I do not work for the company but i wish some one who did would clear things up.

As i said on Trip Advisor.

I have a friend went on this trip she does not want be bombarded with questions. So I said i would write what know. with a little help from her. She and her family was on one of the first trips in January 2012. They received the offer from Catholic New York. They had a great time. All I know is that they received the trip for the advertised price. Plus an additional $299.00 for the cultrual package plus (i think that is what she called it.) It included the fees for access and dinner as well.. maybe someting else but i am not sure. -- sorry

I just went to there web page http://www.my-ae-travel.com/cms/index.php/ and looked at thier offered trip.

As for the question of hotels this page list the hotels used during the trips.

and yes it gives links to the hotels themselves so you can look. some look really nice. I might have to consider this offer.. looking more closely.

here it is the hotel in Istanbul http://www.istanbulroyalhotel.com

I am not sure why people are so quick to judge. But if you really have questions why not just send them an email. [email protected]

BTW, if you go to the references, i just saw that she either sent them a reference or posted it herself. .. I am suprised. Need to talk to her.
