A great Turkey land tour. - The tour was well planned. We did a land tour in Turkey and our tour guide was excellent. Husnu Celebe our tour guide was outstanding, his knowledge was great; his patience and experience very good. He is very passionate about the landmarks he showed to the Tripoppo tour group. I will rank Husnu Celebe as one of my top tour guides. Thank you Husnu Celebe for every minute you spent with us Cesar and Norma

Chelabi is the best tour guide - Chelabi was the gold standard of tour guides. He was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, organized and always empathetic to the group ensuring our experience was exceptional. He told us exactly what the schedule was to be and delivered on his promise every day. His explanations of the places we visited were clear and he gave additional commentary on other areas of life in Turkey. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. George and Lorena

Turkey - a magical land of beauty & history, made alive by an amazing guide! - This review is not only for the Ephesus visit but for visits to several other ancient and current highlights of Turkey. It was like a magical tour, a journey through the sites and history of this amazing land! Our guide was Mr. Husnu Celebi. We were so fortunate to have him because not only was he well-organized, personable & attentive to details, he dealt with unexpected situations calmly until they were resolved. A bonus was that he was a great historian on the history of Turkey - bringing to life much of what we saw! My husband & I have enjoyed this trip very much - thanks to Celebi and the company of the group and a good itinerary. We now know Turkey much better - a beautiful land of rich history! Thanks for hosting us!!

Turkish Delights - Husnu an excellent guide, great English and easy to understand. Only suggestion for future would be to have travellers introduce themselves, we didn’t know all the names until the last few days! Thank you for a great experience
