Our Team – Let's do it your way!

We have been delighted to be able to bring the diversity of Turkey closer to our guests with our knowledge and expertise for over ten years. Above all, the joy and enthusiasm of our participants in IBE Travel Reisen have repeatedly proven to us that we are on the right track with individual trips. The vision of the founder and managing director Eda Karaatli Rentsch is to be able to share her home country with all its colorful facets in a passionate, honest and authentic way. We can only implement this basic idea with the help of our very experienced and specially trained team.

Because we only offer individual trips, each trip is composed differently and requires differently trained experts for planning and implementation. In order to do justice to this diversity, our team consists of several freelance employees and the respective travel partners on site. We would like to briefly introduce some of our central team members to you here:

Eda Karaatli Rentsch was born in 1973 in Ankara, Turkey. She is a graduate of Ege University, where she studied journalism, and later obtained another academic diploma from the Department of International Economics in Germany.
