"I just wanted to let you know that our holiday in Turkey was fantastic. We loved the country, the tour group was very organised and professional and overall our whole stay was very enjoyable. Many thanks also for all of your time and patience in the booking process."

"From the moment we left home, until the moment we arrived back 4 weeks later, everything was organised in a smooth & trouble free manner. We were delighted to have Erhan as our driver, and he did a fantastic job of looking after us, we felt spoiled & very fortunate to have him, and he certainly enhanced the experience with his local knowledge - we ate some great food with him! The local guides were also very helpful, special thanks to Emre in Cappadocia.

Some of the hotels we stayed in also deserve special mention: Sultania in Istanbul, MDC Cave Hotel In Urgup, Hadrian Hotel in Kas & Sirince Evleri in Sirince - all provided a great experience in different ways. The hot air ballooning with Royal Balloons was worth every penny, we both found it an unforgettable event, and would recommend it to everyone who visits the region.

The week we spent on the gulet was relaxing & enjoyable, we were fortunate to have fantastic weather & to be on deck all day! The food was excellent and plentiful, and the other guests pleasant and amenable.

We found Turkey to be a beautiful & interesting country, with charming, friendly & helpful people. We would like to return one day to explore more of the country & revisit some of the sights, especially Cappadocia.

Thank you again for the great job you did for us, along with Erhan & the rest of the Fairy Chimneys crew."

“We LOVED Turkey. The people are extremely helpful and friendly, the food delicious, the scenery spectacular (especially Eastern Turkey) and the historic sites awesome.
Everything went so smoothly. On a previous overseas trip we had problems with poor organisation, but not this time. Using the internet and arranging details with Marcus was even simpler than going to our local Travel Agent. And in many instances quicker.”

“Two weeks with our driver and guide gave us insight into the real Turkey. Highlights were a gutwrenching walk of the battlefields and war cemeteries of Gallipoli; Troy, Aphrodisias (the world’s best kept secret) and the underground city in Cappadocia. Fairy Chimneys Travel converted our dreams into reality.”

“A wonderful, fascinating and interesting country. Pleasant helpful people, delicious food and a wealth of history. It is difficult to find one thing we enjoyed most as there was so much variety. Ballooning, the walks, Pammukkale, Ephesus, Gallipoli and, of course, Istanbul.”

“Fantastic. My 3rd time in Turkey, but our teenage children had not been before. They loved it Friendly people, fantastic food and our teenagers were genuinely interested in the magnificent sights. Marcus listened to our needs and made suggestions, then put together an itinerary that allowed us to do everything we wanted in the available time. Having all travelled extensively, the children rate Turkey as the best holiday we have had. They are desperate to return.”

“Amazing. We always wanted to visit Turkey but it was better than we ever expected. Marcus suggested an itinerary that was perfect.”

“Marcus was very helpful and put enormous personal effort into designing a comprehensive tour and accommodation program to suit our family’s needs. Creating a 2 week tour for us as a couple then catering for 6 additional family members aged 16 to 76, for another week was challenging. Everyone loved every minute. Well done.”

"Hi Marcus and Anoush,
I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciated all the help and guidance you gave me while I was booking our trip to Istanbul Turkey, especially as everything was so vague on our part.
As you know this was a very difficult trip to book and you guys have made it so much easier for us.

The suggestions you gave us were great and we enjoyed everything we did. Having a personal tour Guide in The Old City is a definite must as you suggested.  The Swisotel  Bosphurous was a great hotel which I thank you for the suggestion as the location was really good for us and the staff there were lovely and always so helpful.

Istanbul is definitely a place to visit and you are defiantly the people to talk to because as I always say you guys are STARS..

I will look forward to being able to organize another trip in the near future with you and once again thank you for everything as you were a great wealth of knowledge and help.

See you soon.........hopefully
