Taha Ozyavuz is a great guide.  We have hired guides all over the world and can tell you that Taja is one of the best.  His English is very good and he does not have a strong accent.  This is important to us because my husband is hard of hearing and cannot understand most people who we hire.  This was not the case with Taha.  He took us to his village and it was wonderful.  We hired him for 2.5 days and went to Gobeklitepe, Mardin, Haram,  and Urfa.  Weather was horrible there, so he had to change our plans.  I don't know what we would have seen but where he took us was just great.  He also knows the best local, cheap places to eat. 

My wife and me have been traveled to several sites with prehistoric temples: UK, Malta, ...you name it. Well, Göbekli Tepe is the oldest known one. But sowhat? The unique and mystic characteristic of it is though, that noone of the prehistoric temples we have seen before has any reliefs onit. The pillars of Göbekli Tepe are full of such reliefs! We willprobably never know their exact meaning but they are just incredibleand incredible meaningful letting us reflect on their message. Wewere lucky to have our tour organized by Taha Ozyavuz who showed usGöbekli Tepe and many other sites in Şanlıurfa and its vicinity.Taha is not just a guide who knows very much about history, art andarcheology. He is also a perfect and very accommodating host who cannot just adjust his guiding perfectly to your personal needs but alsomake you feel very welcome, make you feel home. Many thanks!

My friend and I had a wonderful time having Taha as our guide/driver for a 4 days trip in Southeast Turkey. We visited Gaziantep, Adiyaman (Nemrut Dagi for sun set and sun rise). Saniurfa, Harran, Gabekli Tepe, Mardin, Midyat and Hasankeyf.

Taha's service is exceeded our expectation, he helped with planning, booking and tirelessly answering our qoestions about going to Turkey. His insight knowledge and long time experience guiding in Southeast Turkey had helped us to save time and money and make it possible to see all sights we wanted to see in 4 days.

During the trip, we witnessed his expertise in the region, he drove to all places without GPS, he remembered all the directions, we were impressed. He remembered all the histories, fact and figures and he has all the local knowledge so we get to experience the cities and sights even more deeper.

He is puctual, calm, flexible, client-oriented and a plus point from us is he does not smoke (it is quite rare to find non-smoker guide!) We could not ask for more!

We highly recommended Taha if you plan to travel to Southeastern Turkey. He also had extensive experience guiding in Istanbul and Cappadocia.
