Dentro del parque nacional, se utilizan minibuses compartidos, seguidos de una caminata de 300 metros a lo largo de un camino forestal para llegar al monasterio. Antes de entrar en el Monasterio de Sümela, visite la Capilla de Santa Bárbara, que ofrece uno de los mejores miradores para admirar el monasterio situado dramáticamente contra las montañas.

Absolutely — here’s a warm, enthusiastic review that highlights Taner personally and the experience: An Amazing Day with an Excellent Guide – Taner! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Sumela Monastery, Zigana, and Hamsiköy Village tour, and a huge part of what made the day so special was our guide, Taner. Taner was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and patient. He shared so much fascinating information about the history, culture, and beautiful places we visited, but he also made the tour feel relaxed and personal. He was always attentive to our needs and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. Sumela Monastery was breathtaking, and seeing the stunning landscapes around Zigana and visiting beautiful Hamsiköy made the day unforgettable. Taner knew the best spots to stop, take photos, and truly appreciate the scenery. What impressed us most was Taner’s genuine hospitality. He didn’t just feel like a tour guide — he made us feel like we were exploring the region with a knowledgeable local friend. I highly recommend this tour, and especially recommend Taner as your guide. If you are visiting Trabzon, this is a tour you should absolutely put on your list. We will remember this experience for a long time! Thank you, Taner, for such a fantastic day! 🇹🇷❤️
We had a lovely time visiting Sümela Monastery and Zigana, they are truly beautiful places. Taner bey is a very knowledgeable and kind tour guide with lots of information to share about Trabzon and the history of the region and Hüseyn bey is the coolest driver. It was a great way to experience the sights and the nature with this team.

We had a wonderful day visiting Sumela Monastery.

Me and my friends visited Súmela Monastery. I recommend this tour as it’s a good price for a great time .Had great experience with very nice people. The tour guide was great . Overall atmosphere was very nice and friendly, we had enough time to walk around, eat and go to the souvenir stores . We were in a small group which was very nice although it is quite crowded in the Monastery.
Thank you so much for your kind review and recommendation. We are very happy to hear that you and your friends enjoyed the Sümela Monastery, Zigana and Hamsiköy Village Tour with us. We hope to welcome you again to Trabzon and the Black Sea region on another trip.
We had a wonderful tour with Taner as our guide and Hassan as our driver. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Taner is incredibly knowledgeable about history and explains everything in great detail—you can tell he truly loves what he does. What makes it even more special is that he's the owner of the company, and he comes from a small village in Trabzon. His personal connection to the region really added a unique, authentic touch to the experience. Highly recommend!
Dear Ayman, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a kind review. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with you and to explore Sümela, Zigana and Hamsiköy together. We are very happy to hear that the tour went smoothly and that you enjoyed the places we visited. Hassan and I truly appreciate your kind words and your recommendation. We hope to welcome you again in Trabzon or in another beautiful part of Türkiye. Warm regards, Taner
Amazing experience and landscapes. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided interesting historical facts. The restaurant's view and food were very good.
Thank you so much, Radwan! We’re very happy you enjoyed the tour, the landscapes and the guiding experience.
This is the transportation option to Sumela, departing from downtown Trabzon. So glad we took a tour instead of driving, which could have been challenging on some roads. Our driver and guide Senca were such fun. At some point several scarfed Turkish tourists on on mini bus asked the driver to turn up the traditional music. All we needed was a disco ball. Much singing from the Turks and hand clapping from us made for the most joyful tour ever. We loved the drive through the mountains, villages, tunnels, a stop for a delish lunch and a last stop for pudding . Remember that this is a transportation tour and entrance fees and food are paid by the traveler. It was a highlight of our Black Sea adventure. So glad we booked Zenofon tours. Good company.

We're truly happy to hear that you had such a great time with your tour leader Senca and that the spontaneous moments with traditional music made your journey so memorable.

“I joined a group tour with Zenofon Tours in Trabzon and it was excellent. Our guide, Taner Demirbulut, was outstanding. Even though I was the only English speaker in the group, he made sure to translate everything for me so I wouldn’t miss any of the history or explanations. That personal attention really made the tour special for me. The whole experience was well organized, the places were beautiful, and Taner clearly knows his stuff. I felt taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend Zenofun tours.
Dear Hamood, thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Zenofon Tours in Trabzon. We are very happy to hear that our tour guide Taner’s translations and personal attention helped you enjoy the history, explanations, and the whole experience more deeply. Knowing that our guests leave the tour happy truly motivates us; it was a pleasure to host you, and we hope to welcome you again in Turkey.
I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Taner as your tour guide as he was excellent. He spoke English well and took his time to explain the historical significance of all the locations we visited. The monastery is breathtaking and a must see. We ended the tour with a delicious meal at a restaurant in the mountains with an amazing view overlooking the valley below. Do not miss this.
Dear Babe, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was a real pleasure having you and your family on the tour, and we’re delighted you enjoyed the experience with our guide Taner. Our guide Taner’s passion for sharing the history and stories of each location is what truly makes these tours special. Sumela Monastery has such a unique atmosphere, and it’s great to hear you felt that. Ending the day in Hamsiköy with that stunning valley view and a delicious meal is exactly the kind of moment we hope our guests take with them. We’re grateful you chose to explore Trabzon with us, and if your travels bring you back this way, we’d love to welcome you again.
The trip is very expensive on this website. I paid ~58 USD and others in same trip paid 25 USD and 35 USD through local companies or other websites and it was on spot booking. The difference in price is big. Check ur options before u book ur trip. I felt scammed tbh.
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour experience. Regarding the price, we would like to clarify an important point. On our local website, hotel pick-up is offered as an optional service, not included in the base tour price. When this service is added, the total cost reaches a similar level. In fact, even when hotel pick-up and drop-off are included, our direct website prices for a single participant are generally aligned with the prices shown on platforms like Viator and Tripadvisor. However, platforms like Viator and Tripadvisor do not offer flexible pricing structures for optional services, so these are usually included in the listed price by default. Our priority is always to provide fair pricing and high-quality service, with transparent options for our guests. Thank you again for your honest review, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.
