Testimonials


The trip was absolutely wonderful – and that is almost an understatement!
Everyone had a great time and I know each member of the group will be giving glowing recommendations to others promoting your tour. We can’t see how you made any profit out of our group though, given the hotels, meals, entrance fees that were included. It makes excellent value for money… but you have to put your prices up or you’ll go broke! I don’t want to do any organized tours again as they won’t meet the standard of your tour!!

As for Turkey itself – it’s magical! I’ve travelled a lot but Turkey is up there as one of my all time favourite destinations. The Turks are very warm and friendly. Thank you so much again for providing such an outstanding tour of Turkey – it really was an unforgettable experience and such excellent value.

 I have travelled extensively over the past 20 plus years and the Living Turkey tour rates as one of my best travel experiences.  The itinerary featured an excellent selection of places, at a reasonable pace. It also included some great “off the beaten track” touring not offered by other companies. The accommodation, sightseeing, meals and service were of a consistently high standard and there were no hidden extras. The tour provided unbelievable value for money, unforgettable memories of the trip of a lifetime and a swag of different experiences as well as fun! Rating 12 out of 10! A big THANK YOU.

Just wanted to tell you what a wonderful holiday in Turkey we had.

Your tour was absolutely marvelous. We loved Turkey and the beautiful people in it. Bill and I have travelled extensively throughout over 30 countries in this world. Turkey and everything it has to offer is the best. It has everything. Your tour was tops. Our little guide was superb. One could not fault her. She added a lot to our trip and nothing was a trouble to her.

I will thoroughly recommend your company and Turkey as the best ever destination and company, believe me we have travelled with quite a few over the years.  Thank you once again for the most memorable, exciting, exquisite holiday of a life time.

Dawn and Bill

We are having a wonderful time.  Although we appear to have different reasons for holidaying in Turkey, I think all eight of us are having our expectations well and truly met and even surpassed.  In particular, I am ecstatic to see evidence of advanced ancient civilizations when my own forbears (Celts and Franks) were mere nomadic hunter/gatherers.

Our guide is an absolute wealth of information as well as being very relaxed and \"laid back\" - an eminently suitable tour guide for a group of (very noisy) middle-aged Aussies.  Suleyman, our driver, had invited us to his place, for Bayram.  I don\'t know what his long-suffering wife must think (she doesn\'t see him very often), but we are thrilled and honored to receive the invitation.

The weather has been fabulous - not too hot, not too cold - and that helps make for a happy holiday.

Thank you for your organization of the “Living Turkey” tour. The itinerary was just amazing, very comprehensive and very capably led by Huseyin. Overall the accommodation, meals and the tour represented excellent value. Thanks again.

Trish

Top class guide, driver, coach, hotels, food, group.  Ancient history from Bible times comes alive in Turkey.

Peg & Vic

We want to let you know personally how much we enjoyed your tour and how amazing Turkey is, much more than we ever expected. You are to be commended on putting together such a marvelous tour, covering so much in a short time but giving us a taste of many places and a yearning to go back one day.  I will be recommending your tour plus Turkey as a must for all our friends. We were fortunate also to have had an excellent guide who was more than just a guide but took care of many personal things required from some of the group.

We loved Turkey, the people, so much history and you should be very proud of your country.  We would love to return again one day in the near future and so pleased we took your tour as it was fantastic. I am now enjoying unpacking my souvenirs (my favourite purchase a musical spinning Dervish dancer!).

Jim and Devere

Just to let you know what a wonderful trip we had. The reasons we travelled to Turkey were: to see the country and its people, for photography, to see its history and enjoy the company and ourselves. The tour certainly provided all of this. Travel arrangements, transfers, coach and driver were all excellent.

Hotels were as good or better than we expected. All in all a wonderfully planned trip. Wonderful country and people with a tour voted by all as the most. Again thanks for all the attention and effort into making this a most memorable trip.

Peter

What can I say! It has been a wonderful trip. This country and the people are the best. Also our guide is so patient and kind. We have felt very safe with our driver.

Carol & David

Many thanks for the absolutely fantastic tour of Turkey we had! You have introduced us not only to the rich history, culture and traditions of the country, but also its natural beauties and lovely and most friendly Turkish people. Turkish food, tea, coffee and raki become our favourites and lovely Turkish music is now part of our home.

I need to make special comment on our tour guide (and now our friend) Huseyin. His knowledge, organization ability, humour and people skills made a really huge impact on our holiday. He is a real ‘gem’ and we will always remember him with fondness and appreciation.

Once more, many thanks from my wife and myself.

The hot air ballooning at Cappadocia had a very efficient and safe pilot. A wonderful experience.

Linda

Well organized and varied trip. So much to see and do. Great value. Love everything about Turkey.

Ethne

We loved this trip and consider it to be the best place we have ever visited and did things we never thought possible e.g. ballooning over Cappadocia. We thank you for this great opportunity we have had.

Marcia

I still can’t take the smile off my face. It was an absolutely wonderful trip. Some fantastic memories I shall treasure, of places and friendships. Linda had been in Europe for 4 weeks and said that at no stage of the trip did they have a guide anywhere near as good as yours. In fact their tour guide always handed them over to a local guide at every site. She was amazed at the extensive knowledge and ability he had as a tour guide.

We were lucky in every respect as we also had a top class driver who always made us feel safe. He was obviously very experienced and no matter how difficult some situations were he always handled them with calm and professionalism. Each day all of our lives were in the hands of this good man and he took on the responsibility with great care and kindness.

I don’t know why people never seem to talk about Turkey as a tourist destination when it is such a great country to visit and tour.

Rosemary

Great trip, good value and some very nice hotels.

Gordon & Carol

The tour is excellent – very well balanced so that there is a good mix of ancient sites and relaxing beach visits. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and I would happily recommend Turkey as a wonderful holiday location and would encourage anyone considering a holiday there to take your tour as I do believe it represents good value for money.

Nerina & Josef

We are having a ball, beautiful country, great friendly people, wonderful tour with excellent guide and very careful driver.

Peter & Marion

We are having a magic trip. Turkey is a beautiful country, the people are friendly, food is great. Will certainly recommend this trip to friends.

Colin & Linda

A fascinating country, magnificent scenery, warm people and delicious food. An excellent itinerary and some great hotels.

Jill & Peter

I can’t speak too highly of our guide and driver. The guide had all of the attributes which make an excellent guide. A good sense of humour, the ability to provide information at the sites without lecturing for lengthy periods and then allowing the group time to move around in their own time and then providing follow up information based on individual questions.

The guide had always a smile, was ever ready to assist with access to luggage if required at stops.They both worked well as a team and made the tour most enjoyable and relaxed.

Stan

Thank you for organising such a great tour of Turkey for us. I found the guide to be one of the best tour guides we have had over the years we have travelled. He made Turkey really become a “Living Turkey” for us and we would recommend this tour to anyone.

Carol

I knew something of the history of Turkey but had no idea of the extent of sites of interest and ancient civilizations covered. Thank you for introducing us to your wonderful country and its people.

 Back a week now and back to normal routines. We would like to thank you for what was a great three week trip through a varied range of towns, sites and scenic regions of western Turkey. We thoroughly enjoyed each aspect, and every day. The people, the food, the history, and the beauty of the country in general, all were enlightening and welcoming to see. Gallipoli was the draw card for me; every other day was a surprise bonus. Thanking You
