Once in a lifetime adventure "Antarctica"

Antarctica was always on my bucket list. An expensive but once in a lifetime adventure! I decided to take the journey in January which is supposed to be the warmest month when Drake Passage is (hopefully) calmer, sea ice is a bit more open, hatching or newly hatched penguins are abundant. ...

Quality of travel assured

Reviewed By Cigdem - Mountain View | Traveled to South Africa ~ Africa
Mrs. Ferah Kutlu has assisted me since 2008 for worldwide travel to many destinations within the USA, Far East, Europe and Africa. Our experience has been stellar, well above what might be expected through “ordinary” travel agencies. Mrs. Kutlu is a consummate professional giving you different options, making suggestions, finding special arrangements that offer special deals all aimed at making your experience to become happily memorable. I don’t know of anybody else who can match her attention to details. Even after a trip may be finalized Mrs. Kutlu keeps in touch with her clients to keep them abreast of any changes and any new improvements to the details that may still be possible. I shall deal with no other individual in setting my future travels as I don’t believe anyone else can match her individual touch and the comfort plus assurance that I get when our travel arrangements are made by Mrs. Kutlu. I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to travel to any country or place.

The Best Birthday Trip I Ever Had

Reviewed By Ladybug - Morgan Hill, California | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas ~ Baja California Sur ~ Mexico
We have been working with Ferah since she started her travel agency. She is always on top of our itenaries and continuously follows up with hotels and even upgrades our rooms by contacting directly with hotel management. She always remembers our special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries and surprises us during our travel by sending special treats like champagne, fruit trays, upgrades, etc. She is the most trusted travel resource for our family and friends. We were lucky to find her to arrange our travels and suggest new destinations for us. We highly recommend Ferah whoever wants to arrange any vacation travel, cruises, etc.

Our best trip to Hawaii to date

Reviewed By Akkan family - Mountain View CA | Traveled to Maui Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Working with Ferah has been a wonderful experience . She arranged and took care of everything for us (air, hotel, rental car), gave us a lot of very good and useful information, tips on best places to visit, best restaurants to go to, best tours to take, etc. and all of her guidance was right on. We are very grateful to her for the exceptional and very professional service she was able to provide and as we have done in the past several times, we will continue to have her arrange all of our future trips and tours, domestic and international. Thank you for a job well done.

A super-agent? You bet!

Reviewed By Susu - Cupertino, CA | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
After months of Covid precautions, finally we decided to have vacation. Our son favored Hawaii for his family (two kids 9 and 6). Hilton Hawaiian Village was our choice, based on our past visits there. That is when Ferah kicked in as our travel agent. All the reservations and arrangements she made for us were just superb. We asked her to arrange the Rainbow Tower for our stay. She also superbly arranged that the two rooms were very close to each other. We all had a wonderful time thanks to her.

Top-notch travel agent!

Reviewed By Woodside - Woodside | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Ferah was top-notch throughout the planning and even the follow-up of our trip. She made sure we were always informed each step of the way. Ferah also worked with the cruise operator to improve the outbound flights over the operator's assigned flight itinerary. She also made sure we had the best possible stateroom in the category we selected.

A stellar holiday experience!

Reviewed By Sebo - Saratoga, CA | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands ~ Caribbean
5 Star Rating! Ferah by far the best travel agent we've booked through ever! This year, our two bookings with Ferah went smoothly with no hiccups during the tricky COVID-19 situation! Ferah's upbeat personality, her attention to details and her immediate responses to any inquiry is exceptional. We would certainly book again and recommend to friends and family!

Incredible Italy Trip

Reviewed By Uygar Aral - Cupertino, CA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We asked for an incredibly challenging itinerary during our trip to Italy in 2018. We were a total of 5 adults, a 3 year old, and a 7 year old with ADHD. We wanted to visit Rome, Florence, and Venice along with a couple nights in the middle in Monticiano, Tuscany for a wedding. At each of the major cities, we wanted to maximize our time with preset tours that were kid friendly, especially for my son (patience and waiting in lines are extremely difficult for him).

Ferah organized an impecable itinerary including travel (van rental in Rome, drop off in Florence, train to Venice), accomodations (the apartment suite in Venice overlooking the canal was breathtaking!), and tours (the tour guide at the Vatican did a phenomenal job engaging the two kids, while giving us adults ample opportunity and time to enjoy all the history), while adjusting for our 2 days in Tuscany!!!

I can't imagine a better itinerary and trip than what we did. We fully intend to do a similar trip to Spain!!!

Amazing, memorable and stress-free travel!

Reviewed By Connie T. - San Francisco, CA | Traveled to Prague ~ Czech Republic ~ Europe
I absolutely loved working with Ferah Kutlu to plan a trip for my parents to travel throughout Europe on a group tour. She made sure it would be comfortable for my Senior parents during the many incredible city stays. My parents told me that she planned the most memorable European Trip they could have ever imagined. Soon after, I used Ferah Kutlu to plan our family trip to London, Prague and Budapest! She was extremely knowledgeable about the best hotels and tours. We experienced a very pleasurable trip with every detail attended to, starting with our airport transfers and continuing onto our room reservation requests! I will definitely use Ferah Kutlu for all of my future travel plans. She was very patient, professional and easy to work with, I highly recommend her to anyone desiring a phenomenal, stress-free vacation!

A wonderful agent, wonderful trips.

Reviewed By Sumru - Cupertino, CA | Traveled to St. Petersburg ~ Russia ~ Russia & Northwest Asia
She is an outstanding agent, deeply concerned about our experience. She will not cut any corners and provides us with full understanding of what expect us. During our travels, she always stays in touch with us, to assure that we do not have any disappointments. These include the hotel, hotel location, room, service, etc. During the reservation stage, she will meticulously question our expectation and will try to match them. Simply, she is a wonderful agent.
