IN QUEST OF THE CLASSICS

I've been in the travel industry for 31 glorious years, and until I organized (with the invaluable help of Sina
and Danytur) my first fam trip to Turkey (in October 2001) I thought Ireland was the ultimate fam
destination! Did I (and all those who went with me) get an eye-opener! Turkey is brilliant! The sights, the
food, the value, and (most important) the genuine warmth and hospitality of the people... just amazing.
And the 3 days of sailing along the Turquoise Coast in those gulets... WOW! The October 2001 trip was
such a success that Sina and I immediately organized a second fam for May 2002, and this one turned
out to be even more spectacular as it included Cappadocia - an area not visited in October. Once again,
every small detail went off to perfection and I cannot say enough about our guide (Cemil), the crew on the
gulets (especially the cooks!), the staff of Danytur, and the dedication to detail of Sina Danyal. We are
already planning a third fam in May 2003, and I cannot wait to escort it.

I could not recommend the services of Danytur more warmly. I had the chance of experiencing a fam
trip to Istanbul and Antalya and it was a wonderful trip. Our guide was extremely interesting, giving us
great historical and current information about what we were visiting and his country. Meals and hotels
were excellent, and we enjoyed a memorable day aboard a gulet. I've been longing to return to Turkey
ever since and visit more of this fantastic country. We felt extremely safe and elcome throughout our tript.

INDIVIDUAL GUESTS

Las vacaciones en Estambul han sido realmente agradables. Querría agradecer el servicio prestado por DANYTUR y en especial el trabajo de TINA MISIEL. Su profesionalidad y simpatía han dejado muy alto el pabellón de Danytur, el de Estambul y tambien el de Turquía. Muchas gracias.

Abro este mensaje, felicitando el desempeño de nuestra guia Sandra Karahov, quien ademas de un pleno dominio de la historia de Turquia, tiene un especial carisma para tratar con los visitantes, habla bastante bien el español y tiene un caracter muy agradable; mi familia y yo quedamos muy satisfechos con su desempeño profesional y personal; por lo anterior, quiero expresarle a Usted mi agradecimiento por el eficiente servicio que nos ha proporcinado; espero que haya otra oportunidad de coincidir. Atentamente.

We so enjoyed our time in Turkey and our beautiful yacht. The crew were so kind to us and our children and we enjoyed every minute. Perhaps if we do another trip next year we would like to do an alternate route and would like to spend more time on the shore in the evenings at the local restaurants. But as this was our first time we found the whole experience memorable. The coastline we saw was quite beautiful - you certainly have a very picturesque country. Thanks to you too for making our time so special. We will pass your details on to our friends and hope to return again soon. With Kindest Regards

We returned and have often talked about what a wonderful time we had and how much we enjoyed having you as our guide. You were so patient with us, and we learned so much about the history that has taken place in Turkey. Our trip was truly a life-altering experience. Many thanks to you…

All the services received were outstanding. The guides were all tremendously courteous, efficient and well educated. Without exception they really made the difference in our trip. The Captain and his crew were fantastic!!!! They were so kind, service oriented, the food was tremendously outstanding!!! We are back and absolutely had the time of our life.....Our Gullet trip was the best, the crew was wonderful, the food outstanding, and the weather, perfect. Our tour guide, Zesar couldn't have been nicer..so caring, concerned and willing to help us in any way possible...He is a lovely man and I think that you could recommend him to any one. He really knows his history and his way around town.....A great guy. We all loved him. You did such a great job putting this trip together for us...there were no glitches. We will certainly promote you to our friends.

We had a limited time in Turkey & we wisely booked a whirlwind 3 day trip with Danytur, which we enjoyed immensely. Our trip included the Pamukkale terraces and Hieropolis, and then on to Bodrum by car. Each of these places was breathtaking in its own way and we'd recommend visiting them. It was a bonus to have such a well qualified and personable guide in Gokhan - he was very good company and made us feel like his guests rather than customers,

Thank you Gokhan for sharing your knowledge and love of your homeland with us

We do indeed have very fond memories of our trip to Turkey. We want to return to see more of the country. We have been telling all of our friends how wonderful Turkey and the Turkish people are. If any of them decide to visit Turkey, we will certainly put them in touch with you. Thank you again for helping to make our visit so wonderful.
Best,

I have had the pleasure of being on two separate trips to Turkey and was fortunate enough to have Danytur as my host. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. The itineraries were educational as well
as relaxing. The hotels were always in very convenient locations. The vehicles were clean, spacious and comfortable. I can't stop talking about the wonders of Turkey. It is definately on the top of my list of favorite destinations. Thank you Danytur for making all of my Turkish experiences so special and memorable.

