"Hello Umit and Tolga - we are back home where still some snow is on the ground but it was 17 degrees yesterday so warming up.

You did an amazing job of organizing our very ambitious wishlist of a trip. Equinox did a superb job and Tolga - your knowledge and enthusiasm which you imparted daily made this trip exceptional.  I found the ancient history as well as the modern history equally fascinating.   You are so pivotal to the past and the future in your location.  We have much to learn from you on all fronts.

“Equinox Travel's tour of Turkey was one of the best travel experiences of our lives. Every aspect was at the top of its class: hotels, restaurants, van, driver, pace, thoroughness, value. The knowledgeable guide taught us the antiquities, culture and history of this extraordinary, fascinating and friendly land and daily led us to a hidden treasure not in the guidebooks or an off-track experience or meal that vastly enhanced our enjoyment and experience. Combine all this with small group travel and an amazingly low price and this is THE Turkey tour to take.”

My wife and I took the Archaeological Odyssey 1: Lycia, Pamphylia, & Pisidia offered by Asia Minor Travel & Tours. This was our second trip conducted by this company. We found Turkey a treasure house of archaeological splendors of the pre-Hellenistic, Hellenistic and Roman periods. Turkey is a country of natural beauty, rich in history and very hospitable people. The main feature of this tour that differentiated it from the more routine archaeological tours was that we were shown unexcavated sites, excavated sites and filly restored sites. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable in history, mythology, and archaeology. He answered all our questions with a complete command of American English. We are planning to return to Turkey in October of this year (2002), taking the tour Archaeological Odyssey 2: Remote Turkey offered by Asia Minor Travel & Tours.

Last month I and three other faculty members took a group of 25 high school students and 6 other adults on a 10-day trip to Turkey with Asia Minor Tours. Levent and his tour guides were incredible. They worked hard to make sure we were busy without being frantic, informed with being overloaded and made the trip one of the best ever in the experience of this institution. We are already planning a trip back in two years and I would not hesitate to use Asia Minor Tours again. Turks are legendary for their hospitality, but the folks at Asia Minor went above and beyond what was required. I was most impressed.
