What Our Guests Say About Turkey
Thanks to all of you for being great travel companions. I am fully ensconced back at work but enjoying the memories of an interesting and fun vacation. I think for me my best `memory’ is the feeling that I was in the center of civilisations, cultures and a history that spanned thousands of years. Being on the threshold of Europe, the middle east and Asia all at the same time really makes Turkey unique and interesting to all who would have Turkey Garden Tour. I watched the DVD that came with the olive oil from Urla – that was fun to see a bit inside the owner’s house and the more rare bamboo plants. More importantly I am enjoying the oil on a daily basis.’
Catherine
Turkey Garden Tour was thoroughly enjoyed. The group was just the right size for getting to know each other well. I was so amazed at the history and the culture we received and being in Turkey to observe the passages of the beginning of their civilisation. Now I can read from the Bible to capture their times in relation to what I have observed to make it more meaningful for me. “B” was excellent especially giving us the History. Thanks again.
