Hi Liz,
Sadly I am back at work now, happily perfect weather here in Adelaide this week, 27 and sunny today!
Fantastic time in Turkey thankyou!! I was just heading to the shops from the Mina when I saw your office, I called in on the off chance you were there to say thankyou.
Everything was really good, all the arrangements worked really well. The guides, hotels and transfers all good!
I guess the best praise I can give is that I would definitely book with you again and will recommend you to others as well.
I will do a review for Trip Advisor from home too.
Thankyou again

"Our time in Turkey was amazing, and much of the credit for that goes to TTC for their professionalism and extraordinary organizational skills. Answers to our questions before the trip were prompt and informative The boutique hotels we stayed in were lovely and always within a short walk of the areas we wanted to visit. We were not part of a group so very much appreciated all of the wonderful people who showed up to transfer us from place to place and provide us with valuable information. Turkey is a fascinating, vibrant country and I would return in a heartbeat. For assistance in planning another trip, I would contact Turkey Travel Centre again just as quickly."
