We started with such an excellent tour guide, we didn’t think it could get better. Every guide in each location was superb. They were interesting, informative and fun to be with. They were thoroughly qualified on historic significance, as well as restaurants and shopping. They were punctual, but flexible. The tours were entirely customized to our groups personal desires. The entire trip was seamless and momentous. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars.

Relating to historical movie series dating back to 1200 through 1500. My visit to Sogut and Riva was the highlight of my trip.

We hired Sojourn for a nine day tour of Turkiye, including Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, and Hieropolis/Pamukkale. Elif D. kept us well-informed in the months and days leading up to the trip, and the Vamoos app kept us up-to-date with our itinerary. All nine tour days went without a hitch. The drivers/guides were always on time. Our guides were excellent; Reyhan in Istanbul and Rabia in Ephesus area were especially good. Accommodations were top-notch. Sojourn is a well-run, professional company. When we visit Turkiye in the future to check out the myriad of other archaeological sites across the country, we will be using Sojourn.
