Dear Cengiz,
Prior to writing this letter I started to search the thesaurus to find the perfect superlatives to describe the beauty and wonderful time we experience during our visit to Turkey.  Unfortunately, there are no words that can convey emotional feelings one gets as you travel throughout your beautiful country.  Just when you think nothing can compare to the last site the next one is even more impressive. To give you some indication of our two week trip, Cynthia and I took over 2,000 pictures and four video tapes each 60 minutes.  Trying to capture the essence of various ancient civilizations while trying to understand what life was like during those difficult times.  While traversing the ruins we felt like we had just step out of a time machine and was taking a causal stroll down Main Street.  What an amazing feeling to walk on stones worn down by the people and carts and to think of the hardships they had to endure.

My trip to Turkey was great. Thanks for all the good work you put into the arrangements. You did your job really well, especially when we had to alter our plans at the end due to the arrival of the president of Iran and the shut down of all the roads to the airport. Both guides were very knowledgeable and took us to all the places that were on the itinerary.

Dear Shebby:

I’m sure my mother will also be in touch, but I just wanted to let you know that both Erol and Bulat/Bill were absolutely fantastic guides in Istanbul and Kusadasi/Ephesus, respectively. Between them and your totally excellent service along the way, we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience in Turkey.

I wanted to thank you Shebby (PERA TOUR) for organizing my families wonderful day trip from Istanbul to Ephesus this month. I live in the U.S. and had contacted you on the online support at the end of June to see if you could organize a day trip from Istanbul, where we were going, to Ephesus for me and my family of five in July 2007. You said you could with a private guide.
