Just home from two weeks in Calis Beach and five assorted trips with Carole & Tayfun which were all incredible. I can't praise the company and their staff enough. They did everything they could to make each trip thoroughly enjoyable. Pick ups were all on time and so handy after a busy day relaxing.
Please pass on my thanks to all especially Janet, Lindy, Chrissie and the crew of the Carole Anne. I will be back and invite anyone with any concerns about booking with C&T to contact me for a glowing recommendation. Thank you so much for making my holiday great!

Just arrived back in uk after a great week in Ovacik. Transfers were prompt to and from the airport. Our trips were thoroughly enjoyed by all, 12 islands - everything just perfect, those in our group that had never been to Turkey took the opportunity to try lots of new experiences, I even had a go in a ringo! The sunset cruise, was such a relaxing, chill out evening. 2 of the group went rafting, neither were confident swimmers, but both had a great day. The jeep safari, well what can I say? A 12 hour day, totally amazing and great fun. Food on all the trips, lovely and the trout, as good as last year. Thank you, C&T you can be assured that i'll be booking my trips through you next time i'm over.

Sunset Cruise with Carole & Tayfun was the highlight of our recent holiday in Fethiye. We paid £12 each which included a buffet meal. We were collected at Majesty Tuana and transferred to boat which is owned by this company. Boat left Fethiye Harbour about 6.30 pm sailing to a nearby Island with lovely clear waters where passengers had chance to dive overboard for 2 bottles of wine. Good space on board and didn't feel like we were crammed in like sardines. Was really impressed with onboard buffet meal where we tasted the nicest pasta ever which was served with either Chicken, Steak or Fish. Lovely potato salad served with meal too. All passengers had opportunity for seconds which we felt was very generous. After meal passengers had chance for a boogie. One member of the crew was a lovely English woman called Chrissie who was very attentive to everyone. We are returning to Fethiye again next year and based on this trip experience with Carole and Tayfun we will definitely be booking more trips with them in 2012. Found this company very professional and reliable. If only I could cook that pasta dish!
Gemma Dickson: 16.07.2011
A big thank you for 2 trips we took with your company in June. The 12 Island cruise especially was excellent on the 19th June I must say that your English speaking guide was extremely good and such an asset to your cruise. Also all your crew were very good. I shall definitely use your company when in Turkey again. I also passed your name on to fellow holiday makers.
Mrs S Havenhand: 24.06.2011
Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent airport transfer service we received from you recently. It is the second year we have used your company and cannot fault it. Will definitely recommend you to anyone considering going to the Hisaronu area. Thank you.
Mary McAllister: 13.07.2011
Many thanks to you we had some brilliant excursions. We did the Market, Boat Trip and Jeep Safari and all were brilliant and well organised from the moment I booked on-line to the time we were dropped back to our Hotel. We'll definitely be using you again in the future. Special thanks to Janet who was brilliant when I was booking the excursions.
Chris, Simon & Callum: 23.06.2011
Dear Carole and Tayfun,Thank you for being part of a good experience in Turkey. you were professional and we felt safe.
will be recommending you !!!

Hi, I am E-mailing you to let you know what a Wonderful trip we had to Ephesus and Pamukkale on the 7th/8th on May. The tour guide was outstanding, I think his name was Erhan, his passion for his job and country showed in his information and his helpfulness. I could not have wished for more on such a brilliant tour. You price was more than value for money it was out of this world. I loved it. Thank you so much for helping us have a wonderful time in your country.
Regards
Mark and Angela: 19.05.2011
We've just returned from Ovacik and we booked 2 tours with you. I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed them and give some feedback!
Firstly, I spoke with Janet at the Fethiye office, and later on your online chat facility. She was so friendly and helpful, she was a delight to deal with.
We booked the Ephesus-Pamukkale trip and our guide was Erhan. He was absolutely brilliant, he was informative and his English was great. He looked after us very well and was always happy to answer questions. I can't remember the driver's name, but he was very friendly and always had a smile, and his driving was exemplary.
We also visited Dalyan, and our guide was Fatih. We loved the tour but found Fatih to be a little boring, he did not stop talking on the ride out there and we wished we had been able to have some quiet time. However, when he fell off the jetty into the river by mistake, we forgave him for boring us a little earlier! Again, the driver was great and drove safely. The trip was great fun and we all wished we had been able to spend longer at the mud bath.
All in all, we really enjoyed ourselves, and on asking around we found we had paid the best prices also. I'll be recommending you on Trip Advisor for sure!

