We had a fantastic day and would definitely recommend Darma Travel with Erme. - We took the Green Tour through Darma Travel and had a fabulous day. Our tour guide Erme was brilliant, very knowledgeable about the local area and his English was very clear. Through the day he guided us through each of the sites with enough information to keep us interested but not too much to make us want to get on with the day... each stop had beautiful photo opportunities over the landscape or historic sites. Lunch by the river was delicious and well set out. We also visited an onyx store and a spice store. It was nice that the staff were not pushy, just informed us of their products and let us browse without pressure. I loved the tasters at the spice store of the nuts, turkish delight and others and ended up buying a few of my favourite items. Pricing was reasonable and actually cheaper than some of the tourist stores. Overall we had a fantastic day and would definitely recommend Darma Travel and especially Erme for the Green Tour.

Amazing, thank you - Yesterday we made a tour in the area around Gürün and Dardene, Province Malatya. We walked into some canyons(Şugul, Günpinar)and around a  beautiful lake in Gökpınar.  We visited a lovely,small museum and an impressive religious place, called Somuncu Baba. In the name of my family I want to thank the very friendly Tour-Guides. They did a great job. Thank you very much. We are looking forward to the next trip.
