Traveller reviews
One of the best tours. And one of the best guides. We enjoyed the day and I don't think we will forget the views and the atmosphere. Thanks Shamel.
I always come to turkey and book group tours. This is my first tour with Zenofon and it was the best tour for me in this country . Ayder is spectacular place that will definitely charm your eyes with it’s nature, add to that, the quite helpful guide Shamil who was very flexible and let us need nothing. Highly recommended
Turned out to be a unprofessional tour company! provided a guide who was just a rude kid!!. it was towards end of the tour where we wanted to stop at a coffee shop for 45 min. the guide was like you don't have time if you delay we will exit without you!! had to call the manager/boss and straighten it out! Also I noticed there was no requirement of a guide as its just nature to observe. Moreover the guide did not know much about the area and just walked around with us. Do not take the lunch offer, they took us to a restaurant in a hotel which had extremely delayed service! and not good food. The guide was like we will change as they are slow!! they have agreement with them and had limited options from the menu! They go totally by the clock as per their convenience and not what the guest are looking for! The driver was courteous although didn't speak English. I did use a tour company called Hafsatur to go to Uzongol and they were great! Everything was handled in a professional way and had given good rates as well.
Such an amazing and exciting tour. Highlight of the tour was the river rafting. Such a wild enjoyable experience!! Weather was excellent with drizzling rain and foggy mountains. Our tour guide Shamil was also very nice. He's young and good looking and it's like we'd been friends for a long time. Zilkale watchtower was also beautiful. I will recommend this tour to my friends.
Very rich trip with amazing sites and breath taking views. The agency is professional and the driver was very decent and kind. Ask for Mr.Atta the driver.
It was picturesque sight seeing for both tour with magnificent memories and superb services from Atakan/other tourist guide-Both assisted our old age parents and also were well planned for their given itinerary-Time management was marvellous and they provided enough time to experience great places in one go-lovely memorable experience indeed!
Beautiful views, food and our Taner guide and Emre driver behaved wonderfully with us
