    We did a 10 day tour of Turkey with Adams Holiday. From the start they were very easy to talk to. They responded very fast to our inquiry and they did their best to accommodate all our requests and changes. They were also helpful in giving suggestions to make the best possible itinerary for our interests. Our flight to Turkey was delayed but Adams Holiday was very quick to rearrange our tour so we were still able to go to all the places that we were supposed to go. There were different tour guides per area and they were able to give us top quality tour guides who had extensive knowledge about the area. The food was also very good! Thank you Adams Holiday for arranging a memorable trip for us!
