Great tour with Erman!
Erman was very knowledgeable about the history and shared lots of stories with us. Our group was half Spanish-speaking half English-speaking and he flawlessly covered the tour in both languages. He was very informative about the scchedule, too. Great tour!
Operator response
Thank you for this kind review. Guiding a group in two languages is never an easy task, so we're especially pleased to hear that our guide moved so smoothly between Spanish and English while sharing the history and keeping everyone well informed about the schedule. It would be a pleasure to welcome you again on a future journey with Gezenthi Travel Agency.

Perfect Pergamum Tour
I really enjoyed it. It was a group tour but I was the only one signed up for this day and they still went ahead with the tour. I had my own driver and guide on a 15 passenger van! I was able to converse with the guide about random questions I had about Turkey. Pergamum is beautiful and way less crowded than other ancient cities. The included lunch was a fabulous home cooked meal at a hidden away complex in the country side. Of course there is a carpet presentation. I went on quite a few 1 and 2 day tours in Turkey and I felt this carpet thing was the most educational and personable out of all I listened to.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your kind feedback.
