Traveller reviews
An absolutely outstanding site to visit. Logistics were easy. Erman is a top level guide - very personable, extremely knowledgeable with excellent English. Very highly recommended!
Veri nice experience. Guide and driver kind and friendly. Guide with great knowledge.
We had a wonderful experience with this tour, led by our guide Erman. He is so deeply knowledgeable, passionate, and with such an engaging storytelling style that listening to him is a real pleasure. He gave us a deep understanding of the sites we visited, always placing them within their broader historical context and drawing connections to the modern world. The tour was extremely well organized, from pickup to drop off, and the time spent in each location was perfect. Special thanks also to our kind and skilled driver. We have learnt a lot and had a great time.
Highly recommend this tour, Erman was friendly, knowledgable and was happy to wait for us all to take the perfect photo. The Asclepieion and Pergamon are a must see if you’re in the area
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.
I can't say enough positive things about this tour; we had an amazing time! Our guide, Api, was incredibly thorough, but, more than that, his enthusiasm, love of history, and pride in his heritage made him the #1 host out of every tour we took in our weeks through Greece and Istanbul! We took a number of guided tours in Athens, Izmir, and Istanbul, but Api was, by far, the most informative, kind, and helpful guide we encountered. He absolutely made the tour! We chose the Pide option for lunch, and enjoyed it; the transportation van was very comfortable.
Erman Uslu is an excellent guide. The tour in Troy and Pergamon was excellent. He has a deep knowledge of ancient history and archaeology. He answered all questions, explained everything in the Troy museum, about the complicated archaeology of Troy with 9 layers of cities and about Pergamon. He provided all assistance, including when I reported back problems and difficulty standing for long periods. A complete guide. The driver was perfect, drove safely and I felt completely safe. Congratulations!
We had a wonderful time with Elcin. She gave us so many insights into the history of Pergamon and the various places we saw. We really learned a lot and had a great time. She set a great pace for us and answered all our questions. We particularly loved the Asklepion. Although we have visited many sites, we never saw anything like this. The included lunch, at a carpet cooperative was really tasty and the people there were so nice (no pressure to purchase at all). This was a great experience!
