“Lovey guide who explained everything Aleyna came to the gas station to pick me up as I was completely new to Istanbul Great and tasty lunch Overall your team was excellent and beyond expectations Great Trip … shall recommend to all my family n friends”

“We appreciated this trip because it was smaller, more detailed, longer and more personal than a ferry ride. There were eleven people in our group, ranging in age from mid-20s through 70s. Our guide, Khalid, was knowledgeable about the four stops we visited, as well as about the political and cultural situation of modern-day Turkey. His narration was interspersed with personal anecdotes that gave us insights into Istanbul life and customs. The lunch was quite nice and freshly prepared, with a variety of typical Turkish elements. Though we had anticipated going slightly into the Black Sea, we were told that only special-visa passengers were allowed to do that. We did…”

“a part from emailing me in england to say be ready an hour earlier than stated on the booking form which meant 3 male;s were still having a turkish bath and we held the tour up by said 1 hour a very enjoyable time was had on the boat ,than a suprise swim again not mentioned in the itinerary but we went in all the same ,great lunch”

“VERY SURPRISED! My husband and I took this boat trip on the 8th of November. Lovely sunshine and warm. We were picked up at the hotel in the old town and got extremely surprised when we went onboard the boat - quite big, felt luxurious and very clean. We sat outside on large white faux leather sofas and they gave us welcome drinks and bits to snack on - all very good. We were lucky, only about 25 people on the whole big boat so we got first class service! On the way up to the Black Sea they served a fantastic lunch. The guide was very informativ and the…”

“A great way to spend the day in Trabzon! The monastery was very cool, but the entree fee was quite expensive (450 TL if I remember correctly). The cave was amazing too. I recommend this tour!”

“Me and my girlfriend enjoyed the trip so much! Bus was very clean. Driver was chilled and calm. Tour guide Iram was very friendly, spoke very good english, showed us many hidden locations and told us the story behind each one. The weather was not on pur side, a bit unlucky sumela was not crowded., but overall It was a nice experience for us ✌️”

“Wonderful meal, snacks, beverages. Friendly staff who speak a variety of languages. We enjoyed the short time to put our feet on Asian ground.”

“We had a nice experience, our guide took us and to all the places explaining what is unique about each. We had one issue communicating with the organizer as they don't confirm or get in touch with you until after the starting time of the trip.”

“Şamil and Hussein gave a great tour! Şamil was very knowledgeable about the area and was eager to answer any of our questions. Hussein drove safely and smoothly throughout the tour. We visited a Surmene knife store where we learned about the knives and were able to purchase some. We then visited a tea factory where we were able to taste the tea they produce, learn about the tea and its process, watch a dance from that region, and purchase any tea related products. After that we made our way to 3 viewpoints of Uzungöl. Şamil took us to a local restaurant that served authentic food from the region which…”

“I had been planning this trip to the Black Sea and Eastern Turkey for a year and it lived up to almost all my expectations. I have been to Turkey many times but never to this part of the country. The Black Sea highlight was of course the Sumela Monastery at Trabzon. But the ultimate goal was Mesopotamia, the cradle of civilization. Turkey is a country of myriad layers of civilization and history and we saw tons of it: prehistoric, Urathian, Roman ruins and mosAics, Syriac monasteries, Selcuk tombs, medieval bridges and current-day bazaars. But Turkey is also a gloriously beautiful country, hills, orchards (pistachios), fields and mountains, not least…”

“please choose a different tour operator, the tour guide could have shown us the best spot to take pictures in uzungol lake, and in the wine tasting we were left on our own and just wasted our time bec we don’t know where to go and we dRead more”

“Very well organised. Very professional tour guide and driver. Nice and clean car. Everything was perfect”

“before I availed "the swing" I asked how many minutes it will take , the guide told 5 minutes. but then it was only 1 min 50 sec approximately. I asked guide why did you tell me 5 minutes. he showed anger with me in such a way for his false fake word. he understood very well his fault that he shouldn't say this 5 minutes but he was arrogant enough to admit it and blamed on me. He was always silent while not talking much, every time I had to ask what is what ? he is not paid for sitting idle in a car , he is to…”

“The whole experience was so much fun. We enjoyed the tour”

“Trabzon is truly a must-see destination, and our tour guide, Ozkan, made it even more unforgettable! Ozkan’s knowledge and passion about the place were exceptional. The highlight for us was visiting Sumela Monastery – absolutely breathtaking! But what made the tour even more special was how Ozkan went above and beyond. Thanks to his thoughtful suggestion, we had the chance to visit a local market and explore Bedesten, which wasn’t part of the itinerary but still was an unforgettable experience. We also got to try their anchovies and ended the evening enjoying tea and Turkish coffee with some locals, truly immersing ourselves in the culture. A huge thank you to…”
