Fantástico

Koray fue muy agradable en todo momento. Respondió a todas nuestras preguntas, con gran dominio de los datos históricos. Nos enseñó el laberinto de las calles del bazar. Incluso nos hablo y mostró sobre la música turca, ya que él es músico. Lo recomendamos.

interesting guided tour

Koray is an excellent guide—very knowledgeable in the history of his city and clear in his explanations, and his Spanish was great! He takes you on a tour of the centre of Izmir and makes you undestand how it changed during the centuries. Definitely reccommended

Best tour EVER!

Koray gave us an excellent tour of Izmir's historic centre. Super knowledgeable, incredibly kind - he even made us a list of desserts to try while we are visiting Turkey. Highly recommend; he makes history fun and accessible. Thank you for the great afternoon Koray!

A Great Tour with a Knowledgeable and Friendly Guide

We had a great experience with our tour guide in Izmir. He was very knowledgeable and shared interesting and important information about the city, its history, and the local area. Everything was explained clearly, and he was always happy to clarify things whenever we had questions. What we especially appreciated was his enthusiasm and willingness to answer every question we asked. He was friendly, engaging, patient, and made the whole tour enjoyable rather than simply giving us a list of facts. You could really tell that he knows the area very well and genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge with visitors. The tour gave us a much better understanding of Izmir and made our visit more meaningful. We would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting the area, and if we come back to Izmir in the future, we would be very happy to choose him as our guide again. Highly recommended!
