    Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that the organization, pre-tour information, and itinerary helped make your journey smooth and enjoyable. It’s wonderful to know that our team was able to meet your specific needs quickly and that you felt well taken care of throughout the trip. We’re especially pleased that you found the vehicles comfortable for the long drives and that Ramazan made your travel days easier with his thoughtful hospitality. Mt. Nemrut and Göbekli Tepe are truly unforgettable places, and we’re glad the guides helped bring these sites to life for you. Thank you as well for your honest feedback regarding the accommodation in Şanlıurfa. We appreciate you pointing this out, and we will be reviewing this property to ensure improvements or adjustments for future itineraries. It’s fantastic to hear that you loved the MDC Hotel in Cappadocia and the Mansion Hotel in Mardin — both are indeed special places that reflect the spirit of their regions. We’re happy you enjoyed exploring the towns in your free time too. Your recommendation means a great deal to us. We’re grateful you chose Turkey Escapades and are thrilled that our proactive and responsive approach helped make your experience memorable. We would be honored to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
