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 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!

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

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

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!

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.
With kind regards,

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)
Ephesus Tours
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.

our itinerary, 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 time. It was more than we ever
expected and we will strongly recommend your services to anyone
we know who is traveling to Turkey.

This is our second visit and the terrace houses were a dramatic

We would be pleased to recommend you to friends and colleagues

Thanks once again for a great tour. Jengis Cenk was a terrific
guide who we would highly recommend. I just posted a thread on
cruisecritic and mentioned your agency. Here is a photo of our

of our cruise. My brother Steve will be posting something as
well. Best of luck to you and your guides.

We just wanted to let you know what a wonderful tour and tour
guide we had on our recent trip to Turkey. Six of us arrived on
the Splendour of the Seas on July 24 and we were met by Nadia
(Naciye) Otar. She was informative, funny and a wonderful
person. We had a great time with her and would highly recommend
her and your company to anyone going to Turkey. Taking a private
tour with you was the best way to see the sights!
Thanks for making our time in Turkey memorable.

Thank you so much for 3 wonderful tours in Turkey. We were very
pleased with Arzu (please pardon my spelling!) in Istanbul and
Turu in Ephesus. Both were very knowledgeable and their English

speedy responses to our questions via email. Your busses were
large and comfortable. It was a pleasure working with Samyeli

48-) Mehmet,
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.

Accept for unavoidable delays due to the ship/traffic, we had no
problems meeting up with our guides - very prompt. Thorough
coverage of tour sites. Very knowledgeable tour guides.
Friendliness of tour guides was exceptional - we especially
liked Nadia in Ephesus. The private tour group experience was
definitely superior to the ship's large group tours.
Thank you for making our visit to Turkey so memorable.

46-) Hi Mehmet,
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 ship. Thank you for your services and we wish
continued success in your business. Thank you to Fatih also.

Mehmet,
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 recommendation of your
services, and should someone want to contact me personally, I
would be more than happy to do so.
Please extend a warm thank you to everyone who made our
excursion and private tour a very memorable experience!!
Take care, November 27, 2006

Hello Mehmet
We enjoyed our tour with Cengiz very much. He was very
knowledgable and educated. His English was good. We feel as if
we got a very good history lesson on our trip to Ephesus. The

enjoyable and it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the
atmosphere of the 'real' Turkey. October 07, 2006

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.

We absolutely loved our tour of Ephesus with "Nadia" on October

She was very knowledgeable about Turkey & about Ephesus, and 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
cruise. As soon as I get a chance, I will write a review on

Dear Mehmet,
Thank you for your e-mail. Bill and I greatly enjoyed our tour
of Ephesus, Temple of Artemis and The Virgin Mary House.
Everything about it was perfect. Ibrahim and our driver were
promptly waiting for us at the airport and it was a blessing to
have comfortable, air-conditioned ransportation waiting for us.
They were both very friendly and entertaining tour
guides. Ibrahim was very knowledgeable 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 front door of the hotel we stayed at
in Kusadasi and recommended a restaurant for dinner. It was all
a great experience and a highlight of our whole trip. Sunday

We had an incredible vacation last month that included 7
countries—and we look back on our time in Turkey as a highlight
of the trip. We credit that to our guide Denis—who taught us
more about the history of the area in one day then we would have
learned in a semester at school. We were also made to feel
incredibly welcome—and for that reason we look forward to
returning to Turkey again in the future. Thank you for an
amazing day to remember! We would highly reccomend Samyeli

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. August 02, 2006

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 again.
