Our guide, Ipek, was knowledgeable and flexible. She was open to giving us an off-the-beaten-path sort of tour. It was magical and she was amazing.

My daughter is an archaeologist and I am an art historian. We told Ipek that we wanted a more historical and local tour and she did exactly what we needed. She was knowledgeable and was also ready to alter our tour if we wanted to see something unexpected. She was friendly, helpful, was willing to answer cultural and religious questions openly and kindly. I said that I wanted to possibly purchase a rug and she took me to a place that was knowledgeable and trustworthy. I cannot express how perfect our tour was. She is a gem!

This tour was both educational and fun. My daughter and I got so wrapped up in the bazaar and market experience we rlforgot reality. Emir is a talented story-weaver. It becomes so lifelike, and the culture so mezmeeing, the stories spring to life and we forgot it was 2025. .. Truly a masree
