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.

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. 

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.