Hello, I would just like to say a big big thank you to all those involved in making our first trip to Turkey a memorable one, we booked the jeep safari and the sunset cruise. Joseph our driver and what appeared to be the lead guide on the jeep safari was brilliant, he was very organised and extremely profesional, a day of fun and lots of laughter for me and my family. Thank you Carole & Tayfun with special thanks to Joseph
HI . My family and I have just returned from Hisoronhu and we used your company for airport transfers, boat trips, horseriding, and turkish bath. We found them all to be of excellent value and found all your staff to be extremely professional and helpful. I will definitely recommend your company to my friends and have no hesitation in using your company again when We return again later in the year.
Regards

Hi Gayle,
Just a quick note to say many thanks for all your help.
We had a fantastic time on our brief holiday to the Hisaronu area.
A lot of this was due to the four wonderful trips we booked through you; from Carole & Tayfun.
I will be returning to Oman on 02nd July and will then settle down to write a few reviews for TripAdvisor.
Needless to say you and C&F will feature strongly.
We hope to return next year for two weeks (May) but that will depend on the health of my mother.
In the mean time thanks once again.
Please pass on our best wishes to Tayfun and thank him for the T-shirts... perhaps we will meet Carole next time
Peter & Jean. :o)
Dear Gayle
I have just returned to London after a very enjoyable time in Oluzdeniz.
Our two boat trips that we went on were great and I would like to thank you so much for your help in organizing them.
If we are lucky enough to return to Oludeniz, we will be booking trips with you again.
Regards Judy Clement
Hi Gale.
On behalf me and my friend we would like to thank you for organising our trips. Everything went well and on time. 12 Islands Cruise was great. All the crew was friendly and really helpful. And the food... It was just amazing. Turkish Bath was so relaxing. With few extras we've paid for they've made us feel like two VIPs. Rhodes was beautiful as well! Perfect servcie all the way through. Once again thank you for keeping us happy and well entertained during our stay in Turkey.
Best regards.
Kamila.
Dear Gayle
My partner and I booked some trips with you before coming to Turkey 8th July - 22 July 2010.
Turkish Bath
Our first outing was to Durans for a Turkish bath. What a fantastic time we had. We had booked a basic Turkish Bath with you but ended up having the full works. Sauna, facial, Turkish Bath and head to toe Massage for a minimal extra cost. We spent the whole afternoon being pampered and looked after. The staff were amazing, friendly and just couldn't do enough for you. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made our first full day on Holiday Just perfect. Plus after the treatment we developed the most lovely Tans. I would Highly recommend this excursion to everyone coming to Hisanaro. I would equally recommend visitors booking it through Carole&Tayfun, as we had 5 star treatment throughout the whole day, from being picked up outside our hotel in an air-conditioned mini bus (by a friendly polite young man) to being dropped back to our Hotel after. Thank you so much for making our first day Fantastic.

