  • Mystical Mesopotamia  9 Days of Discovery in Southeastern Turkey reviewer 1
    · May 9th, 2025
    The tour operator, Umut Kurt from Guide of Ephesus, communicated well, providing reminders and updates for things I needed to do in plenty of time. I ask a lot of questions, and Umut always responded quickly. We had three guides: Sabri Şahin for 5 days in the east, Bünyamin Kavak for Sultanahmet, Ayasofya, and Topkapı Saray on Monday, and Imran for Bosphorus boat ride and Spıce Bazaar on Tuesday. Each was knowledgeable and professional, but Sabri deserves special mention. It seemed like everywhere we went, other guides, restaurant owners, and more recognized him. All said we had gotten the best guide for the entire area. I agree. Sabri was not only knowledgeable, but he improvised things to do based on our interests and the weather. We feel that we have made a lasting friendship with him. In 60+ years of international travel, this was the first time I have ever taken an organized tour. The experience was very good, if somewhat exhausting, as we had a great deal to cover on every day of the tour. Umut did a great job of keeping us informed so there were no surprises.
