Dear On The Go Tours, We have just completed the 2015 Christmas Turkey Tour, and we wish to commend the Tour, and the Tour Guide as being exceptional.

As a destination, Turkey far exceeded our expectations, and we relished the richness of the culture, and the history.

The organisation of the tour was flawless.

Transport, accommodation and meal arrangements were all available on time, and met the expectations set in the brochure.

The tour guide was Mr Recep Aydin, who was unbelievably good.

Recep's deep understanding of both historical and cultural matters were delivered in a compelling narrative, as we travelled through the tour.

Recep's blend of history, culture, and a bit of fun made the tour both interesting and entertaining.

Visiting the Church of St Nicholas, and having Christmas Dinner in Turkey added a special significance to this tour.

We cannot recommend this tour more highly.

Thank you for an enriching experience.

If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely, Rob & Amanda Gillis (Sydney, Australia) less....

The Tour was fantastic.

There was some discrepancy in the standard of hotels (Marina Hotel in Kusadasi was tired and generally substandard).

We also had issues with no assistance with luggage at the Hilton Hotel in Konya (surprising for a Hilton hotel not to have a bell boy!).

Our driver was very good and we felt safe at all times.

Our Guide, Esra, was exceptional.

She had excellent knowledge of the history of all sites and managed the group extremely well.

The only disappointment for me was that we spent very little time in Antalya.

I know others in the group would have liked more time there, too.

Overall, I thought the tour was terrific and will not hesitate to recommend it to friends, family and clients.

This tour was fantastic, exactly what I wanted to get in terms of learning some history and culture of Turkey.

Recep was very knowledgeable, he provided enough information and background for us to understand what we were looking and needed to look.

The driver worked hard and often had to drive a long time to reach the sites.

I really enjoyed this holiday.

We picked this tour because of the name Christmas Turkey.

Neither of us had been to Turkey before and were interested to find out about the country that is often in the news for the wrong reasons.

We were very pleasantly surprised as despite there being a bombing just before we left we felt perfectly safe in the country and everybody we met was very helpful.

Turkey is really suffering because of bad press.

Tourism is down 80%.

Turkey is a fascinating country so rich in culture and history.

Having travelled around a large part of it we could see why so many nations wanted to invade it.

For us Ephesus, Pamakkale and Cappadoccia ( and our snowman built on Xmas Day ) were the highlights and we felt we only scratched the surface and so intend to return.

We both came home feeling thoroughly enriched by the experience and empowered.

The government is investing hugely in the economy building big highways to link the west to the east , tunnels under the Bosphorus, a huge water pipeline under the Mediterranean sea sharing water from Turkey with Northern Cyprus.

Recep was an excellent guide and prepared to answer any question the group posed.

He made sure the whole group was catered for and consequently everyone gelled very well.

It was a very special way to spend Christmas 2016 less....

We found this tour to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable tours that we have ever taken.

Our guide Recep was wonderful in balancing information and levity so that we were always enjoying ourselves whether in the van or on the ground.

Also, the driver Yusef was absolutely the best and very personable.

We could not have asked for a better team than Recep and Yusef.

Whenever we are asked about this trip in the future we will always add that besides the amazing places we visited we were blessed to have one of the best tour guides who not only made the trip memorable but also made it personal.

Please acknowledge Recep for his fine work as I am sure the other 8 members of the group will do so also.

I can't imagine taking a tour in Turkey and not having Recep as my guide.

Thanks On The Go for another fabulous tour and thanks Recep for making our trip to Turkey a memory that will last a lifetime.
