Honestly the best tour we've had in a long time! My family of four did the Izmir walking tour with Arya and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Her English is absolutely perfect, so communicating and understanding everything was incredibly easy for all of us. What made the experience really unique was how she explained the history. Instead of just lecturing us with dates, she brought along pictures and historical images to help us visualize exactly how the ancient sites used to look. It made a huge difference and kept everyone in the family super engaged. She took us to some really cool, interesting spots we probably would have missed on our own, and we even got to stop and try some amazing local food and products along the way. Arya is incredibly sweet, extremely knowledgeable, and just a joy to hang out with. If you are visiting Izmir, you definitely need to book a tour with her.

The tour was excellent! It was very pleasant and entertaining from start to finish. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, the locations were beautiful, and the whole experience was well-organized and relaxing. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to anyone. A great way to explore and learn while having a good time!

Really enjoyed the chance to tour the area and grateful that she still took us even though there was only 2 of us. Enjoyed our sweet stop at the end! Friendly and helpful guide! Thank you

Gamza was a kind and friendly person. She was easy to talk to and took us around and told us some history. Our tour was one hour and we saw many streets but it would’ve been nicer to stop and try more local treats. She gave us many suggestions of places to try that we really appreciated and answered all of our questions.

It was a nice walk and talk with Arya. She told us about life in Izmir and Turkey in general. She made me change my opinion about the city (in a good way).
