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 have arrived safely back in Canada and I just
wanted to write to thank you very much for the
service your company provided while we were in
Turkey. Our guide, also Mehmet (assuming not

and helpful in all ways. His tour of Ephesus was
very detailed and we enjoyed it very much. We
would recommend his services to anyone we know
who is travelling to Kusadasi.

We had a wonderful time on our tour of

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!

97-)Hi 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,

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

Thank you for a wonderful excursion, and for
exceeding my already high expectations! We got a
group together and booked with you instead of
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!

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.

79-) 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)

78-) 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.

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

We did enjoy our tour with you very much. I
found out about you from
www.cruisecritic.com and I was
already planning on giving a good referral for
you. We just arrived home late last nite and
have very good memories of our trip to
Turkey. Yalcin Ikizoglu did a very good job
explaining things to us and his English was the
best!! He probably had the best English of any
of our guides on the whole
trip. Thank you very much and I am hoping to get
some pictures to you soon. We just got home last

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 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

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

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

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

was a blessing to have comfortable,

They were both very friendly and entertaining

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

then we would have learned in a semester at

Hi Mehmet (James),
We (5 adults & 5 children) had a terrific guide
(Hassan) and were amazed at 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.

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
