Out of all the families trips I have had to plan, this one was the BEST by a long shot. It was so easy to coordinate with Ugur about which sights I wanted to see, foods I wanted to eat, and activities I wanted to have based on my own research while integrating his spot on advice and suggestions. There were things that my extensive online research missed that Ugur reccommended (such as visting the beautiful city of Edirne) and, honestly, those detours and unexpected recommendations were the highlights of our trip!!! My mother has a serious and rare food allergy and Ugur would personally make sure every cook understood the gravity of the situation and ensure that all the food was safe for my mom. He even understood when she got tired and always had specific things (like fun cafes or having the van nearby) in mind for her in case she was unable to walk further. Aside from that, he is such a friendly personality who will chat when you wish while also respecting your privacy. He was also very helpful and insightful with any concern or question we had, whether it was regarding Turkey or religion or life in general or where the bathroom was! Ugur was recommended to us from a family friend, and we do not regret the decision at all! 

I went on the 7-day Lycian trek with a small group of about 5 people and Ugur was the guide. He was incredibly friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. He not only provided a great context of Turkish history and culture, but was a fun, engaging, and positive leader who anticipated and addressed any of our group's needs or preferences along the way. I felt completely comfortable reaching out to him with any questions or concerns, and would most definitely do another tour with Ugur! 

Ugur was a great guide during our visit to Istambul. He is professional and punctual.
