Penelope Hamlin & Ronald Zarter - El Paso, TX
"Omer was a tour guide for us for two trips to Turkey. The second trip included my 10-month old granddaughter. He planned and delivered wonderful experiences. Omer was able to meet our expectations and then some. His knowledge of the country, its history and the people is superior. He and our driver, Dogan, took us to many special out of the way places while still seeing the “highlights” of Turkey. The accommodations and food were always excellent. Do visit Turkey with Omer!"
Julia Rogers - Freelance Tour Manager , U.K
"I have worked with Mr Omer Elkay doing tours in Turkey with groups of British holiday makers. My experience of him is that he is a thorough guide, always reliable, very informative and with a good sense of humour. He has an excellent command of English and is always smartly presented. Of utmost importance is his ability to get on well with people from all walks of life and to do a first class job of caring for his customers."
Leopold G. Koss, M.D / Professor and Chairman Emeritus, NYC
"Omer was my guide in Turkey several years ago. He guided me through the mainland Turkey and through Asia Minor in an expert fashion. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the places and sites that we visited. He was a delightful companion whose English skills were remarkable."
Caren & Bud Zisson, Floridaa
"Omer made our trip to Cappadocia so very special! He seems to know everybody there, and we were able to meet people, go places and do things that other guides cannot offer. He knows Turkish history, politics, and all the best places to visit, eat and shop. He even gave us great information and even contacts about other areas in Turkey that we visited after our week in Cappadocia! He is the best and most memorable guide that I have ever had in any country. You can't go wrong with "Omer the Magnificent"!"
Rhona Rombro / Rainbow Travel - Orlando
"Your country is wonderful! Istanbul is exotic! The Blue Mosque is breath-taking! Hagia Sophia is absolutely superb! Topkapi is so interesting! But the most memorable part of our Turkish journey is our charming, delightful, kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and great-sense of humor guide. How fortunate our group was to have had such good luck in obtaining the best guide in all Turkey!! You made our stay wonderful, and we shall always have fond memories of you & Istanbul. I hope our paths will cross again one day."
