Rina and Suleyman.
I wanted to send my sincere thank you to both of you. Our trip was perfect. Suleyman was a superb guide and we really enjoyed each day with him. My mom is telling everyone they must visit Turkey and they must contact you if they do. We were so impressed with everyone and everything. Ankara worked out well although it was a little colder. My mom's tour guide was quite ok, but not Suleyman (in her words).
Anyway, thank you again for all of your hard work and please know that I will be back.

Hi Rina,
I wanted to write to thank you and Suleyman for a wonderful time in Istanbul. It was something I will always remember. Suleyman is so knowledgeable and it was a real treat to have him for 2 days to tell me all about your beautiful city. I have been highly recommending your company to my friends and colleagues that have asked me about my trip.
Hope this is finding you well. Cathryn |

Dear Rina --
I share your hope that we might meet sometime. My wife and son and daughter-in-law had a very enjoyable time with Suleyman, who is a veritable fountain of information and a model of patience.
I'm very impressed with your operation, and hope you grow and prosper. If you two ever get to Spokane, I'll give you a tour for free.

Dear Rina,
My chef Prof. Salzmann and I are really
very happy to have taken your travel
agency. Everything was prepared carefully
and well. The hotels, you have chosen,
were agreeable. The
chauffeur was a carefully driving person. Finally - you will expect - I was really happy to have my friend Ali with us, he was working like a lion all days (and half the nights). Altogether your arrangements have been perfect and I will give your address to all my
colleagues who want to travel with a group to Turkey. Thanks a lot also to your husband and I hope we keep in contact

Rina,
Thanks for the nice note. We enjoyed our trip very much and appreciate your efforts in arranging things. We would certainly consider visiting Turkey again (ah, those wonderful tomatoes! those glorious cheeses!), and would use your services again without
hesitation. Our best to Kunt and Mustafa. They are very fine fellows, and really made our
trip. Again, thanks for everything. If Anne should decide someday that she wants to go birding in Turkey, do you know of any guides who have expertise in this area?

Dear Rina,
I want to thank you for choosing a very lovely hotel for me and my sister. The young team who work in the hotel were so friendly and dynamic. Even the misunderstanding about my last day was solved by your agency for my
benefit, I found another beautiful hotel "Apricot" to stay at next time. Shortly, our trip was a sheer pleasure. We shall return.
Thank you again, for the beautiful hotel and tour package to
Cappadoccia.
Sincerely,

Thank you again for all of your help. I am already hoping that I can make the trip to Turkey again next year, I will be sure to ask you for help again. Thanks again

Dear Rina,
I have been meaning to write you. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the trip you arranged. Our favorite was perhaps Pergamon and the lovely little hotel where we stayed. It was very quaint, even if a bit outdated. Thank you for providing us with a rich learning experience and a fantastic introduction to coastal Turkey. We will be back!

have done without your expertise?! And on
top of it all, it was great fun to travel

All the best,
