I was super excited to go visit Gobekli Tepe, it has always been a dream ofmineto visit this significant site ever since I found out about it.

I must say, travelling to Turkey in Covid19 season was making me little anxious- willthere be tours/sites/ museums openetc.but it was all open, of coursewith protective measures soI wasso happy.

The way the world has become now it is a true haven to even enjoy a nice meal in restaurantunder the roof. Fair play to Turkey to keep businesses going!

Before my trip, Iwas also concerned about my safety going to Urfa as a solo traveller so I knew - best way to do sois to have aguide! And I was very lucky to get Taha he was really accommodating and knowledgeable.

I stayed in Urfa two days and I wish I had stayed longer, the city is so beautiful, rich with history and there is so much more to explore. I will come back, whenever it is possible for me, I want to take more tours.

I am still so excited and impressed by this amazing part of the world and work of Taha, no doubt he is the best guide you will find in Urfa.

I was originally intending a day trip from Istanbul to see Göbekli Tepe, but Taha wisely encouraged me to spend the night in Urfa and see some of the other fascinating sites that the area has to offer.  We ended up visiting, among others, Mt Nemrut, the archaeological museum in Urfa (an excellent introduction to Gobekli Tepe and its historical context) and Taha's home town of Harran with its famous beehive houses.

I cannot adequately explain how helpful, understanding and informative Taha is: a truly outstanding guide! I am very keen to return and enjoy more time in his company.

Note: Do not feel anxious about visiting this region because it is close to Syria. I felt perfectly safe at all times and would happily recommend friends and family to visit the area with Taha as their guide.

We spent a total of 2 days in Urfa. Taha was kind enough to pick us up from the airport and start our day promptly with the limited time we had. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and easy to speak with. I am planning to return and spend more time in this region in the future and without hesitation will be contacting Taha once again. Thanks for such a wonderful experience!