Three Island Cruise.
We were picked up from our Hotel pretty much on time for this trip. There was some delay with picking up others along the way and a transfer from our little mini bus to a coach. However as with some OTHER tour operators there was no problems along the way, the transport was clean, airy and air-conditioned. We arrived at the Harbour and were surprised and delighted to find that our Boat was not taking all the people from the coach. Our boat was a wonderful wooden gillett. There were around 25 people on the cruise. Our Host was a wonderful girl who spoke perfect English & Turkish.
The captain and crew were also Fantastic. The young Lady was brilliant and served drinks and snacks all day with an open easy smile and wonderful manner. The Captain and crew cooked our Lunch on the front of the boat. The Lunch was super, one of the best meals I had in the whole two weeks of our holiday. The young lady told us all about the Islands we visited but could have benefited from a microphone. There was no Loads music and boozy passengers apart from my other half lol, There were children on the cruise but it was a fantastic friendly relaxed atmosphere and everyone enjoyed the cruise.
There were also opportunities for people to partake in Para-sending, banana boats and doughnuts. Boats came along side for these activities but nothing was sold or forced by the crew and the cruise. There was plenty of opportunity for people to swim in the beautiful clear waters when we stopped at the island, the crew also offered people buoyancy aids for non swimmers, which I though was fantastic, it meant everyone could enjoy the water if they chose to. After a wonderful days Cruise we felt relaxed and refreshed. Thank you to everyone Involved on the cruise and thank you Carole&Tayfun.
Sara Conybeer & Dave Lowe.
Quad Biking
We were picked up bang on time for this activity, by a friendly chap in a big jeep. We picked up some other people along the way but with half an hour we were at the Quad biking area. We all got a full half an hour Safety Brief and Practice ride around their training area. Helmets were provided. Papers had to be signed after the safety brief and part of that was agreeing that if anyone behaved inappropriately and damaged the bikes the cost would be down to them. My partner and I thought this was a very important part of the safety brief as it deters idiots. We were taken along roads and into the forest for off roading .
There was also a safety team in place. When anyone had a problem the group stopped and waited for help and assistance. One young lad had a problem with his bike but and the whole this did not present a problem and was easily fixed. We saw some amazing scenery and sights along the route and ended the first half of the excursion at a wonderful little beach, where we swam and cooled down for an hour. We then made our way back to the Quad bike place, but along route did some more off roading. Our guide stopped at the road side where a local couple were selling fruit and spices they had grown.
The guide offered everyone fruit to taste at No Cost and at No time were taken to gift shops or carpet salesmen lol as many other tour operators seem to do. We arrived back after having a FANTASTIC afternoon. There was a photographer along the route with us and he took lots of photo's 101 in total of my partner and I, photo's we could never have taken our selves. We couldn't believe how many they'd got as we didn't even notice him taking them most of the time. Fantastic value too as we got the CD of our day for just £10. Amazing. We would highly Recommend booking this excursion with Carole&Tayfun especially after hearing so mean horror story's from other people with other tour operators.
Sara Conybeer & Dave Lowe.
Final Note
To be honest we did book some other trips with another company whist we were in Olu Deniz. Both of the other trips were a disaster. Transport was awful, organisation was non existent and also terrible value for money. If we return to Hisanaro and Olu Deniz we will only be booking through Carole&Tayfun. They give outstanding Value for money with only the best people. They really make a holiday GREAT
Thank you so very Much
Sara & Dave

Dear Gayle,
I wanted to send this email to say thank you. All the trips we went on were fantastic. We would do every single one of them again. The trips were such good value for money and our guide Nora (on the dalaman and tlos trips) was brilliant. She was friendly and very knowledgable about all things. We even recommended your company to others we met on holiday and they booked a trip through you.
If dave and I ever have the pleasure to go back to Olu Deniz again, we will definately be booking our trips through you and will recommend you to our friends.
Many thanks for making our holiday so brilliant

Just a quick e-mail to thank you (especially Gayle) for your help in booking the trips below, together with your 3 island boat trip and airport transfers which we had previously booked.
It was the first time we had been to Turkey and had no idea what to expect, but all I can say is that any expectations I had of the country itself or trips we had booked were greatly exceeded.
We like to keep busy and thoroughly enjoyed all our excursions especially the Jeep Safari (the guys from Karacay were superb) and also the white water rafting which we swapped onto from the 12 island cruise - which was done with no problem at all at your office in Hisoronu.
From the airport, and for every trip, we were collected on time, and we couldn't have asked for a better, more efficient or enjoyable service.
Thank you once again.
Carol Sorrell & family.
