TESTIMONIALS

I have led a plethora of tours over the last twenty five years, and I can honestly say that when it comes to leading a tour to any one of the Lands of the Bible there is no one I would rather work with than Tutku Tours and its many wonderful guides.

After four month-long trips with students through Turkey arranged by Tutku Tours, I am completely sold on Tutku’s services and recommend them to anyone planning tours in its region. Tutku’s expert staff impresses me every year with their friendliness, professionalism, efficiency, and especially with their ability to combine the royal treatment with such an affordable price. The Ephesus Meeting in particular, with its opportunities for worship and learning, has been a highlight along our travels in May. Tutku’s experience and attentiveness to each trip’s success has permitted me as a trip leader to travel with utter ease and confidence.

Tutku Tours is a world leader in Biblical and Classical Tours. Its excellent service combined with affordable prices make it the agency of choice for colleges, universities, and seminaries. Its owner Levent Oral uses personable guides who are experts in the field. I would highly recommend Tutku Tours for your next tour to Turkey or to the eastern Mediterranean.

I would strongly recommend Tutku Tours to professors, like myself, who plan and lead Student Study Tours. I found the staff and guides extremely knowledgeable, experienced and eager to craft the tour to the class objectives. I plan on using Tutku Tours again for my next study trip to Turkey.

Tutku Tours is at the top of the list for tours of Turkey. They specialize in Biblical tours and their expertise is evident in all aspects of their trips. The guides have a firm grasp of the ancient sites and they communicate in an articulate, interesting and sometimes humorous way with the groups. They are abreast of current developments in archaeology and are flexible enough to accommodate in individual interests, even during the course of travels. Tutku Tours is able to negotiate accommodations at excellent hotels and yet keep their prices extraordinarily competitive. I most highly recommend Tutku Tours.

For two weeks over New Years 2008/2009, I led a group of 20 undergraduate students on an Archaeological Study Tour of western Turkey. All the arrangements; itinerary, accommodation, bus and driver, national guide, and entrance fees were arranged with impeccable care by Levent Oral and his colleagues at Tutku Tours. Their experience in designing Academic Tours like this was obvious: the national guide who accompanied us, Serdar Balin, was not only a superb interpreter of his country’s past, but a kind and generous companion for the students. I have been leading Academic Tours to Turkey for over 30 years, and this was easily the most successful. I cannot recommend a better agent in Turkey than Tutku Tours.
