A more personal way to travel

In another world in Greece and Turkey My husband and I recently spent nearly two weeks traveling through Greece and Turkey, focusing specifically on history and food. Bülent was incredible right from the first planning meeting until we boarded our flights home. From the start, his attention to detail regarding our preferences and the trip's execution was outstanding. We have traveled extensively, and I would rank this experience among our very best. Logistically, every detail was handled seamlessly: we were checked into flights before arriving, meals appeared exactly when needed, all our drivers were patient and respectful, and all transfers were effortless. At every historical site, we were met by incredibly knowledgeable guides who provided in-depth answers to our most detailed questions. Special thanks to Veroniki in Santorini, Jacob in Akrotiri, and Dimitrious at the Acropolis in Athens – they are some of the finest guides we have ever toured with. We also want to definitely highlight Mustafa in Istanbul; his energy was infectious as he spent three days showing us the city's sights, culture, and flavors while accommodating our every request. Our only not-as-good-as-the-rest day was a day in Ephesus, which felt was a bit unstructured and didn't quite follow the plans as expected. Everything else was basically perfect. Above everything, we enjoyed Nicolas's hospitality in Greece and Bülent's outstanding planning and prompt coordination of the entire journey. Regardless of the time or location, Bülent was always available to assist us instantly whenever we needed help. This trip was so inspiring that are hoping to plan a return visit. I recommend Veni Vidi without hesitation for anyone looking to arrange exceptional travel.

Amazing Trip to Turkey and Greece! This was the trip of a lifetime! We spent six days in Turkey and seven days in Greece. We experienced the best of both countries thanks to Veni Vidi Travel. Bülent took care of all of the details and stayed in touch with us during the trip to make sure everything was according to the wonderful itinerary he planned for us. Everything ran so smoothly. The tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable and were such a good fit for our personalities. The hotels were amazing and Bulent had a few special surprises for us as well. We couldn’t have chosen a better travel agent for our trip.

Great trip to Greece I recently traveled to Greece with friends to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, The arrangements made by Bulent Albayrak were great. The drivers, guides, accommodations, and restaurants arranged were all exceptional. Everyone we dealt with was personable and professional. It made for a great trip. Plus Bulent made some wonderful upgrades to our trip and made a trip to Athens to meet us which was a real treat.

Best Wedding Anniversary Ever! On the occasion of our 50th wedding anniversary, my wife and I wanted to plan an exceptional travel experience. We were travelling with two friends. Bulent Albayrak, the proprietor of Veni Vedi Travel, personally arranged our original custom Turkey/Greece itinerary, which included historic, cultural and food experience tours of Istanbul and Cappadocia. This also included a private yacht experience on the Bosphorus Strait and a hot air balloon experience in Cappadocia. My original contact with Bulent was via video call. He is a people person and was very warm and enthusiastic. He has been in the business 30+ years and has extensive personal knowledge of hotels, restaurants, tours, etc. in this region. He has close personal relations with most of providers he deals with. After several discussions, I felt like he was a family member. Unfortunately, hostilities broke out in the Mid-East and we elected to cancel the Turkey portion of our trip. He knew this was our 50th wedding anniversary celebration and added some personal touches to our remaining Greece itinerary. We first traveled to Santorini and stayed in Oia... our third time there (the first for our companions). Of course, the views were incredible. The food was amazing! The Akrotiri archaeological site, the Santos winery, and the private boat ride to Thirassia were all highlights. However, in Athens, we got the big anniversary surprise. Upon arrival, we found that our hotel had been upgraded (Hotel Grand Bretagne!). Upon arrival at the hotel, guess who greeted us in person? It was Bulent! He had flown from Istanbul to Athens to meet us... wow! And there were other personal surprises as well. Highlights of our mainland experience included private tours to Poseidon's Temple in Sounion and the Acropolis and privately led tours the local markets and the Plaka…. all very educational and great fun! The finale was our farewell dinner at Zonar’s in Athens, with outdoor balcony seating and the lighted Acropolis as a visual backdrop... amazing! Thank you Veni Vidi! Thank you Bulent!

