Hi Pinar and Murat,

We are now back in our home in the US.  We really enjoyed our trip to 
Turkey and certainly your help made it possible.  The dinner in Urgup 
was definitely a highlight of the trip.

Thanks for all your help and I hope we stay in touch.

best regards

The priest told us at our wedding ritual that we’ve been sent to each other by God. If that is the case (which we have no doubt it is), then so were Murat and Pinar god-sent to us. Being an Asian-European couple, it was our dream to marry in the city of Istanbul. We took the brave decision to go ahead with the idea, but the prospect of organizing it from Cambodia where we live, seemed rather daunting. Until we found them, who turned out to be most reliable, responsible and at the same time friendliest wedding coordinators in Turkey. Every couple wants to have the special and best possible for their wedding and Murat and Pinar’s “project-wise”, personalized work admirably patiently accommodated our endlessly changing demands for the best. Every time we email a question on minute details or a request based on spontaneous ideas (which was almost every day during the three months of preparation), they would reply with assuring “No problem”, “It can be done”, and “That’s why you’re working with us.” They are indeed well acquainted with all the necessary procedures, and searched for well-suited venues throughout Istanbul. Not being based there was not a problem for this mobile, flexible couple at all. Thanks to all the good organization and information provided by them, we were well equipped with good knowledge and proper expectations by the time we arrived one week prior to our big day. Of course we made last minute changes – which were again well absorbed by our dear Murat and Pinar, always with such energy and smiles. By the end of all that, we have not only accomplished our dream wedding, but also have earned very special friends in Turkey.

Thank you Murat and Pinar once again!

Dear Pinar,

I, too, would like to add my voice and compliments to what Mary has
already written.  The trip exceeded our expections.  The guides were
excellent.  Your country is beautiful.  I hope to be back!

Best wishes,

Wanda

P.S.  And thank you for the sapling!

Hello Pinar from London Heathrow. Wanda and I had a wonderful trip - the
selection of sites to see and of guides to see them with was excellent. We
loved the Sultanahen Hotel and in fact snuck back there last night for one
more glass of wine on their beautiful top floor terrace. Our brief sojourn
at the Kismet Hotel on the coast was very refreshing. I will certainly
recommend you to my colleagues who plan to travel in Turkey. Many thanks.

Murat,
We had a wonderful time on the tour today! We had to start late because we did not anticipate how tired we would be after the balloon ride.
Ozkan is very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. He really taught us a lot about the region. We will certainly send recommend your service to any friends or family that come to Turkey.
Thanks again! All the best,
Greg

Marlene and I want to thank you both for making our trip to Turkey so enjoyable. As first time travelers to Turkey your expertise, attention to detail, understanding
of our needs, as well as providing us with insight and tips on how to get the most our of our time in Turkey make it possible for us to have a truly special vacation.

Even after reading about Istanbul, Cappadocia, and Ephesus and talking to friends whohave traveled to these destinations we would not been able to
sort through all of the logistics required to travel to three very different places and have everything work so smoothly. From travel in the interior, to lodging, where exactly
to visit, and even a selection or restaurants you were so very helpful.

Istanbul, one of the largest cites in the world, with its cultural diversity, geographical location on two continents, and even striking differences within
sections of the city can be somewhat daunting even to people who are used to travel foreign travel. We would not have begun to learn to love Istanbul
without the services of the guide you provided.

And then there is Cappadocia ! No traveler to Turkey should miss this strange and beautiful part of the world with all of its history dating from the beginning of time.
Even the most well traveled sophisticated visitors to unusual parts of the world will be amazed and delighted with Cappadocia. We took home with us a
far greater knowledge of the importance of this areas contribution to early civilization and its impact on this region of the world. The guide you provided
for us was easily the principle reason we were able to understand and enjoy our favorite journey in Turkey. Without your help with where to stay, and where to dine
and even such essentials as proper clothing, and understanding of the demands of the terrain we would have not been properly prepared without your guidance.

Ephesus was all we had hope it would be. A guide here was so important. To be in the hands of someone whose knowledge of this amazing cities history and
its importance in the early centuries AD was invaluable. As we strolled down the streets of Ephesus our guild constantly gave us a running commentary on
the importance of this city as the once great sea port of the ancient world, the great figures in Greek and Roman history who lived here and, of course,
to its connection to Christianity. There are routine guides and then there are guides of the highest caliber and you gave us the best !

We have already have had dinner with several friends who expressed an interest in travel to Turkey and we told them of the outstanding professional and
personal services you provide. You both are very special people who have a unique understanding of what will be of utmost benefit to your clients.

Marlene and I wish you all the best with all you future endeavors and should you ever visit in our area of the world we would love to have a chance to
demonstrate our appreciation.

Sincerely,
Karl and Marlene

Murat & Pinar,

Thank you for the holiday wishes. Greg and I hope you both had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. We just got back from the Bahamas for Christmas. We had such a lovely time in the warm weather. The children have been jealous of all our stories about Turkey. So much so, that we are thinking of doing a gullet trip with another family possibly in 2009. I will keep you posted on our plans so you can again assist us in our bookings. We have passed your name onto anyone interested in going to Turkey. We very much appreciated all your hospitality.
Cheers,
Nicole and Greg
 

Hi Murat and Pinar,

Just wanted to touch base with you over the holidays and hope that all is well in beautiful Cappadocial

I am enclosing a photo that I have meant to get off to you sooner and I will probably send you a couple of more in later days. We all talk constantly of Turkey and how much we miss it. 

 I would do anything to get back there again. 

Take care,

Kathy

Dear Murat
Greetings from Australia!
Belated thanks for looking after Anne and I so well during our visit to your
part of the world. Sorry for the delay in writing but Anne and I have been
flat out catching up with the kid's activities plus all of the accumulated
paper warfare which was waiting for us when we got home from the businesses
we operate.
We had an absolutely fantastic time in Turkey and we very much enjoyed your
great hospitality and for arranging everything for us and particularly at
such great rates.

I hope we have an opportunity to reciprocate sometime when you next visit
Australia!

I have attached a few photos of our trip I thought you would like to have.

The balloon flight is one Anne and I will never forget. You don't see that
close low level ballooning in too many parts of the world especially with
such spectacular scenery.

Thanks once again Murat and our regards to you and your beautiful wife.

Cheers
