Despite the long journey, my dauther remained engaged and fascinated by Engin's storytelling, and my wife and I were equally captivated. We were also impressed by Engin's patience and attentiveness, as he made sure that our needs were met and that we were comfortable throughout the journey.

I recently went on a tour to Göbeklitepe from Istanbul with my dear grandchildren of 2 and my elder son, and I must say, it was an experience of a lifetime. Our guide, Engin, was a true gem who made our journey both educational and entertaining.
