My trip to Adana

Reviewed March 27, 2024

I traveled to Adana in March 2024 with my wife. Zafer greeted us at the airport and was ready to roll. Zafer was very knowledgeable of the history and locations that I wished to visit. Zafer took us to various locations and explained a lot of information while doing so. I will be keeping in contact with Zafer for any future visits.

Working with Zafer on assignment for The Athletic

Reviewed March 25, 2024

Zafer acted as my guide and translator for a journalistic assignment that I was given to cover the aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey in February 2023. He was the consumate professional in providing me with vital information about the areas we visited, plotting our route and also acted as a translator for interviews that we carried out with those affected by the tragedy. This was done while he was also coming to terms with what had occured, which showed great professionalism. After the final documentary that I worked on was released it was nominated for two prestigious awards - the British Sports Journalism and International Press Association - for audio documentary of the year. This wouldn't have been possible without the care and attention that Zafer showed. Thank you Zafer, you are a true gentleman.

With Zafer from Est to West

Reviewed May 18, 2023

Zafer is a gentleman, he has never failed my trust. He is an excellent guide, an expert on Turkish history, not easy given the many peoples who have occupied Anatolia since ancient times. In every historical or archaeological site, in every museum we visited from East (North Mesopotamia) to West (Lycie roman region) the information received was detailed and contextualized temporally and historically. Dinners at (required) local restaurants have all been good and safe. Always on time for appointments and prudent in driving his car. Excellent fluent English.

Trip To Mersin/Adana

Reviewed December 21, 2020

I visited Mersin for an urgent business trip, I had difficulties finding places and talking with locals as almost no one speaks English, thanks to Zafer although he really helped us in driving around the city, finding and organising all the destination, plus he constantly came to our business meetings and did full translation Turkish/English which really helped us without him we wouldn't have had a good result. I definitely recommend him as a Tourguide, driver, and translator.

Magical Trip to Mardin/Midyat

Reviewed January 5, 2020

Our family of five recently spent 3 days in Mardin and Midyat. Zafer was our guide throughout the trip and was amazing. He organized our private tour, recommended great restaurants for lunches and dinners, and was extremely knowlegdable about the area. It would not have been the same without him. We had so much fun and learned a lot. Perfect trip.
