Yasar, I promised to write on our return to the U.S. and I apologize for the delay. I want to thank you for arranging and executing a terrific tour of Turkey for my wife and I as well as the Fabians. You’re scheduling, choice of sites, hotels and restaurants was wonderful; the guıdes, Ayşe and yourself were informative and helped make our trip so special. I would have no hesitation recommending you and your company to anyone travelling to Turkey and we look forward to visiting Turkey again with your help. I hope all is well. One favor, Ayşe promised to email to us a list of all the sites we visited and as yet we have not received it, many thanks.

Dear Mr. OZDEMIR
As you know, over the past 14 years I have directed a number of study abroad programs in Turkey for my graduate students here at the school of Architecture. We have had many good trips, but the arrangements you made for us were the best we have experienced in so arrangements you made for us were the best we have experienced in so many ways that they will remain in memory. The students, my wife and I are particularly grateful for the personal care and attention that went into every aspect of the trip. You were outstanding in your experience, knowledge and interest in facilitating our students and solving problems even before the appeared.
Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I anticipate Turkey 2003 and working with you on making that trip as successful as the last one. In the meanwhile, I will recommended you with enthusiasm to anyone I meet who wants to travel in Turkey.
Warmly regards,
William BACHHOEFER, FAIA, Professor and Director of UNIVERCITY OF MARYLAND
Recently, I had pleasure of bringing a group to Turkey from the United States. I`ve taken groups to other places and have used a number of different tour companies. Nothing has compared to the quality of service of Esendal Tours. Our trip was superbly organized. We stayed at top hotels, traveled in a comfortable, modern bus, ate in wonderful restaurants, and enjoyed an amazing itinerary – all very well – planned by Esendal Tours. Our guide, Yasar OZDEMIR, made our travel experience extraordinary. His depth of knowledge, both of the sites we visited and of the English Language, was impressive. He made sure, each step of our journey, that we were well taken care of and that the group had a trip of a lifetime. I plan to bring other groups to Turkey in the years to come. I can`t imagine traveling around Turkey any other way than exclusively with Esendal Tours.
Sincerely,
Sandra BARNARD, FULL SPECTRUM HEALING _ USA - DIRECTOR

Dear Yasar,
Sorry that it has taken me so long to write and tell you what a marvelous tour Craig, Carla, Leonard and I had. You were such a great tour guide and companion! We all agreed we had a guide so knowledgeable and so attune to all our needs. We really cannot thank you enough. We would recommend you and your company to anyone planning a trip to Turkey and hope to make a return trip ourselves. I would like to write a letter to your Company, Carrefour Tours, to tell them how excellent a guide you are, but I don`t have an address for them. You can either show them this letter or send on to me their address. I came home to my son`s wedding in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A very busy time but wonderful in all respects. We all enjoyed a trip to Hawaii in February and are now looking forward to Carla`s son`s graduation from College in May.
Please write us and tell us how you getting along.
Again, thank you so very much for your wonderful care for us. Hope our pats cross again!
Sincerely,

Dear Yasar,
Where did the time go, since we returned from Istanbul? I have been so busy – but I am sorry that I didn`t email you earlier.
We were all so happy with our trip to Turkey; and I want to thank you for all the care and trouble that you took, to make sure that we were well looked after, and that we saw as much as possible. Everyone in our party was very conscious of the love and care that you had for us… it goes much further than just ordinary friendly tourism, you made us feel that we had been good friends for a long time. This is very rare, and I want to thank you personally; we also shared some quiet time together, and I will not forget this.
We are just leaving for France and Germany (I will be singing in Berlin) … we hope that the weather will not be so bad, we had rain here almost continuously for the last 3 weeks.
If ever you come to UK, please make contact with me, you will be welcome here (and it does not always rain!).
With best wishes,
Gren HATTON
Dear Yasar,
I like to thank you for your care concerning the both Avon Groups during their stay in Istanbul.
Mrs. Prodanova has sent to me e-mail with her evaluation of the trip: Trip to Istanbul was very pleasant. Everything was perfectly prepared, but on the request of the participants of the group the time schedule has been changed flexible. The ladies enjoyed a good food in Istanbul, nice guide and pleasant atmosphere here. There was only one little unpleasant fact- the weather. There was rainy… but nobody can influence the weather. The ladies arrived back to Prague with beautiful impressions of Istanbul.
Thank you for all the attention and care!
Kind regards and looking forward to can work with you.

Greeting to my Dear Friend Yasar,
We arrived back in New Zealand this Sunday to clear, crisp, sunny winter’s afternoon. We had a wonderful holiday, which was set off by our Guardian Angel Yasar in Turkey.
I have been suffering from jet lag for the last two days but as promised I will write a formal business letter of thanks in a couple days’ time. I have some wonderful drawings, which I did in Italy as well as Turkey which I will send as well.
Kind regards,
Michael – Helen WAREHAM
Hi Yasar,
Gary called me today and told me he and the rest of the group had a great time in Istanbul. Your choice of hotel, the Armada, was perfect. He said it truly was a 4-star hotel and the location was absolutely the best. The views from the rooftop restaurantbar were amazing, just as you said. Gary really appreciated your personal service and attention to every detail. He told me that if I ever send groups to Istanbul in the future, that I can certainly count on you to make sure that everything happens as it should, and that nothing can go wrong if you are in charge. So thank you very much for all you did for this group – I think you were above and beyond what they paid with all the extra service you provided. I will most certainly work with you again if I have another group coming to Istanbul, and I will remind my colleagues to work with you as well.
All the best!
Best regards,
Monica VOLTZ

Hi Yasar,
I hope that you are well! We returned safely – and on time! I have since been recovering from what was a very hectic but thoroughly enjoyable trip. I am so grateful to you for all you did to make things run smoothly, and to take so many administrative burdens from me. I have emailed STS to tell them what an excellent guide you are.
All good wishes,
