Dear Travelling Friends,
As of 2015, I have stopped leading tours to Turkey. With 38 years of
experience, our Cultural Folk Tours USA will, of course, continue to
conduct tours with our usual excellent guides, vehicles and hotels. All
Turkey tours will stay 3 nights at my Cappadocia Cave Suites hotel where
I will semi-retire. I am proud to see that my cave hotel, which I created, is
rated very highly by TripAdvisor as a most boutique hotel. We serve
travellers from 110 countries.
For 2016, I still have the passion to travel the world & share my
knowledge with fellow travellers. I plan to lead a tour to IRAN and the
CHINESE SILK ROAD & TIBET. Both destinations will be a first for me
but, as usual, I will work with the best local companies, facilities, guides
and make these tours most memorable. I will of course bring my flute &
other folk instruments to perform with the locals and add more fun to the
experience.
In 2016 we hope you will join us either at my lovely cave hotel in
Cappadocia or on one of my tours in my final few years of travel.