Architecture and culture. This is the second time I used Veni Vidi for travel. The last excursion was to Greece, Egypt, and Turkey. Recently, Morocco was the destination. The personal care and attention given by Bulent, the owner, was unsurpassed and every guide was an expert. I only wish the company had more destinations around the world so that I could use it again.

Wonderful family vacation We started planning our trip to Greece and Turkey over 6 months before our travel dates. Bulent was very patient with us during the planning process as I had a bit of a difficult schedule to work around and he was always accommodating, including being available for conference calls with us in the US despite the time difference. Our trip was wonderful. He made good hotel suggestions, had comfortable transportation for us, and remained available when we needed him. The app he uses to help coordinate the trip is very convenient and he checked us in and uploaded all our travel documents into the app when we were traveling between cities. Some highlights included: -a surprise birthday dinner for me upon arrival with a view of the Acropolis from the restaurant -an amazing view in Santorini from the hotel suite -a personal lunch visit from Bulent during our Istanbul city tour Overall, we would highly recommend Veni Vidi!

Wunderschöner Tagesausflug in Fethiye Bülent Bey hat für uns einen privaten Tagesausflug in Fethiye organisiert, Saklikent, Gizli selale und eine tolle Bootstour ab Olüdeniz. Es hat alles perfekt geklappt, sehr netter Fahrer und toller Kapitän! Danke für den tollen Tag und die kurzfristige Planung!

One of the BEST excursion experiences we’ve ever had while traveling! We booked the 4x4 Safari Adventure with Veni Vidi Travel in Fethiye, and the entire experience was exceptional from beginning to end. The tour included Saklıkent Canyon, the mud baths, and Gizlikent Waterfall — every stop was beautiful, fun, and well planned. What really made the experience stand out was the professionalism and honesty of the company, especially the owner, Bülent. He was incredibly helpful, transparent, and genuinely cared about making sure we chose the best experience for us rather than simply trying to sell a tour. That level of honesty is rare and very appreciated. The timing and organization were excellent, transportation was smooth, the staff were energetic and welcoming, and the overall vibe throughout the day was amazing. You could tell the whole team enjoys what they do, and it reflects in the quality of the experience. We’ve booked excursions in many different countries, and Veni Vidi Travel honestly ranks among the best companies we’ve ever dealt with. If you’re visiting Fethiye and considering a safari or excursion, we strongly recommend booking with Veni Vidi Travel. Absolutely worth it!

A great experience My husband and I recently used Veni Vidi to celebrate our wedding anniversary in Turkey and we had an incredible experience. There was so much we wanted to see and do. Bulent did his very best to include everything we asked for in the itinerary. We spent time in Istanbul, Iznik, Izmir and Cappadocia with private transfers and someone who picked us up directly from the airport. The hotel accomodations were incredible, our tour guides were so knowledgeable and friendly and the experiences he arranged (hot air balloon, safari ride etc.) were great. We are excited to plan another trip with Veni Vidi soon because of how much we loved this experience. Thank you again Bulent and team for taking such good care of us.

Turkey - Istanbul, Pamukkale, Antalya, and Cappadocia We went to Turkey for 12 days and visited Istanbul, Pamukkale, Antalya, and Cappadocia in the latter half of April. (Note - the current US travel advisory level for Turkey is 2 - the same as the UK, France, Italy, etc.) Bülent's support before and during the trip was outstanding - he answered our many requests and queries quickly and thoroughly. He was also very proactive to any changes that were beyond his control. Due to weather, we couldn't take the iconic balloon trip in Cappadocia so Bülent refunded the money back to us within the hour of the cancellation - amazing. Visits to major sites were seamless since we didn't have to line up for tickets and as a private group, we could adjust our schedule on the fly. Highly recommended!

