History tour - It was a wonderful tour!!! The most important goal for me was Mount Nemrut and getting there was dazzled. Access is easier than I thought and we enjoyed the sunset listening to the voices of the sculptures, the heads, the stones. Gobeklitepe also excites to see so much development and technical resolution in the oldest so far found. I liked the hotels, although there were some little problems with the hot water. Very good our guide and driver.

A Journey Through Time — Truly Unforgettable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This tour was beyond incredible — it felt like stepping into the heart of ancient history. Mount Nemrut was absolutely surreal at sunrise, with the giant stone heads glowing in golden light. You can feel the spiritual energy of the place — peaceful, powerful, and humbling. Göbekli Tepe was equally mind-blowing. Standing in front of the world’s oldest known temple structure gave me chills. Our guide Kadir was deeply knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the stories and symbolism to life in a way that made the experience even more meaningful. From the stunning landscapes to the sacred energy of each site in Mesopotamia, everything was perfectly paced and thoughtfully organized. If you're even remotely interested in ancient civilizations, spirituality, or archaeology — go. This trip is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of magic.

We were on a 3-day tour... - We were on a 3-day tour to Nemrut Mountain and Gobeklitepe with our guide Kadir and it was absolutely amazing. This part of Türkiye is still a bit less touristic but stunning. We were very impressed by the site of Göbekli Tepe which is rewriting our knowledge of early development of civilization and the beauty of the sunset at Mount Nemrut is a must see like simply every activity on that tour. Kadir is very knowledgeable and very friendly. The explanations were detailed and precise. Many of them were crucial to our understanding of the historical process of archeology. He took the time to point out important details about modern Türkiye as well. The accommodations were perfect, especially the one in Sanlıurfa and the food was great everywhere. We strongly recommend this tour. Thank you, Kadir for a wonderful time.

Unforgettable experience - An amazing tour, showing the parts of Turkey rarely seen by tourists. If you're appreciates history or want to see what life is like in the countryside - this tour is for you. Mehmet and Osman were amazing and looked after us very well. Mehmet was a great guide and had insights to many of places we went to. He also had a lot of patience and let us take our time in the areas we visited. Osman is a great driver and really took care of us. There was not an item in the itinerary that was a filler, every place we visited was an eye opener. If you want to experience the real Turkiye this tour is for you.

Amazing tour! - We did a private tour with Kadir and Osman. Kadir is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and fun. It’s amazing how much he knows and about so many different topics, he can answer all your questions! He helped choose the food (veggie options), made sure we were well looked after everywhere we went. They give you time to explore the areas with no pressure, after his talks. Osman is a really good driver and a fantastic . We’ve learnt so much on this trip. It’s such good value. The van is super comfortable. The places we stayed were really nice, beautiful typical Turkish houses, super comfortable and good breakfast. We highly recommend it!

Wonderful 3-day tour😍 - (EN) It was a wonderful 3-day tour. As a solo traveler, I found it economical because transportation and accommodation were included. However, Kadir's knowledgeable commentary and conversations during the trip made it an unforgettable 3 days. I was able to visit many historical sites in Türkiye that I couldn't experience on a group tour. I recommend this tour to experienced travelers as you can get a better feel for the local atmosphere! (JA) 移動および宿泊を任せられるプライベートツアーなので、英語でのコミュニケーションが可能であれば絶対おすすめです!融通もきいてもらえたので、一人旅行の中盤に有意義な時間を過ごせました。

Highly recommend - Highly recommend this trip. Mount Nemrut, Gobekli tepe, and the mosaic museum are amazing. Our guide Kadir was friendly, helpful, and informative. He also took us to local restaurants and introduced us to wonderful food. Driver Osman was excellent. The hotels were nice and clean, the only issue being that water did not get hot ( may have been temporary problem).

Unique experience in South Eastern Turkiye - I had been looking forward to my trip to Turkiye for a long time, especially to see this part of the country. This tour did not disappoint. Kadir, my guide, was very kind professional and knowledgeable and Mr. Osman, our driver was such a sweet man and he took the best pictures and videos. I appreciated their Turkish hospitality. HOTELS: All comfortable and excellent stays, I particularly loved the hotel in Sanliurfa FOOD: My meals were included, breakfast is typically very filling Turkish breakfast and lunch servings in SE Turkiye were very generous, I was so full one day after trying the Urfa kebab I skipped dinner. SITES: Mt. Nemrut was incredible and so was Gobekli Tepe. I enjoyed seeing other cultural and archaeological sites I had not thought of before, like the Zeugma Museum- don't miss that. Unfortunately, the Cave of Abraham was closed for repairs when we arrived and this was very disappointing as this was one of the main reasons for the trip. I still can't seem to find any information about it being closed online and didn't know before going. I did however spend time at the Bakiligol lake, which was beautiful and relaxing. I would love to hopefully go back to see it one day and also spend more time in Sanliurfa as I found the people there to be extremely kind and inviting. If you get the opportunity to go on this tour please do so. I cannot recommend it enough, hopefully, Kadir and Osman are your guides.
