Özkan exceeded all reviews that I had read about the tour. He is a true gentleman and highly perceptive to the groups needs. We travelled to Sumela Monastery and his depth of knowledge is outstanding. Özkan then showed us his Trabzon and again his knowledge shone through. Lunch was at a traditional Turkish restaurant and what a delightful spread. We had heard about Trabzon meatballs, wow, they are truly a delight. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Özkan and would recommend him in a heart beat. Second to none.
Özkan, Regards to your family for allowing us to have you undivided attention for so long.
Many Thanks Özkan

Ozkan was such an amazing guide. We had a fantastic time exploring trabzon with him for the day. He showed and explained so much about the city in that day that I doubt we would learn after a month of being in there. He made the town come alive with history and culture, and made sure to stop by and explain a few additional bonuses along the way. He was very kind and took our preferences in consideration as well. Honestly such a gem of a tour guide if you have the pleasure of spending the day with him like we did.

The location, the view from the monastery was fantastic. Not for elderly, alot of steps.
-1 star coz toilet was not heated and not elderly friendly.
-1 star for our guide, too rush and was not paying enough attention to his guest and too serious.
Good enough but there is room for improvement.

Unbelievable day at the Sumela Monastery in the snow!! It was an amazing day tour. Özkan was an amazingTour guide and spoke incredible English, like a native speaker. He brought the history alive at all the locations. He was really encouraging on the hike in the snow at Sumela Monastery. I really enjoyed getting to know him and loves seeing Sumela monastery, Ataturk’s Pavilion and Hagia Sofia. We also shared a great and delicious lunch together. I had a great tour and just feel like I made a friend. I would recommend this tour to anybody, especially those who speak English and I'm thankful for the trip.

Trabzon is truly a must-see destination, and our tour guide, Ozkan, made it even more unforgettable! Ozkan’s knowledge and passion about the place were exceptional.
The highlight for us was visiting Sumela Monastery – absolutely breathtaking! But what made the tour even more special was how Ozkan went above and beyond. Thanks to his thoughtful suggestion, we had the chance to visit a local market and explore Bedesten, which wasn’t part of the itinerary but still was an unforgettable experience.
We also got to try their anchovies and ended the evening enjoying tea and Turkish coffee with some locals, truly immersing ourselves in the culture.
A huge thank you to Ozkan for providing us with such an authentic and memorable experience in Trabzon. Wishing you all the best – we’ll certainly be recommending this tour to others!

We had a lovely time on our tour with Ozkan. He gave us a great overview about Trabzon's history and importance both today and throughout Turkey's history. The Monastery and mountain area is beautiful! We came in October so it wasn't very busy, which was lovely. The lunch was really delicious and he gave us great tips for how to get into the city center using the minibus system for our other days here. The Hagia Sophia of Trabzon was much more interesting to visit with a guide that recognized meanings of different carvings and why they are there. The views from the overlook area where we had tea at the end of the day was gorgeous and peaceful. Overall, we recommend this tour!

Well worth doing and a very informative tour Yuksel was a great tour guide and I would highly recommend booking this tour in the area.

We had a full day private tour with Professor Ismail. He was extremely knowledgeable on the Sumela Monastery and has also written a book on the Monastery. Ismail was friendly and on time. Very responsive to messages. I would highly recommend Professor Ismail for any tour. His experience and expertise were appreciated by my wife and me. Viator really knows how to make a vacation enjoyable. This is the third time using them.

I really enjoyed my trip enjoying learning everything about Trabzon with Dr. Ismael. HES very knowledgeable i was flabbergasted! The impecable amazing details of dates, history & city’s details were so good. We’ve seen Sumela monetary, old city, aya Sofia mosque, castle, boztepe, Ataturk’s pa ilion but only outside since it was under construction, city bazaar, lunch and walk around then seeing the sultan’s house (been inside and saw it all which wasn’t part of the tour). Dr. Ismael is recommended. I just wished that lunch was included in the trip since it’s a private tour.

We’re so glad that we got Dr. Ismail Kose as our tour guide. He’s so knowledgeable and knows every detail regarding the tour. Very informative and impressive. Sumela Monastery is awesome. Also, we got a nice scenic view of the black sea during our lunch at Akcaabat.
