- TT· May 7th, 2021I would say this was one of the best trips I've ever taken. Brilliant itinerary - Visited 9 Unesco wold heritage sites. The places we visited were truly breath taking. Fazli, the tour director/guide pulled together an amazing trip in the challenging environment during the pandemic in April 2021. He was the best, very knowledgeable and super dependable. Requests and questions before, during and after my trip were always welcomed with a courteous attitude, so called " Turkish Hospitality". He also knew the best restaurant in each place we visited which is a very important attribute as well. Everything was wonderful and hoping to come back to travel the Black sea and eastern Turkey with him in the near future.Show moreTrip date: March 2021
- GTGregory· November 4th, 2019Fazli was an excellent guide and manager of our Turkey vacation. The result of his efforts was the best vacation experience we have had in over twenty years and would highly to all family and friends planning their future vacations with him. In fact, we are planning to schedule a second eastern Turkey plus Georgia and Armenia trip with him in the near future. We cannot highly enough recommend his trips.Show moreTrip date: October 2019
