Gobeklitepe & Sanliurfa Tour from Istanbul 2 days

I booked this tour last minute and they took care of all the details and it was like having a white glove service door to door. The guide, Omur was phenomenal, he embodies the job he is doing, giving you the best of Gobeklitepe and surrounding areas. It was a great experience for me and grateful to the team that pulled it together for me.

This tour far exceeded my expectations! Our tour guide, Ibrahim, had an intimate knowledge of the Sanliurfa, and his deep expertise in the sites of Gobeklitepe and Harran really made the experience interesting and meaningful. He was well-versed on the current excavations at the sites and had a deep interest in helping us understand their archaeological features as well as the aspects of the sites that have yet to be explained by scientific inquiry. Ibrahim guided us through the museum to further explain the artifacts that had been excavated from the sites. I learned so much from his explanations. Ibrahim took pride in showing us the town he grew up in and was a true pleasure to have as our local guide. Highly recommended!

I was recommended Ibrahim and it was the perfect match. Ibrahim’s level of knowledge , his attention to our interests and questions made our days together magical. He was always punctual and flexible with our special interests and at the end of the day very good value.

Ibrahim was amazing. His knowledge of the ancient places we went to was wonderful and taught me so many things. He was kind and accepted us on this tour last minute to join with a group of other people. He created a very inclusive and fun atmosphere including taking selfies with the group. His price per person was very reasonable compared to other tours that were available. We toured multiple places over 2 days including Gobekletepe, karhantepe, Harran, Bazda Caves, Fish Lake, beehive houses, Sanliurfa Archeology Museum and Mosaic Museum, and more! The places he took us for lunch both days were delicious and clean. I would absolutely book with Ibrahim again!!!!

Göbeklitepe has always been a bucket list item for my partner and I. This year we decided to do it! I wanted a guide to provide more insight and guidance exploring on this trip. I was lucky enough to come across an archaeology PhD student (among other degrees such as economics). Ibrahim Toprak (i.h.toprak63@gmail.com) was amazing from start to finish. We were able to join a 2-day small group tour at a very reasonable price. Ibrahim grew up in Şanlıurfa so he knows everywhere to go, eat, and make your trip most memorable! He has considerable knowledge of the 12,000 year-old pre-pottery Neolithic period, as well as many others, and how to tie them together across time. His English skills are great, and so is his personality! He also loves taking your picture and jumping in for some selfies! You will not regret contacting him for a tour.

We have had a wonderfull and fun time with Ibrahim. Ibrahim made the two days we spent together special, and memorable. We had great fun, we asked many questions which were properly answered with an explanation. Ibrahim is a great guy, and we will definately be back next year, learning and experiencing more from Ibrahim and the fantastic history of the area.

The whole tour experience was great snd very interesting! Our tour guide, Ibrahim, is an excellent guide!
