“…awesome experience of a Ya’lla Tour…”

We had the awesome experience of a Ya'lla Tour on a Nile Cruise Nov. 7-10, 2008. Much to our surprise, we were the only Ya'lla folks on this tour and had the very special and incredible experience of spending our 3 days with Ahmed Ezz. I'm sure you always get rave reviews about Ahmed but please let us add to that confirmation. Ahmed is an amazing guide, individual and, now, a friend. Ahmed's knowledge of Egyptology, his "heart" about his homeland and his wonderful personality made our time with him just incredible.

All of the Ya'lla personnel who made sure we were in the right places at the right times did a phenomenal job. Everyone was gracious, professional and very accommodating.

Happy Holidays to you all,
~Barbara and Bill Nielsen



“…our wholehearted thanks…”

This trip demonstrated the beauty and generous hospitality of Morocco. My brother and I are extremely happy with our shared experience, which we could not have had without Ya'lla Tours. We believe in our short time here we can fully say that we know more about and appreciate the Moroccan culture and landscape...we were graciously guided by Sofi and for that we give our whole hearted thanks.

Sincerely,
~Chris and Parker Butterworth




“…the most wonderful trip…”

This was the most wonderful trip. The timing of everything was perfect. We were so glad we had our guide in Konya and Cappadocia. Our guide was immensely helpful, far beyond the call of duty. Thank you so much for the care to details and planning. I'll use your company in the future.

~Ms. W. Barrett

“…best tour in years…”

“…We were treated like royalty…It is again a privilege to see a company that understands what customer service is all about…“

My spouse and I had a GREAT TIME with your tour. We were treated like royalty. I cannot say enough about your guides. Knowledgeable, understanding of physical limitations of myself, and extremely funny when they warmed up to us. Your meet and greet guy, Michael, in Cairo was unbelievable. He met us in the controlled area and literally walked us through and around all the other tourist and others arriving on our flight. Michael had a driver...this gentalman was GREAT. He was ALWAYS there to help me and my spouse in and out of the AIR-CONDITIONED VAN. He even stopped and got us COLD bottled water without having to be asked on more than one occasion.

I could go on forever. George in Luxor was phenomenal. Not only did he get us a great room but he also insured we arrived at places before the large crowds when at all possible, and when not, he took us to other areas where tourist normally do not see until the masses thinned out. The lady in Cairo, Mahmet, was excellent. She helped us understand more about the faiths of Egypt, the culture of Egypt, and the people of Egypt. She should be on television. She could teach the world to be more tolerant.

I'm pleased to say thankyou from the bottom of my heart to all of those that made our vacation so GREAT.

Did I forget to say, Michael and George always took care of EVERYTHING. I mean down to wake up calls, airport security, airline tickets, last night in Cairo dinner that will always be remembered as one of the GREATEST times of our lives.


Sincerely,
~Herbert and Elizabeth Belcher




“…the attention we received from everyone will be long remembered…”

We want to let you know how terrific we found our Ya'lla Tour through Morocco. If Morocco wasn't spectacular enough in itself, Moulay and Nouri, our driver, made it even more so. Our accommodations were superb and the attention we received from everyone will be long remembered. Thanks for your wonderful service.

~Mr. B. Atherton



“…I will highly recommend Ya'lla to friends…”

Beautiful ship, excellent crew, delicious food. Everything about our tour was well planned and carried out every step of the way. I will highly recommend Ya'lla to friends.

~Robert and Mary Potestio



“…Everything you promised was done…”

I can't describe how wonderful my trip to Greece and Turkey was, thanks to you and all of your wonderful staff in Oregon and overseas. If I had gone to Athens and Istanbul and hand picked guides, arrangements, restaurant and places to tour it couldn't have been better. Everything you promised was done.

Thanks for everything,
~Ms. V. Hufford



“…one of the most extraordinary vacations we've ever taken…”

We wanted to write and tell you what a magnificent time we had on our recent trip to Egypt. Everything was simply marvelous, from our arrival in Cairo, Nile Cruise, sighting itinerary, accommodations, travel to Sharm El Sheikh, Mt. Sinai and back to Cairo, everything was first rate.

As frequent travlers abroad, we both agree that this was one of the most extraordinary vacations we've ever taken. We believe it was due in large part to the meticulous care and dedication with which you put together our package. Every detail was attended to; every aspect was fine tuned and executed in the most professional fashion.


In peace,
~Julie and Norma Hadnot



“…Everything about this tour was first rate…”

My wife and I just returned from your Ultimate Jordan tour, which we enjoyed tremendously.

Everything about this tour was first rate. But the real reason for writing this letter is to call your attention to the extraordinary service provided by our private guide, Ahmad Al-Khalidi.

Mr. Al-Khalidi's expertise, charm, personal insights and consummate professionalism were the key factors in our enjoyment of this travel experience.

Thanks for a wonderful trip.


Yours truly,
~E. Kloetzli
