We had a fantastic tour of Gobekli Tepe and the sights across Sanliurfa. Everything was so well organised and communication with the tour operator was superb. Our guide Ibrahim was really knowledgeable and passionate about the history. We couldn’t have asked for better. A lot to see in a day from Istanbul but so worth it.
