Best Guide for Urfa and Gobekli Tepe!!!

Reviewed January 24, 2016

We (American and Czech living in Prague)  had wanted to visit Gobelki Tepe and Sanliurfa very much but we're a little concerned about safety because of some travel warnings. These turned out to be completely unfounded. From the moment he picked us up at the airport, Taha made our trip absolutely amazing and we never felt the slightest bit unsafe at any point on the trip. I had loads of questions and he was extremely knowledgeable on every topic we discussed. We were able to see Gobekli Tepe, Abraham's Cave, Harran, Byzantine and Roman sites, and the INCREDIBLE museums Urfa has to offer!! This city is absulutuly amazing, considered by many to be the correct location of ancient Sumerian city of Ur. Taha gave us not just an amazing tour of the historical sites, but also gave us a taste of the local experience and intelligent analysis of how all the history, religions, and civilizations that have inhabited this region are tied together. If you have ever considered visiting Gobekli Tepe or Sanliurfa but had some concerns, Taha Ozyavuz is your man. Thanks so much for this amazing experience. January 2016

Historical tour to Urfa, Harran and Gobeklitepe

Reviewed January 3, 2016

My friends and I took one day tour with Mr. Ozyavuz. Despite last minute call and the fact it was on holidays Taha agreed to be our guide and even discounted the price as there were only three of us.

Mr Ozyavuz is a great guide, we had very good tour, he was very informative, his knowledge of the region is great. 

I highly recommend Taha for any tourists coming into this area. You will not regret this experience.

I am the owner of ParisianTour, a small group and private tour company. I met Mr. Taha Ozyavuz in Sanliurfa, Turkey and he was our guide for two days exploring the bounty of cultural, archeological, as well as cuisine focused opportunities that this area has to offer. Mr. Ozyavuz is very knowledgable and has the rare ability to be sensitive to the interests of the group. He speaks very good English as well as the languages of this region. We were given the opportunity to experience local places and enjoyed watching people playing board games, drinking tea, and enjoying the outdoors in a traditional square few outsiders visit. On tours with limited time, it is important that the tour starts and finishes when scheduled. Mr.Ozyavuz was waiting for us at the airport, brought us to our hotel after a stop for lunch at a family run restaurant. He came each day early and was available upon our return for advise for our free time. As a group coordinator, I especially appreciated the cooperative collaboration we experienced. Mr. Ozyavuz discussed his itinerary with me and was willing to adjust to our requests. However, the plan was so well organized and the choices perfectly suited for our group, that we changed nothing. To be with Mr.Taha Ozyavuz, is to have a knowledgable friend. It is with appreciation that I take the opportunity to introduce others to this accomplished guide. Ms. Elin Babcock Owner ParisianTour.

Excellent Guide and Companion

Reviewed July 29, 2015

I hired Taha in a private capacity to guide me through parts of southeastern turkey I had never been. He was with me for 4 days but actually provided some valuable assistance even before that. Taha is a great asset. His english is excellent and his knowledge of the are also excellent. He is able to provide the necessary interface between myself and vendors and showed me places of interest I did not have on my list. It was a joy and a pleasure to have him with me and I would recommend his services to anyone.
