Smiling face, always ready for help, very good explaining the Biblical Sites!

We literally had the experience of a lifetime touring parts of Turkey with Gurkan of Oktogon Travel. In fact the experience was so meaningful we chose to extend our stay by a few extra days and then return back to Turkey only a few years later for a second visit to other parts of Turkey we missed on our first visit. You will not regret your decision to book with Gurkan. He truly brings his country and culture to life and will make your time together memorable!

I’ve been working with Gürkan and Oktogon Travel for years and they are my top recommendation for anyone wanting to see Türkiye and the surrounding areas. Gürkan is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, fun, and makes it a priority to take the best care possible of his clients. Oktogon has accommodated any sized group I’ve worked with, and makes us feel at home wherever we are. 10/10 recommend anyone to book with them!

Have great respect for the work Oktogon does in a professional manner. Have been on a trip with them 2 times: Tour of Turkey: The 7 Churches and thorough guiding for 2 days in Istanbul. Both trips with Gurkan Adali as guide. It is a pleasure to listen to his teaching both from the Bible and history, - lively and interesting and with good humor! Well educated, high level of knowledge, punctual and honest, so well organized down to the smallest detail! Felt well taken care of and very safe with Oktogon! Recommended!!

Gurkhan and team do amazing work tailored to what you need. Informative and relaxed paced with the perfect price points for each type of group that chooses them. I highly recommend them!

We have used OKTOGON Travel twice, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. We were extremely impressed with the service from start to finish, but what truly made our trips special was Gurkan. […] If you are looking for someone who is reliable, honest, knowledgeable, caring, family-friendly, and truly dedicated to making your trip special, we highly recommend OKTOGON Travel and especially Gurkan.

Gürkan is such an engaging and knowledgeable guide who showed my friends and I hidden gems of Istanbul that we went back to visit some of the places again after our tour! His thoughtful planning and deep understanding of historical influences really showed us so much more of the city than we expected. Plus he is a ton of fun!

Fantastically organized tour with a warm, pleasant and knowledgeable guide.

Oktogon Travel does a professional job, skilled employees. The tour of Istanbul with guided tours of the biggest sights would not have been the same without the good guidance we received!
