"This was our first private tour. It is definitely the way to travel. With our guide Ali, the experience for us was over the top. His knowledge of the old and new Turkey is commendable, we learned so much about each. The timing and pace he set for each day were just right."

"We really enjoyed traveling with Hasan. He has a wonderful personality, very professional, but also very friendly and personable. He accommodated all of our requests and was able to modify our itinerary on the fly when necessary. He introduced us to local people and had great recommendations for restaurants. Also, he knew how to get into places without getting stuck in long lines."

"Hasan was an exceptional guide. He not only had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of history, art, culture as well as modern events, but he was able to explain so much in an engaging yet intelligent manner. We felt as if we had completed a college course - but a riveting one!

"We had a marvelous trip from the minute we arrived at the airport to the end when we have to leave on the ferry to Rhodes. Rudy (Ridvan) the guide that was with us the whole time was fantastic. He made our trip into something that we will never forget. He was always there for us and went over and above our expectations. He was funny, helpful and very knowledgeable in history and architecture. He spoke great English. He took us to places that we would never imagine we would go to. We ate in restaurants that were local. We want to thank you and CTC Turkey for making this a very memorable and enjoyable trip. It was truly the trip of a life time!"

The gulet was a beautiful boat, the crew gracious, the chef talented, and the blue waters of Turkey's coast beyond description! Our guides, hotels, drivers and meals were all a pleasure. Thank you again for your services! We hope to go back someday!"

" Our guide Ridvan (Rudi) was astonishingly knowledgeable about history and culture, extremely bright and had superb communication and (most important) people skills. Best tour guide we have ever had in any country. "

" Typically, I am the one that handles the majority of the planning on big trips and am usually exhausted before we ever get going. Knowing nothing about Turkey, we left all the details up to CTC and the payoff could not have been better! It really was a once in a lifetime exceptional trip. Our guide, Hasan, really made the trip. The gulet cruise was another real highlight. The crew went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. The food was delicious - each meal was better than the last. I just can't say enough great things about the entire trip - start to finish, it was incredible! "

" We very much loved both tours that you set up for us. It was a real joy to be with Ooz! He seems to be quite briallant with a matching personality. His knowledge and enthusiasm of everywhere we went were more than excellent. Mary, we liked him so much that we wish he could have been at every stop our ship made so that he could have been our guide! We have already given your information out to some friends and would highly recommend you and your company to anyone that would ask!! In our experience (we have now been to 99 countries), the way you communicate with the client, the ways that you pay attention to detail, the guides that you employ, the itineraries that you use, the kindness & patience that you have when the client wants to tailor the trip, and many more attributes certainly stand you far apart from the common agencies that are in business. We just wish that you went to all of the other places that my husband and I still need to experience! Thank you, again, for everything! "
