" I recently came back from the trip Wonders of Turkiye 16 Dec-25 Dec. My family and I had the most 10 meaningful days of our lives during this trip. This trip wouldn’t be amazing without our amazing tour leader & tour guide: Mrs Rose Idris and Mr Yuksel, not to mention our bus captain, Mr Selcuk. With their patience and commitment, their collective efforts made this trip truly meaningful.
My family and I feel that the best travel experience that we ever had was boarding the hot air balloon. This is because Mrs Rose and Mr Yuksel tried to ensure that the travel group get to take the hot air balloon in Cappadocia instead of Pamukkale because the view there was much more better and beautiful. They attempted twice to ensure that we get to take the hot air balloon at Cappadocia, showing their commitment and perseverance. But overall, this travel as a whole is the best travel experience we had.
The turkish food was okay since my family and I don’t really fancy turkish food. However, there was once where we ate Indonesian food for dinner after travelling from Bursa to Istanbul. We would say that the food there was pretty delicious, especially the ox tail soup and the asam pedas. In addition, we would like to thank Mr Yuksel for the kebab he gave as our lunch on the last day in Istanbul before we set off to Singapore. c:
For praying time, Mrs Rose always gives reminders in the WhatsApp group chat and irl in the bus to ensure that we jatuhkan niat jamak taqdim and jamak takhir. Mrs Rose and Mr Yuksel also reminded us to bring along our solat kit before we alight from the bus when we were about to visit a mosque.
Last but not least, we are also definitely considering to go back to TravelConnect to try out the Eastern Europe or Spain-Morocco package next year. This is our second time travelling with TravelConnect and we would say that all the tour leaders are amazing. Tour leaders play an important role in the trips as their enthusiasm is truly what makes the trips very special. We would like to give a very big thanks to Mrs Rose for putting the effort to ensure that everyone feels included in the trip, taking photos every opportunity available, sharing her stories and encourage the heart. She truly has that values of an amazing leader. We would also like to give a very big thanks to Mr Yuksel for his time and effort for sharing the history and stories of not only monuments and iconic places we visited, but also the places that we could see from the bus such as the grape farms and factories. Lastly, we would also like to thank Mr Selcuk for being a patient bus captain and ensure that our bus rides were smooth and safe.