Turkey Highlights. We have just returned from an amazing first trip to Turkey. A huge big thanks to Bülent for very thoughtfully and efficiently planning every step of the itinerary.There were no hiccups and our trip proceeded like clockwork.We travelled March 6th-15th,2026 and were happy to find Turkey completely at peace and very hospitable.Look forward to planning our next trip with Veni Vidi!

Jordan trip I am glad that i joined Veni Vidi's tour to Jordan in Feb 2026, finished right before the middle east war outbreak. Mr Bulent have helped we, group of 4, tailor made a tour that we don't have much idea about the country and with a lot of demands that the plan have highly fulfilled what we requested. During the trip, tour guide Mr Fadi able to answer 99% of our questions, no matter it's about thousand years of history and culture of the country, among different religions, or nowadays how's people living. Another shout out to our driver Mr Kahli, as a person who have been join many different tours in many different country, most of the driver will only drive and zero contact with the tour group that Mr Kahli speak good English and make sure we have visit as much as places even the traffic is not so friendly to us. Last but not least, Jordan is a great country that i would love to visit again. After the first trip that we know it is safer than we expected, Mr Fadi and Kahli have resolved a lot of puzzle in our mind and correct many misunderstand from stereo type thinking about the country from people who never visited.

Amazing Jordan Our Treasures of Jordan journey in February 2026 was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Despite the unexpected flight cancellation and last-minute schedule adjustments, everything was handled with remarkable professionalism and calm. Fadi, our guide, was exceptional — knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply proud of his country. His warmth and storytelling brought Jordan’s rich history and culture vividly to life at every site we visited. Khalil, our driver, was equally wonderful — always punctual, safe, knowledegeable and kind, making every journey comfortable and relaxed. Together, they showed incredible flexibility in rearranging the itinerary to accommodate our changed arrival, yet still ensured we experienced most of the important historical and cultural highlights. Jordan itself was such a beautiful surprise. From the amazing historical sites of Jerash and Petra to the dramatic landscape of Wadi Rum ; to the serenity of the Dead Sea, every day revealed something breathtaking. The depth of history, the richness of culture, and most of all, the genuine warmth and hospitality of the people made this trip truly special. We leave with grateful hearts, wonderful memories, and a deep appreciation for this extraordinary country and the amazing team of Veni Vidi who made it all possible.

Great Experience in Jordan I had great experience in Jordan, rich in History, great View, nice food & accommodation, they prepared plan very well and even accommodated to our last minute request, thank you!

All you need is Bulent’s magical planning and arrangement! Bulent is exceptional when it comes to customer service and satisfaction. He met with us at the resort to first understand our family interests and constraints. He came up with customized plan for us- the island hopping, the parasailing, even the hotel in Istanbul on our way back. Can’t find a better travel consultant. I am reaching out to him for our next exotic excursion for sure!

Trip of a lifetime We contracted Bulent and Veni Vidi for an 18 day in country tour of Turkey. From our first call together we new we had a firm that was dedicated to making the most of our adventure. Bulent's personal attention to all the details was unsurpassed in our experience. You cannot go wrong with using Veni Vidi they truly strive to please.

Exceptional Egypt Trip! This is the second trip we have booked with Bulent, and I can not recommend him enough. You will find so much more than a travel planner - he is a true friend. Every detail will be meticulously planned based on your preferences - and even beyond! He is an expert at creating trips that are the perfect mix of fun, excitement, and relaxation. We have traveled to Turkey and Egypt as a multi-generational family, and Bulent has won all ages over with his perfectly planned itineraries. He has created two of the most special trips I have taken with my family, and I am truly grateful for all he has done. If you are unsure about booking a trip, please go ahead and let Bulent plan the trip of a lifetime!

