I wanted to let you know that we had the most fabulous holiday. It was everything you said it would be and so much more. We were all so impressed with the historical aspects of the trip. What a beautiful and interesting country…more


First, thank you and Captain Hasan and the Fortuna staff for the very special party for our 40th wedding anniversary. The yacht was decked out in lights and candles. A sumptuous feast was served with champagne and music to - imagine - Zorba the Greek. Plus lots of other music that the crew regaled us with. Great crew!!!!…more


Max and I just wanted to say again thank-you so much for all you did for us while we were traveling in Turkey in Sept/Oct. You really went out of your way to accommodate us on the spur of the moment and your hotel choices were great. (As was the delightful lunch at your beautiful house.) … more


Just wanted to take a moment again to thank you for sharing your lovely boat the Myra and crew with us. Our trip to Turkey in July was absolutely magical and we enjoy reliving our time there as we look through our photographs… more

Having a great time. The Nikola is great, food is terrific and the crew is wonderful. Weather and scenery are spectacular. We all want to come again…more 


We have just returned from our wonderful journey to Turkey and Greece and we want to thank you for the arrangements you made for us – they were perfect. We enjoyed being so close to so many of the historic sites and we could walk to the Blue Mosque, the Sofia Church, the Topkapi Palace and the Cisterns…more 


I arrived back in Canada.  A bit jet lagged, and thinking I should be back in Turkey. You helped me fall in love with Turkey…more 


Our trip was unbelievable!! Every aspect of the tour exceeded our expectation and we are convinced that Turkey is one of the world's best-kept secrets. All our accommodations were exceptional, everyone treated us so kindly and every detail went smoothly. Thanks for encouraging us to spend our last night at the Four Season Sultanamet. It was magical… more


I wanted to be sure to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip. The itinerary was wonderful (except for wishing for more time in many places, especially in Istanbul, but that gives us another reason to return, right?)…more


Home after a great trip. Just wanted to let you know that all of our hotels were great -Eren at the Serinn is delightful and so helpful. Our time with Tamer was terrific - he was fun, friendly and we all enjoyed him so much - another high recommendation from us!!! And please say hi to him from the 'Golden Girls'…more


Now that Betty and I are back home, I want to thank you for arranging such a wonderful tour for the eight of us. We saw parts of Turkey that we never would have gotten to on our own, and learned far more from Aydin about the history and geography and politics of the various regions than I had imagined….more


I want to tell you that I do not want to ever try to recreate this trip, as it was so perfect. I will keep it in my “memory jewel box” for as long as my memory serves. Fortuna was of course the highlight!!!!! ….more

Well here I am back … My first day at the computer I discovered I was tilting a bit...but where was the Fortuna?...where was that glorious sea...and all the laughter and new friends?...And the food,  oh the morning fruit...all the care of your crew...it was all flawless…more

I have been meaning to get back to you about our wonderful trip!!!  Here are a few comments from the group… more


We wanted to tell you that we have returned from our trip of a lifetime in Turkey & Greece. The entire journey exceeded all of our expectations and more. We would like to express our thanks to you and the entire Neyzen staff…more


Thank you so much for putting [our great trip] together for us, and thank you, too, for hosting us all, what a treat it was...delicious meal (great ice cream!), great company, and you were gracious enough to show us all your beautiful home…more

Good morning,
I wanted to take the time to tell you what an amazing trip we all enjoyed!! Thank goodness I only have to imagine that incredible time on the boat and my blood pressure drops instantly!! There were so many highlights and all of your recommendations and organization were well appreciated…more


What a fabulous visit. We continue to revisit since we have returned and are constantly telling people how much we enjoyed our trip.We are so happy to have met you and to have utilized your services to enhance our experience… more


Honestly, hardly a day goes by when we don't think of our visit and all the wonderful people, moments, and experiences that we enjoyed… more


Just watching my slides of our exceptional trip and realize I forgot to thank you for a wonderful dinner and experience at your beautiful home. You have developed an exceptional company and we found the Nikola crew and guides to be so well trained as well as delightful to be with and the hotels were very good. Dinner was delicious and it was really fun to meet your son... more

Merhaba..........
We are back from Turkey and just wanted to thank you for organizing our quick and speedy trip.  We drove 900 km and were only gone 36 hours and had a night's sleep and meals…yes indeed…it was a quick trip, but is what we asked for. We did enjoy it all and loved all the choices of where to stay and where to eat…the fishing village in Behramkale was so cute…got to see a sunset over the Dardanelles and the sun rise at Behramkale. The view over the Aegean at Assos was JUST incredible... more


