Congratulations Mehmet and Hasan
We were very lucky to have been part of Sammy's 8 tour to Gallipoli this year and we would like to thank all concerned in making our tour a very happy memory we will enjoy for the rest of our lives.
Our special thanks to our wonderful guide Hasan. What a lovely young man, he is a credit to his country. He shared so much knowledge with us we can't thank him enough for making our tour very, very special.
Please look after him for us, he is an asset to your company.
We have never been on a tour where everyone mixed so well and we have all been in contact, via email, since our return to our homes on Saturday.
Congratulations Sammy's Travel, we will recommend you to our friends and family.
Kind regards

Hi to all at Sammy’s Travel
I would just like to say that this was the best holiday I have ever had and that our tour group (Sammy’s 8) and tour guide was the best group I have ever been on.
I would like to thank everyone involved for making this an unforgettable holiday and I would always recommend Sammy’s Travel to anyone wanting to do the ANZAC tour.
Thanks for some of the best memories, I will always treasure.

Hi
Mehmet,
I would appreciate it if you would pass this on to all the relevant people.
Clare and I would like to say a very big thank you to everyone at Sammy's for such an excellent trip. We would like to make special mention to you and Hasan who were helpful beyond anything we could ask for and we are so grateful.
I have done several tours in my travels, and this was by far the best. The support provided before the tour and the excellent help starting at the airport and ongoing until we were back in London was exceptional.
Your organisation skills are an asset to the company, and Hasan's tour management was brilliant.
I will be highly recommending you to anyone else I know interested in Turkey and I wish you all the best with all future tours.
Once again, thank you so much and please pass on my thanks to Sammy and the rest of the team.
Kind regards,
Cassie Muttdon

Hi Mehmet,
I just wanted to let you know that our Tour Guide was Levent and he
was the most amazing tour guide that we could have asked for!
Everyone on Bus 5 enjoyed themselves immensely and it was mostly
thanks to Levent.
We found him to be very knowledgeable, humorous and very kind and
provided us with interesting facts about Turkey that made our trip
worthwhile. Because of Levent we will definitely be recommending
Sammy's Travel to our friends for next years ANZAC Day trip.
If you could please pass on our thanks to him, we would be very
greatful.
Kind Regards,
Mark Stith,
Dear Mehmet,
It was a pleasure meeting you. Thank you so much for the tour on Oct 14th.
We really enjoyed it. Behar (Spring) did an excellent job.
She gave us lots of information and personal attention. She was a delight to be with.
Thanks again for tour package. It was great!

Dear Mehmet,
Thank you very much for organising all our trips - we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and did enjoy meeting you and the staff at Sammy's. Give them all our regards.
Visit to Turkey October 24th – October 31st 2004
We found Sammy’s Travel on the Internet and were very pleased with the trip we organised with the help of Murtaza Kalender. All our emails were answered immediately and we were able to visit all the places we wanted. Our flight tickets were waiting for us when we arrived in Istanbul and we were met at Izmir and taken to our hotel. All the staff at Sammy’s were extremely friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our daily visits to the office. The guides were very good, in particular our guide for Ephesus and Pergamon and our guide for Troy and Gallipoli.When we left on the Sunday we felt we were leaving behind friends.
We would recommend anyone wanting to visit this area to use Sammy’s Travel.
Sincerely Yours,
Graeme and Pat Kerr

G'day Mehmet,
I was on the 4 day tour with Adam Pope. We enjoyed the trip very much,
learnt a lot more than what we thought we knew. Our guide was great.
Travelling to Anzac Cove the day before the ceremony was a great move &
staying at the Resort as well, I will definately be recommending Sammys to
my Aussie mates who wish to travel to Anzac Cove in the future.
Many Thanks

Hi Mehmet,
I had the most amazing time in Turkey and the cermony was beyond all my expectations. The tour was excellently organised and everything was extremely enjoyable. Thank you for making my Gallipoli experience something I will remember forever.
Cheers

Hi Mehmet,
The recent Anzac Tour we did was absolutely fantastic. It was the first organised tour we have ever done and we loved it.
One complaint - we didn't have enough time at the Anzac Cove Museum. There were a lot of diary entries and letters we would have loved to have read, but didn't have time. Barely had time to take some pics.
Our only complaint.
The rest was wonderful. Our guide Chengis (not spelt right, but pronounced Jengis) was so caring, informative .... just sensational.
Lvoed it and will definately recomend you to others.
Paul Cazzuline,
Hello Mehmet,
I am just responding to give you feedback on the tour. Overall I was very happy with it. It was well organised and run. The quality of the hotels we stayed at were very good and the level of customer service was of a high standard.
Thanks

Hi Mehmet,
I am happy to say I had a wonderful time in Turkey and I was very pleased
with our tour. I will be recommending the tour to friends and family.
Thanks for everything.
Lee Coghill,
Very informative & friendly guide, deriver and derivers assistant. Thanks for helping to make my ANZAC Day experince unforgettable one.
Kylie Hall,
I thought that the tour package was of a high standart I found that the tour guide was very approachable and knowledgeable of the the tour of ANZAC itself.
I found the Turkish explaination intevesting for ANZAC as we only learn of the all sides in our Schools. It was nice to get a true feel for both sides of the ANZAC Story.
I would recommend this tour to others and will consider Sammy's Travel as first option for tours next time I'm in Turkey.
Thank you for all your hard work!!!

Hi Mehmet,
I wanted to take the time to write and say what a fantastic holiday I had in Turkey.
I can't tell you enough how wonderful our guide and driver were. Sedat Kirkan has such an amazing knowledge of Turkey and it's history - there was no a question he was unable to answer. He always made a conscious effort to ensure that we had the best time we possibly could all throughout our holiday. Our driver Tufan Igel put in some extremley long hours and his driving was outstanding. He was always very professional and curteous. I truly hope that I am lucky enough to have guides and drivers of their calibre when I next travel.
Thank you very much again. All the best for the future.

Hi,
Thought I would give you feedback on the 6 day Gallipoli tour 2006 (bus 9) I found out about the tour through advertising in Gumtree and through search engines
I was really pleased with the tour. Things I was particularly impressed with were: our tour guide Ahmet - he was amazing! the timing of the Turkish Baths upon returning from Gallipoli - they were great also I really liked the thermal resort we stayed at before we went to Gallipoli - the drive was worth it and the food was great I also really enjoyed seeing the local art in the village museum.
The dinner at the fish markets was also good Things that could be improved on: The bus rides are quite long, and it might be nice to have a guitar on board for a sing along to help pass the time Was not too impressed with the showers or water at the Istanbul hotel - Birbey?. The water stopped and came out brown a few times. That was a little gross and scary. And the lights on the stairwell weren't working properly
There was some confusion with our transfer, even though we emailled our flight times and receipt of these were confirmed by the company. These had not been recorded on the transfer log, but our transfer was fine in the end. (Just a small thing)
Otherwise very pleased with the tour, the weather and all the people I met. Will definately recommend this experience to friends. Thank you.
Ka kite,
Katie
