort he made to make our visit enjoyable.
Thank you for Omer. At every opportunity that we have to either make another trip to your wonderful country or refer friends we will personally request Omer who has proven himself an outstanding travel guide.
Good morning!
We just wanted to follow up with you about our recent tour of Ephesus. I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your tour. The guide you provided (I apologize I cannot remember her name!) was absolutely fantastic. She was extremely knowledgable and personable. It was a great day and a great service. I will be sure to recommend your company to other cruisers.
Thanks again,
Lydia and Tim
Dear Fevzi,
We enjoyed you tour very much. It was also so very good of you to include our new tour mates. They were very happy with the van, the tour and our guide. I can't remember his name, I think Emir??? He was so informative and very learned about Ephesus and your country. He was also ready to answer all of our questions.
Rest assured that if we are fortunate to travel to Turkey again, we will be calling on you. We will not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone going to your country.
Thank you again for the wonderful tour!
With fond memories,
Barbara
Hello. We are very pleased with the services. Our guide, Hakan, and our driver were very professional and polite. Hakan was especially knowledgeable and very willing to share Turkish life and culture.
My husband and I are both members of travel advisors and cruise critic and will definitely recommend your tour company. We enjoyed our trip and the hospitality shown to us by our host and the rest of the Turkish people. We will welcome another opportunity to visit your country again.
Yours truly,
Sergey and Jocelyn Gantman
Dear Nursen KENDIR,
I have just returned from my trip and wanted to share my feedback regarding Ephesus Shuttle and Mrs. Yelda Celik as our tour guide. Without question, this is one of the best guided tours I have ever taken. Everything was perfect! The pickup in Izmir port was smooth and on time. Yelda and the driver were prompt and waiting for us when we departed the ship. Mrs Yelda Celik was so detailed in the information she provided regarding the background information of your beautiful country. Her information regarding the tour stops (Virgin Mary house, Ephesus, Temple of Artemis) was just the right amount of information and background. Her english speaking skills were great and she took the time to ensure she answered any questions. In addition, the car was very comfortable and the driver was very courteous and professional. Overall, a great tour and a great company to work with. I especially appreciated the willingness to work with me in avoiding the carpet demonstrations. Yelda was very good about asking us the types of things we were interested in and took us to a leather factory as an alternative. Also, the restaurant recommended for lunch was great. Food was delicious. Please share this feedback with Yelda and your driver. I will be sure to recommend your company to all my friends and family in the future. I was a bit hesitant at first since there was not much information about Ephesus Shuttle on the Cruise critic web site but as it turned out I had nothing to worry about. Keep doing what you are doing and being so flexible in working with your clients. I think this will only continue to make loyal and satisfied customers. I will also share my positive feedback about your company on Cruise Critic website. Thanks again for a wonderful tour and making our vacation so special. Ephesus and Turkey are wonderful places to visit and we look forward to returning to your country soon!

Leigh Yap
Thanks so much for making our trip to Ephesus so interesting.
Orkan was a wonderful guide and made the whole day very informative. I particularly enjoyed my "shave" at the barber shop.

Everything went off on schedule and as planned and we believe your tour was excellent value for money relative to what our friends that took tours from the ship were charged. We had a driver and private guide at a price considerably less than they were charged for a group tour with about 10 people.
We also used Curio in Istanbul and again were very happy with our guide around the City for the day.
We would have no hesitation in recommending your company to fellow travelers in the future.
Again, many thanks for making all of our arrangements.

Hi,
Hi,
Sorry I'm so late with this reply, but I've been out of town and just got back into my email. I do want to say that the tour--and our guide, Hakim, were both wonderful. Hakim was on time and extremely knowledgeable about Ephesus. He was so enthusiastic and friendly--a great cheerleader for Kusadasi, Ephesus, and Turkey. We were able to enjoy and learn much about Ephesus, even though it was a rather crowded venue that day,
because Hakim was able to maneuver the six of us around the large tour groups with great finesse. We enjoyed the comfort of the minibus--very new, clean, and air conditioned. Hakim took us to the school where girls were being trained to make Turkish rugs, and two of the couples bought beautiful rugs that day. I would definitely recommend this tour--and Hakim--to others. It was our first trip to Turkey, but we hope to get back some day.

Hi
Hi
Sorry for the late reply. Our trip to Kusadasi was above all the ports our favorite. Our Tour guide was very knowledgeable and it was great to be on a private tour. The trip to Sirince was absolutely wonderful. The food was all delicious. We originally had not planned a tour in Kusadasi. But we booked it the last minute, from seeing a banner advertisement on cruise critic. I am so glad we did.Everything was perfect and we will definitely recommend your tour company. The customer service was "superb"!!!
Thank you again for making a holiday a great success!
Tara and Phil
Mr. Turhan,
Mr. Turhan,
We want to thank you for the wonderful tour you provided us of Ephesus, Terrace Houses, Sirence Village and Artemission Temple. Thank you, also, for accomodating a couple of our newly found friends on short notice. Our guide, Emre, and driver, Mileh, provided outstanding and courteous services! We asked Emre to try to keep us out of the crowds and sun and he exceeded our expectations. His knowledge of the sites and area and command of our English language were noteworthy. But his big challenge came at lunchtime when we asked him to provide an array of local favorites for us to enjoy in lieu of individual luncheon plates. His selections couldn't have been better. I would highly recommend offering that approach to other tourists who are maybe a little more adventurous.Again, thank you for making our time in your beautiful and interesting country special. We will highly recommend you to our friends.
Sincerely, Gary I. Luloff
Dear Fevzi
Our personal guide Tan was wonderful and we had a enjoyable day in Turkey, so much so that we will someday return for another visit! We greatly appreciated Tan's knowledge of history and the insights he provided regarding all of the sites he showed us.
Thank you for the excellent service!

