"Turkey is a country rich in history, beauty and culture. With Leyla as our guide, every day was an adventure. From the mosques in Istanbul to the beaches of Bodrum, Leyla made Turkey come alive. It was an unforgettable experience!"

"Leyla is an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable about historic sites of Turkey. For the trip she planned for us, her selection of restaurants and a hotel gave us the Turkish flavor we had requested. Added to her expertise as a guide is her excellent command of English and her very, sympathetic personality."

"We have taken six trips to Turkey, five of which were cruising along the Turquoise Coast. Our last two trips with eight other friends were arranged and guided by Leyla Dumanli. They were without a doubt the most outstanding tours we had in Turkey. Her charming personality, great historical knowledge and attention to details are phenominal. Leyla is planning another trip for us next year and we are anxiously looking forward to it.  With great affection   Christel and Dean Anderson."

"We met Leyla on an Abercrombie and Kent tour to Turkey in 1998 and since that trip we have been on 6 other tours with A&K which included Spain, Egypt, France, Italy...etc. and she was the most well informed tour guide that we have ever experienced! Perhaps it was her education and preparetion; perhaps it was her energy; perhaps it was her genuine kindness and enthusiasm but the bottom line is that if you go to Turkey you must contact Leyla"

"P.S. And now, in 2003, our next trip will be with her on a gulet(boat)!"

 

" We are hooked on "Turkey with Leyla." She organized a wonderful gulet (wooden boat) tour for us on the Turquoise Coast of Turkey. It was a great trip; educational, fun, relaxing, excellent food. We will definitely repeat the whole experience soon.
