It is bittersweet for me to write this review, because the tour was fine and Emir takes great care for his groups. However, my friend and I hired a 10-day tour, with stops, hotels and activities defined and included. But when we arrived in Turkey we saw that we were on a private tour with a group more interested in visiting ruins and archaeological sites, which was not what we wanted or agreed. We lost a lot of time on the road, a lot of time in factories of all kinds, and what hurt me the most: not being able to meet Bursa because you had to go to Troy (the pictures I attach are of that set of stones). In addition, we were charged extra for activities that were supposedly already included in our package, such as the visit to Topkapi Palace and the Turkish show in Cappadocia, which we were charged in cash. There was also theme with hotels. Turkey is not around the corner, it is a pity to go there to be disappointed by the poor logistics and unreported changes, and above all by the feeling that the improvisation cost us money that we should not have been charged. Do not let my review discourage you but proceed cautiously, confirm everything in writing, and demand seriousness and respect for the contract.

Great experience
Ansar was great. Helpful, knowledgeable and arranged our schedule for max benefit. We had lunch at a restaurant full of locals. We were the only tourists there. Highly recommend.

İstanbul 😍
We had a half day tour with Cem and it was great. He is full of knowledge about İstanbul. He also helped us to change money and we tried some local food together. Amazing. Ask for Cem!

Emir Sagir - Excellent tour guide
Emir Sagir gave us the most amazing tour - it was interesting and comprehensive. He is a very engaging and thoughtful person with interesting perspectives. The pace was just right. I would definitely recommend him as a tour guide and would definitely use his services for future visits.

We visited so many remarkable Mosques and Palaces. We visited the underground Waterway. .
Emir Sagir of the tour group Viva Turquia Travel was an awesome tour guide, for two days. He was a lovely person, very informative, and sensitive to our needs. Having the tour with Emir Sagir contributed greatly to my wonderful trip to Istanbul. He deserves the highest praise and thanks. Judy Glantzman, Chatham, New York
