Those people were just so cool. Thank you for this nice visit that you made for all of us.
7-8 hours of car time, tour guide did not interact with us at all! He talked Turkish with the driver while sitting in the front seat. Some history or local facts would have helped! He got dropped off early and driver took us back to the hotel. Also, lunch was a fiasco as well!! Would not recommend him as a tour guide given the price we paid for the tour!!!!
Very professional and accommodating driver and guide making the visit a very pleasant experience. We were the only ones in the party and they made it a nice day trip for the family
Missing the coach putting me in a taxi for the whole journey paying for my lunch that I had already paid for I have waited 3yrs for this trip and it was spoilt for me the taxi driver didn’t tell me nothing I got bk to the hotel and cried
Ertugrul tomb and the change of guards. It was very nice. the drive was long but we enjoyed to see the countryside
Best tour ever it is worth the money never forget it I recommend everyone who is interested to visit this place. Unforgettable journey a big thanks to the guide.
Thank you very much for your review. Appreciated.
Seeing the actual tombs and burial sites makes everything that you read about and see in films real!
The journey was worth it! Our guide Musa made it so interesting for us. His extensive knowledge about history made the trip more amazing. Loved the market too, it had stuff with the most reasonable prices. I hope all travellers get guides like Musa!!😄
Ertugrul Gazi tour was amazing. A long ride but was comfortable. I was a big fan of Turkey TV series Resurrection on netflix. Ibrahim was our tour guide. He picked us up at the hotel and lunch included. If you are fan of Resurrection TV series and history. A must see.
This was an excellent tour. Exceeded my expectations. My tour guide Onur was great and very knowledgeable. The ride to Sogut and Bilecik was comfortable. It was amazing visiting and seeing everything with my own eyes. It was a humbling experience paying my respects to Ertugrul Gazi and his companions. Glad I booked this company and I would highly recommend them! Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for your reviews and great to hear that you have a nice honeymoon. Hope to see you again. Regards Mehmet Darga
