VICTORIA SCHONFELD Dear Iffet, Thank you again for introducing us to your magnificent city. It was so fascinating and beautiful and haunting. And it was a true privilege to be guided by you. You are not only knowledgeable but truly caring. We all were so grateful to you. I have been talking to some friends about putting together a group for a biblical archeology tour. What mnths are the best for weather? We don't want a rainy trip nor one that is too hot |

EMMY SCHORR I wish to thank Peten Tourism again for the extraordinary tour of Northern Anatolia and Cappadocia. From the moment I landed, a day early, in Istanbul where I was greeted by Iffet with a bouquet of flowers, I realized Peten Tourism had a style all its own. As our small group moved through your beautiful countryside in a comfortable and spacious late model Mercedes van with its excellent driver, the careful planning of every detail in our itinerary became apparent. We experienced life in charming small villages located beyond the well beaten path without missing the sights in the major tourist centers; whenever possible we stayed in unique boutique hotels; every meal became a culinary adventure of local or regional specialties; the travel book prepared by your office became our reference every step of the way; and last but not least,our outstanding, knowledgeable guide never missed an opportunity to keep us immersed in the fascinating history, culture, past and present of one of the great cradles of civilization that is Turkey. |

IN THE FOOTSTEP OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT Colin, Mike and I are all home and comfortable after our amazing Alexander the Great adventure.Thank you so much for all your efforts in organising such a wonderful tour. I think you even arranged the weather! We did quite a bit of scrambling in the sunshine over less well known sites, which added to the enjoyment ( In retrospect at least!) This was a chance to visit places which had just been names in the history books.Gokhan's knowledge and enthusiasm added so much to our appreciation of our journey, not just in his archaeological expertise, but in the way in which he helped us to understand modern Turkey.We had memorable journey through Turkey. |
|
IN THE FOOTSTEP OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT Thank you for organising a most excellent tour which I personally enjoyed very much, and I think that I can say that for the other participants as well. |
|
MR&MRS SUZANNE & DAVID C ARCH We had an educational and enjoyable trip to your country. Your itinerary was excellent, Gokcen was very pleasant and informative, and the entire trip proved to be a memorable one. We surprised our friends when returning home by saying (independent of one another) that we enjoyed Turkey more than Greece… in spite of our time at the Olympics! We do plan on returning and exploring more of your country. |

COLM McNulty (WELLINGTON COLLEGE) I would just like to inform you how pleased we were with the service you provided on the Turkey leg of our First World War Battlefields trip. Our guide Ebru was excellent. She was helpful, very informative and very good company. We would be most anxious to avail of her services in subsequent trips. The hotel was first rate and most welcome after our long outward trip. The facilities were excellent and the rooms spacious and comfortable. The variety of food avaiable ensured that all tastes were very well catered for. The boat trip around Cape Helles to ANZAC cove was a significant highlight of our trip.I can assure you that we have every intention of using your company for our next trip.I have no hesitation in recommending your company . Please feel free to use my name as a teacher at Wellington College in your advertising. Thank you again Iffet and we shall be in contact in future. |

JEREMY STAFFORD-DEITSCH Turkey is so rich in spell-binding archaeological sites that the more you see the more you realise that you have only scratched the surface. For the second year running Peten Tours has smoothly arranged my complex itinerary - to world famous sites and to others equally intriguing if less well known, to sites that are relatively accessible and to others that are wonderfully, spectacularly remote. Thank you once again for having the in-house expertise, the professionalism and the flexibility to adapt to my requirements. |

MICHAEL HUGHES / STUDY TOUR " I am an archaeologist and recently was a participant on one of Peten Travel's archaeological tours, which was extremely well-organised, with expert guides, first-class hotels and an excellent service all round. Would thoroughly recommend the tours to anyone interested in ancient civilizations". |

MR&MRS B. LINDSAY What a wonderful trip we had and how much we thank you for organizing it all. Everything on the trip was terrific. We all loved Ebru – she was a perfect guide, very intelligent, well informed, and so pleasant to be with. She knew just how much information to give us. The itinerary was very good, the hotel a nice mix, the boat was very luxurious, the price was very good. Everyone we met on the trip was very pleasant and the service was always excellent. For me, I really appreciated the choice of all the restaurants especially where we ate lunches - they were very well chosen and the food was delicious. The restaurant the last day in Istanbul was a real treat. I know how much time it takes for you to organize all of this and I thank you very much. We have told all our friends how great our trip was and if they ever go to Turkey we will get them to contact you. |

SUZANNE&DON KOPAS We loved our time in Turkey. Many thanks for all your wonderfull plans. Hope to see you again. |
