If you go Tempel Travel ask for Penar!! - An unbelievable country shown to us by an outstanding guide, Penar. We did a Turkiye & Greece Tour of 16 days. (12 Sep-28 Sep 2024). Penar was our guide throughout Turkiye and we love her. She takes her job very seriously and plans each excursion with the clients in mind. We had a group of 13, some of which were quite demanding and vocal about some of their displeasures. Penar always addressed people with respect, courtesy, and thoughtfulness. She is a genuinely caring person who saw the clients' needs, as they were elderly and the day tours demanding. She managed to reconfigure some trips that better-suited clients' needs while respecting others. She was a delight and handled herself very professionally when some clients were being unreasonable. I wasn't too keen on the ship cruise and wouldn't recommend it to others however if you're thinking of visiting Turkiye, be sure to look up Tempel Travel. Penar is one of the best and I hope she is recognized for all her efforts.
Our only hiccup was the first day of arrival and having difficulty finding our transportation to the hotel. This was due to an individual sent to retrieve us. It was all good in the end, but really not what we wanted after a 10+ hrs flight. We just wanted a good long rest. Penar ensured we had travel arranged to the Port to meet the ship for Greece and she ensured we were met at the Port upon our return. We flew back to Istanbul for our flight back to Canada the following day. Penar, we wish you well and surely hope you get the recognition you have earned and deserve. I would also like to give a shout out to our bus driver who did an outstanding job as well. Thank-you Borus, for a job well done. Kind Regards Reita Maltby

Turkey Holidays - Had a wonderful time in Turkey, with the rich history, beautiful scenery and hospitality of the local that make the trip even more incredible.
Thanks to Taner from Tempel Travel's prompt response and planning, we settled the trip in a couple of days.
Our tour guide Jafer is very informative and insightful, would like to express our gratitude for his knowledge and enthusiasm for this trip. Not to forget the skillful driver (sorry, didn't manage to get his name), he really make the long journey so comfortable and pleasant though out.

Tempel travel review - My family and I joined this tour during November and wanted to dive deep into Turkish history and culture. I feel that temple travel have managed to provide us with everything that we wanted and even more, especially with the hospitality and friendliness with our tour guide Taner who was one of the friendliest guides I have ever meet. Enjoyed this experience a lot 😄.
Would definitely come back when I can!

Most memorable Anniversary Trip and Super Awesome Tour Director Hazal Koc - My hubby & I came to Turkey for our 35th Wedding Anniversary from 11 to 22 June 2023. We were extremely happy with our 7 day private tour and our fabulous tour director Ms.Hazal Koc and experienced driver Mr Okan.
Hazal is very knowledgeable and shared many interesting historical information as we drove in the Mercedes Sprinter and during our tours. She is a cheerful welcoming sight every day, positive, professional, sincere and caring in her genuine ways. Always looking after us and checking every now and then on our needs. Even after our tour was over and we were on our own for the remaining 4 days, we appreciated Hazal's follow up. She was most helpful in providing us details on which eye hospital we should go to when my hubby needed to visit one. She sent directions and communicated with us throughout the whole process. We felt so assured and at ease knowing she is there for us. We are grateful to Temple Travel for pairing us with Hazal. She goes beyond her call of duty when it comes to being responsible and caring. She has certainly exceeded our expectation and is a treasure and a valuable asset to your organisation.
In the short time that Hazal has been with us, her sincerity shines through and we see her like a daughter to us now!
We hope to return to Türkiye where Hazal will be our definite choice to bring us on tour in future. We already miss her & Türkiye!

Beautiful Turkey - We enjoyed the short holidays in Turkey very much, the beautiful scenery and rich history will never fail you.
Taner from Tempel Travel was very responsive and prompt in action, we confirmed all details and settled everything within a few day.
Thanks to our tour guide, Zafer and the driver (sorry, didn’t manage to get his name). Both provided best service through out the long journey. Zafer is so enthusiastic with his works, even though some hiccups along the way, but he settled it patiently and professionally. I really appreciate it.