ONE MONTH TRIP TO GREECE AND TURKEY Our trip started with a chance meeting in a campground 18 months before, new friends and an invite to Kalkan. The more we studied Turkey, the more we wanted an expert to help us plan our trip. We hit gold, with Veni Vidi Travel! We interviewed a number of agents. Multiple cities - multiple guides, the guides were able to view our itinerary and build on the history based on what we had already seen. Veni Vidi Travel (Bulent) was in touch with us/our guides almost daily, and was a step ahead of any scheduling disruptions. (i.e. the weather)Veni Vidi Travel took the time to get familiar with us so that our itinerary was customized for our preferences of places, food, selection of guides and physically active traveling.We felt safe at all times and found the trip offered unique opportunities and experiences that only someone with local knowledge would know. Overall, we felt that the level of service and organization from Veni Vidi Travel was of high value and the cost well worth it. We would, and likely will, book with Veni Vidi travel again.We came, we saw....we had an unforgettable trip

The honeymoon of our dreams Speaking with Bulent instantly put me at ease. He listened so thoughtfully to what we wanted — a mix of relaxation, exploration, and local experiences — and from that moment, I had total confidence that he would create something unforgettable for us. And he absolutely delivered.From the moment we landed in Turkey to the moment we left, everything was seamless. Our airport transfers, accommodations, tours, and experiences were perfectly coordinated. Every guide we met was exceptional — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing Turkey’s history and culture. We learned so much and felt truly connected to every place we visited.What stood out most, though, was Bulent’s thoughtfulness. Even though we had gone over our itinerary together, he still managed to surprise us throughout the trip with little touches that made it feel so special — exactly what a honeymoon should be. We enjoyed incredible food, breathtaking sights, and moments that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.This trip will forever be one of the most meaningful experiences of our lives, and it’s all thanks to Bulent and the Veni Vidi Travel team. He genuinely takes the time to get to know you and crafts experiences that feel personal and intentional in every way.If you’re considering a trip to Turkey, I can’t recommend Bulent and Veni Vidi Travel highly enough. And even though we saw so much on this trip, we know there’s still more to explore — and when we return, there’s no question that we’ll be planning it with Bulent again.

Veni Vedi Turkish experience Our trip was amazing. Bulent thought of everything down to the smallest detail. Everything was taken care of, the guides were excellent and it was the trip of a lifetime. We experienced ancient ruins, cooking, beach retreats and a balloon ride. We left feeling like we got a complete Turkish visit.

Exceptional service to deliver a delightful experience From planning to end of trip reminders, Bulent gave personalized attentive service. Great use of digital app to keep track of the itinerary. When hiccups or delays happened, Bulent tracked and updated us, and adjusted schedule accordingly. If you like everything to work like clockwork but okay letting someone take care of you so you can just enjoy your vacation, this is where it happens.Bulents recommendations and partners were also top quality. We enjoyed all our guides.The sites, sounds and taste of Tukiye spoke for themselves. Great experience all around.

Visit to Cappadocia Veni Vedi travel arrange a private tour to Cappadocia at short notice. Everything that was described was provided. The local guide was excellent, knowledgeable, flexible and fun. VV travel found our requirements and what we wanted and fulfilled all the needs.Highly recommend them and would use again

Magical! Really transports one through time and space in more ways than one. It was an absolutely beautiful experience. Bulent and his team were spectacular in making all the arrangements for a 12 day multi-stop holiday across Türkiye. The guides were informative and truly passionate about their country. Herset in particular went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were very well fed and had a true appreciation of the history and the founding of the country. Most memorable holiday!

A wonderful Turkey vacation Bulent was great in helping to plan out the trip, including various suggestions to cater to our individual needs. He also curated a list of guides in each of the locations who were very knowledgeable and really took care of us. On top of all that, the various upgrades and surprises were just the icing on the cake for a truly enjoyable vacation

Off the beaten path in comfort. Veni Vidi put together our trip to Turkiye. We were a group of three friends who wanted to see some off the trail places. Veni Vidi made it happen seamlessly. The transportation and guides were of the highest quality. Making changes or adjustments were no problem. I highly recommend this company for travel in Turkiye.