I want to thank you for your telephone call and generous round of drinks while we were at the end of our trip to Turkey with Leyla in Antalya.  All of your plans worked out very well for us, and we were very comfortable in each of the hotels you found for us... more


We had such a good time. Istanbul was fascinating and we were lucky to have Husam as our guide.  We were very pleased with his knowledge and feel that because of him we had a great introduction to Istanbul and its amazing history... more 


Thank you for planning such an incredible trip for us. While at times it was very busy, it was always very interesting with so many things to see and do. I'd do it all over again if I could! The people that you have supporting you were all wonderfully professional and fun to be around... more


I wanted to let you know that the trip we had with Hasan Captain and his crew will stay in my mind and heart until the day I die. It was so beautiful, the perfect antidote to a world gone crazy.  The crew: Servet, Yilmaz and Ozturk (or “Ozzie” as we nicknamed him) were without peer. They were quiet as mice when we seemed to need quiet and that were so eager to please but in a nice, understated way. You are so right, when Hassan smiles, it lights up the world…more


We arrived home last night after a long flight and are very grateful for a wonderful trip which you put together for us. The accommodations, food, and sites were terrific and Leyla made the first half of the trip extraordinary. Her enthusiasm and warm manner coupled with the knowledge enabled all of us to learn a great deal. The second half of the trip on the Flas VII was also terrific and very relaxing after a hurried touring start to the trip…more


I just want to weigh in here. This trip was beyond expectations ! We will certainly pass on your contacts when we hear of others wanting to experience such a vacation. Your attention to detail was remarkable…more


 I wanted to tell you what a great trip we had, especially in Turkey.  Your arrangements were terrific.  Luckily, we got good weather and no transportation problems, and every detail worked to perfection, and everyone on the trip was impressed.  Husam was extremely knowledgeable and informative and FUN.  Our time on the Myra will be remembered forever…more


I want you to know just how much everyone enjoyed our trip!  It exceeded even my very high expectations.  The itinerary was fascinating, the hotels comfortable, all the people we interacted with were exceedingly warm and hospitable, the food delicious, the group very compatible, but most of all, the trip was made memorable because of our driver, Ahmet, and our guide, Aydin…more

We had a fantastic day yesterday, although I think we gave our guide Ferruh a run for her money! A totally unexpected bonus was the Bet Yaakov synagogue. They were so warm and welcoming, and insisted we attend services with them. We just left and feel so uplifted. We have never been to such a warm and welcoming shul (including our own at home) …more


Just a quick note to say thank you for the work you did on our Turkey trip. All of your people were delightful and professional. The drivers were always early, always attentive, and always knew exactly where they were going. The guides were all knowledgeable and a lot of fun to spend time with…more


What a dynamic duo you two are!!!!!!  Bob and I enjoyed EVERYTHING about our trip to Turkey.  We learned so much about your fascinating country and felt so relaxed on the Flas 7 amidst such beauty and warm, clear water…more


We are all still "kvelling" about the memorable trip.  In fact, the group is meeting this Sunday at the Foers, where we will be making and eating a Turkish dinner (mezze, fish kabobs, etc.) and sharing our photos…more

Hi--
We had a wonderful time. Almost overwhelmingly so. (Too much to process!) But we loved Turkey. Particularly Capadoccia ...more

"Mahalo" is the Hawaiian word for thank you. We are safely back in Seattle. Our trip, which seems like a lot longer than 2 weeks and a bit, was superb, and all your thoughtful planning paid off. Everyone had a grand adventure. We are still recalibrating our body clocks after the swap of day for night...our time together has been excellent and again we thank you for your help. We will certainly be in touch if we plan any other long trips...more



Happy New Year to you and your crew.    Anyway, I want to finally thank you for all that you arranged for my birthday party while we were there Thank you, thank you, thank you!  It ended up being one of the most memorable evenings we had while in Turkey.  There were many, however, not with such panache. One of the other memorable things we did was the Turkish Bath with Husam while in Kayseri. ...more


First, our trip and all the tribulation of the Myra yacht went terrifically. Thank you very much for all of your recommendations and organization.
Second: We only had to pay 177,66 euros at the Ece Saray Hotel for extras. Great deal. ...more


This is to thank you for all the support you gave us during our trip to Turkey. We have really enjoyed both parts, Istanbul and Bodrum. Everything has been developed without any problem which is very important when you are so far from your country. The yacht trip was extremely nice as you said and the result of the whole trip has been outstanding. ...more


Now that we are home and we want you to know Husam was the BEST possible guide, we saw everything on your list and more, had a marvelous, enlightening time, and in fact now consider Istanbul one, if not the most, rewarding places to visit…more

Thanks so much for having the boys and me over, it was lovely to meet you and see a beautiful Turkish home....more
