It is wonderful that the Turkish Cultural Foundation provides this opportunity for people to experience the beauty, legacy, and contemporary life in Turkey. Turkey is a diverse country in many regards … geography, topography, regional customs, and foods. The knowledge and experience of our tour guide were essential. The details of the tour were flawlessly coordinated. Staff and volunteer leadership of the Turkish Cultural Foundation interacted frequently with the tour participants, which made a real difference in making the group feel welcome and informed.

Through our visits to mosques, museums, cultural centers and other attractions, I gained an understanding of Turkey’s past and the future it is making for itself. Thank you for the opportunity to visit this beautiful country and experience Turkish hospitality. I will certainly be back.

Turkey is a wonderful and promising land. We are already planning our next trip to Turkey. I now have a sense of the modern Turkey and like what I see. The tour guide Çimen was a skilled and wonderful guide. She helped us (the people on the tour) to bond and understand the psyche of Turkey. I am grateful to have had this experience.

Turkey has a rich and diverse cultural heritage dating back thousands of years. Before coming to Turkey and seeing it firsthand, I did not appreciate the role this area and its people have played in human history. The Fall Tour was an incredible educational gift.