Dear Fevzi Turhan,
Dear Fevzi Turhan,
Our experience was phenomenal. We travel extensively and our guide was one of the most knowledgeable and well prepared guides we have had the pleasure to meet. Our small group leader on the Crystal Serenity, recommended that I contact you for a private tour for my husband and myself. I would happily recommend your company to friends who plan to visit Turkey especially because you responded to my e-mail so promptly and confirmed our plans at the same time. I have forwarded your company info along to the travel agent we use regularly as well.
Thank you all again for making our trip to Ephesus so memorable from the pick-up to the drop-off.
Best regards,
Maureen Weisner
Dear Fevzi Turhan,
Dear Fevzi Turhan,
We had a wonderful tour of Turkey. We saw many amazing sights on our eastern Mediterranean cruise, but I have to say Turkey was the highlight and the tour given by Ms Nahide was a huge part of that. Thank you so much for making it happen. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to our friends that if they’re planning to visit Turkey that they contact you and Ms Nahide .
Thanks again, Dennis and Laurie Brooke
Fevzi,
The tour you provided was one of the best that I ever took. Our tour guide, Fatih Albaglar, was awesome. He spoke excellent English, gave us tons of great information, was proud of his country, and was very flexible. The convenience of the tour was impressive, it was nice to get picked up and dropped off right outside the terminal and have our own driver. Thanks again, the tour with Fatih was very memorable, please thank him again.

We arranged for a number of private tours during our most recent trip to Greece and Turkey, but your Ephesus Shuttle tour was by far the best of them all. Your driver and tour guide, Emre, met us where we
disembarked from our cruise ship right on time. The bus was very comfortable and the driver was terrific. Emre did a wonderful job pointing out the sights to us on the way to Ephesus.
The tour of Ephesus was incredible. Emre walked with us, pointing out important sites and giving us historical facts and background we could not have gotten if we toured the ruins by ourselves. He is very
bright, very personable, easy to talk to and our tour was so much better because of him.
In short, our experience with Ephesus Shuttle was terrific - 5 stars - and we would highly recommend your services to anyone and everyone. Please feel free to use these comments on your website or anywhere else you think it would help your business.

Hi ,
We loved our tour with Becko today ! Thanks to his quick thinking we avoided all the crowds at Ephesus and
had a wonderful time at Miletus and Didyma.
Compared with other passengers who went with the ships' tour, we had a much better time !
We also liked very much the lunch stop at Seven Sleepers which was such a nice touch in addition to seeing
some of the less touristy regions.
We appreciated Becko for his patience and vast knowledge which he shared so willingly with us.
Thank you very much for a fantastic tour and we cant stop recommending your services to other passengers on our cruise.
Regards,
Barbara
Fevzi,
We had a wonderful tour and both the guide and the driver were outstanding. I will highly recommend your services to my friends when they are visiting Kusadasi.
Dear Fevzi,
I just wanted to thank you for making our Turkey trip so marvelous--everything you planned went beautifully. We both fell in love with your country, and if I ever return, I will definitely contact you immediately.
THANK YOU!
Cheers

Hi fevzi,
Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with our guides in Izmir and Istanbul. They were so knowledgeable. They made our 2 days in Turkey the most memorable. If we ever return to Turkey we will be sure to contact you. Thank you for running such a professional and pleasant tour.
Dear Mr. Turhan,
It's been two months since you arranged our day tour in Kusadasi. I've been wanting to write you to tell you how much we enjoyed our short stay there. It was so nice to meet you there at the dock. We could immediately tell we were well taken care of. The van was nice and very roomy and our guide, was amazing. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. His love of Turkey was very apparent and very infectious. If you have an email address for him I'd appreciate it. We were all so impressed with your beautiful country and would like to return again someday soon. If we do we will definitely call you to make the arrangements. We have friends who travel quite a bit. We'll be sure to tell them about you. Again, thank you for a wonderful trip. Good luck in all you do!
Sincerely,
Sandra
Fevzi,
We just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for your service. We had an incredible time in Turkey. Our guide, Emre, was wonderful! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and interesting. He really made our day one of the best stops of our cruise! The vehicle and driver were perfect as well! It was spotless ( like new), huge ( fit all 6 of us very well), and comfortable ( air conditioned!!).. Driver great....we felt comfortable and safe the entire time. Thank you so much again.
Hello:
we enjoyed our tour a lot and our guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all our questions and had interesting facts to share. we thought the tour was very good value and would recommend you to anyone going to Turkey. Thank you
Sincerely,
Jody
Excellent value on the tours. We liked both of our tour guides (Ephesus & Istanbul) and couldn’t possibly have seen as much without them. The tour included all elements of the itinerary and the payment went smoothly
We enjoyed our vist tremendously. The guide we had was fantastic and the service was superb, I would reccomend your agency without hestitation
Thanks again
Fevzi, we have been so busy since returning from our cruise I forgot to write to tell you that both of your guides were Excellent! We all enjoyed the enthusiasm and professional knowledge of Sadat in Istanbul. Our day was short in Euphesus as our daughter got sick in the heat at the ruins but your team was very attentive and flexible. I will not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone we know going to Turkey. We hope to visit again in a few years and will certainly let you know.
