Dear Nihat,

I'd like to thank you a million times for the
wonderful tour of Turkey that you personalized for me
and my friends. I've travelled several times in
different countries and I've never experienced this
kind of service from any other tour operator. This is
the first time I'm actually writing to share my travel
experience with the rest of the world. I am
therefore giving you the freedom to put this in your
website if you deem this helpful in any way.

"For all those considering Magnificent Travel, I
highly recommend them!!! As with any trip I plan, I
start by searching online for packages that match my
places of interest in each city I want to visit. When
I came across Magnificent Travel's website I found
some interesting sights but the dates didn't exactly
match my target for the trip. I wrote them to ask if
they could customize the tour by adding cities I
wanted and by changing the dates. To my surprise
Nihat replied a day after with a full package with all
the details I needed to know but didn't even ask for.
I then made some more modifications to the package he
gave me and he instantly and gladly emailed a revised
package. I was a bit hesitant at first because I've
never heard of their company until I saw their website
c/o google. I wanted to make sure that they really
are a registered travel agency/tour operator so I
asked my travel companion to call TURSAB to check if
they're a member. Of course they're a member :) You
can double check :) After that, I continued to email
Nihat to ask his help for our Turkish visa application
(He sent us a letter of invitation for the Turkish
embassy together with the hotel/tour vouchers even
though we haven't paid him anything yet. A lot of
tour operators ask for down payment but Magnificent
didn't. They patiently waited for us to receive our
visa then they asked for the payment.). It didn't end
there. I sent Nihat numerous emails for additional
requests and questions that would prepare us for the
trip. I thought he didn't have anything to do that's
why he replied to each of my email 5minutes after I
sent them or the latest would be a few hours after.
But no, when I visited him in his office I saw for a
fact that he had a lot of emails to answer. He has a
lot of clients but he treats each one like they were
his only client. Quite surprising :) Going back to
the pre-trip arrangements, when I finally paid for the
package, Nihat instantly sent all the documents we
needed for the trip.

Now for the actual trip.
1) In terms of the airport-hotel-airport transfers
they did a great job! We didn't have to wait for them
to pick us up and it was easy to find them coz they
all had a sign with my name on it.
2) The hotels they booked for us were ok. We didn't
really expect much coz the package price was very
reasonable. The important thing for us was that the
hotels were clean (CLEAN BEDS, CLEAN BATHROOMS) and
that they were located in the center (NEAR THE PLACES
WE WANTED TO VISIT). We were quite satisfied :)
3) Most of the meals they served were good. There
were lots of buffet style meals :) Needless to say
they never left us hungry during the trip.
4) The tour guides were very knowledgeable. Our
numero uno guide would be Akif. We spent one day with
him in Istanbul and he instantly became our friend.
Mehmet was also a great guide. He even waited with us
after the tour, before our overnight bus ride to
Pamukkale.
5) The overnight bus ride to Pamukkale was not so bad.
It was more comfortable than a plane ride.
6) The places we went to were exactly what the
itinerary said we'd go to. They didn't leave anything
out. Aww.Turkey is really so beautiful!!! You should
see it! The sights were amazing. The people were all
friendly.

The trip was perfect! :) It wasn't too well planned
that every move we made was timed. The guides were
quite flexible. We also felt a sense of adventure
throughout the whole trip. We had enough time to go
around on our own to try different restaurants,
experience Turkish baths, explore markets. Real value
for your money."

Thank you again Nihat. I hope to book more tours from
your good company. Maybe Egypt or Morocco.
