Our one day in Turkey was perfect thanks to Koray from Takk Travel and Viator. Thank you! - With only one day to make the most of our cruise stop in Kusadasi, Turkey we are grateful to have found Takk Travel thru Viator, and to have Koray as our guide. Koray was fun and helped us understand the history and significance of Ephesus, Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House), The Basilica of Saint John, and my favorite The Temple of Artemis. He shared details that we would have missed had we been on our own, and was able to address so many questions. Our lunch was a backyard retreat at a carpet farm which was exceptionally delightful & delicious. And we had a private modeling of the finest leather jackets that was an eye popping, eye candy experience. Koray made sure we had the most enjoyable adventure together, and we'd not hesitate to utilize his service and company again in the future for extended trips overseas.

The wonderful place in the world. - Good place to visit. Give more knowledge about history. It can not believe that people in the past make a big thing for the world. Everybody should visit the place.

Group of business friends made a trip for a week from Istanbul to cappadocia and circled back via the west side back to the city - Owner himself led the tour of our first time one week trip. He was informative and well-prepared. Attentive. And able to show us many interesting places. What we liked the most was his knowledge and local knowledge. Highly recommended for international travelers.

Over our Expectations - While booking, we had concerns. But, in the first few minutes, we met with our guide Mr. Koray, and we felt that we did the correct choice. We had excellent discussions about Turkey, the past, and today. Tour was as advertised by TAKK Travel. We really enjoyed the real local lunch a lot. It was a complete day tour with its historical visits, transportation, guide, artisan’s ateliers, and meals. Thanks to Takk Travel, highly recommended.
