Hiring a guide to help me get around the places I wanted to photograph in northeastern Turkey was the smartest decision I could have made, and Ozkan was the best possible choice. As a resident of the area I was touring, he has an intimate knowledge of all the places we visited, and that was invaluable given the extremely short time frame I had. He also provided tremendous help in equipment setup in highly inclement weather. Ozkan set my mind at ease, was a great travel partner and more than justified my decision to hire a guide. I already dream of returning to this area someday for a longer stay, and I look forward to calling on Ozkan again. Having a true local as a guide in this part of Turkey is essential. Ozkan knows the area in depth and is a consummate pro as a guide. I am happy to recommend him.
