Our guide was fabulous, He was organized, able to over come any obstacles. He was able to pivot by trying to arrange tours at least busy times. He was knowledgeable and able to explain history and culture. I really enjoyed my trip.

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 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
