An unmissable tour in Izmir, with an exceptional guide like Herman who speaks perfect Spanish, knowing the most important places like some of its Mosques, the clock square, its market, the agora , the elevator and viewpoint with our guide who made this activity an unforgettable experience, exceeded all our expectations.

Interesting tour in general. Would like more information from guide. Many times quiet and not forward with information. Had to ask many questions. Encourage guide to create more relationships with market vendors and share their stories. Two vendor stops with known owners made for a delightful visit. Would want more of this along with history.

It was wonderful to see Izmir through Erman’s eyes. Erman , in great detail gave us the history of Izmir leading upto the present day city. He took us to some wonderful neighbourhoods through an ancient lift. We had some refreshments with a beautiful view of the city. Our walk through the Kemeralti market gave us a flavour of the city’s bazaar. His attention to details while explaining the neighbourhood synagogues was on point He gave us a very detailed history of the Agora and its ruins All in all, Izmir came alive through his enthusiastic details and we were very happy to have done the tour with him

We really liked the tour of Smyrna, the great Erman guide, took us to the interesting places of the city, left us enough free time to drink, eat and rest. He told us the story of the city and the explanations were very interesting. He guides very well with the English and Spanish languages. We will repeat with him without doubt