Various letters from our quests

What a fantastic country! Thank you so much for the wonderful tour of Turkey you set up for our family. Fikret is a SUPER guide and we were overwhelmed with all there is to see and do in this awesome country. We all had a fabulous time and agree that this was the best vacation ever!

Mary Margaret Hammond - Falls Church, Virginia / USA

“At 9am on a Sunday morning we asked our guide if it would be possible to cancel our 2 nd night in Pamukkale and add an extra night at the Kismet Hotel. By 5pm , we were settled into two delightful rooms at the Kismet. Typical of the way we were treated in Turkey – a truly memorable trip!”

B.A. - Vancouver , B.C. / USA

“Gokhan was wonderful. We could not have dreamed of a more qualified, knowledgeable or charming guide. Really, everything was beyond our expectations.”

J.L. - New York , NY / USA

Just a note to thank you and let you know that our tour today of the Jewish sites of Istanbul was excellent. Gulden is a superb guide and a very knowledgeable and pleasant person and we all very much enjoyed our day with her. We hope to have an opportunity to use your company and Gulden again in the future.

Paul Weinbaum – N.Y. / USA

I would like to thank you for the well organised guided tour. Everything was perfectly planned; the guide was really professional and eager to answer all the questions during the tour. Hopefully, in the future we will ask again for your services.

Ali, I just wanted to write you and thank you so much for all your kindness and help during my trip to your wonderful country. I also wanted to thank you so much for your extra help in getting me back to the United States during my sister's illness. Because of your help I was able to see my sister for a few days before she died. Thank you Thank you. Ali, we have all decided that you must be the very best tour guide in the world. Your kind disposition and friendliness was just wonderful and it made our trip very interesting and enjoyable. I'm really glad we had you for our guide. My very best regards to you. I'm sorry I missed meeting your family. I hope your Holidays are good and filled with love. Your forever grateful friend,

The 1-day private tour you arranged for me on Tuesday, August 23 was excellent - thanks to Cemal, the
expert tour guide whose last name I unfortunately forget. He was incredibly knowledgeable, very pleasant,
and professional. His English was excellent - in fact better than what most Americans speak... We not only
went to the important tourist sites, but visited some lesser-known spots which were equally beautiful and
special. Please extend to him my thanks. I highly recommend him for future private tour requests you
receive. Private tours are an important alternative to bus tours - particularly for professionals visiting
Istanbul such as myself. We may be there for work, but of course want to save some time to see the city's beautiful sites. As well, we prefer to see less, but spend more time at each site, so that we can learn as
much as possible. Finally, I think there is demand for private tours for women, particularly professionals.
We turn to the internet for information because there is little time to do advance research. Faced with a
large unfamiliar city and language difference, we feel much more comfortable seeing the sites and learning
our way around when we can do so at our own pace with a trustworthy guide.

Sincerely,
Shaazka Beyerle

No he tenido ocasion, ya que a mi regreso de Turquia he estado de vacaciones, pero quiero comunicarte que el viaje se ha desarrollado sin problemas y con gran satisfaccion respecto al guia.

Have just returned to work after our holiday overseas. The yacht charter was fantastic. The Captain and
crew were professional but also friendly and helpful. They ensured our trip was a memorable one. The food was fabulous. We will certainly be planning another trip some time in the future. It was a truly memorable
experience and the boat/ship/gullet whatever they are called was in top condition. Many thanks for your
help in organising this. Regards and best wishes

3 day incentive program ( Istanbul ) / July, 2005

I got home from the airport only a couple of hours ago… As I hope you realized … I personally think of
you as friends because of the absolutely wonderful service you all gave us right up to the very end of our
stay in Istanbul (Ali probably told you of the problem that suddenly appeared on our way to the airport and
how he helped us with that, too)... Elena and Sina: I was just telling my family how wonderful Istanbul is. I
hope to be able to go back with my husband to enjoy the many wonders of Turkey in a more relaxed way.
But no matter how many times I return to Turkey , last week will always be unforgettable to me thanks to
your efforts, your professionalism and your excellent standards of service. Please give my warm regards
and my sincere thanks once again to Ali, who was incredibly efficient and charming from the first to the last minute of our visit.

Best regards to all!
