Clear recommendation to spend the day with Faruk - Communication 📲was super easy from the beginning, picked up on time at the hotel 🏨, space enough for luggage, super nice, mega relaxed tour to Cesme, short to the beach 🏖️and to Alacati. Absolutely worth it. Faruk is very relaxed and flexible. As a passenger I felt very safe with him as well. 😎!!️ Although not cheap, but I didn't want to take care of anything myself as I was only in the region for a few days

Visits to some scenic and historic spots - Interesting stops with a friendly guide. I would have liked a bit more commentary, but that’s just me and the trip does specify that it wasn’t a historical tour.

A day trip to Cesme and... - A day trip to Cesme and Alacati is absolutely worth it. Cesme provided a relax seaside vibe and impressive Cesme Castle which gives both history and great views. On the other hand, Alacati is full of charm with its cobblestone streets, colourful stone houses, boutique shop and lively cafe which you can visit after a swim at the nearby beach. Shoutout to our guide, Faruk, for driving me around, guiding and explaining to his best ability. Together, the trip was a memorable experience.

Relaxing scenic day trip from Izmir - Such a beautiful part of Turkey not to be missed if visiting Izmir - Faruk was easygoing and friendly, and made the tour feel like very relaxing sightseeing - flexible to enjoy at your own pace/interests, not like a big group tour. He also had great food recommendations (very important!). Would highly recommend ☺️

Chill day at Cesme and Alacati - We had such a lovely day with Faruk! He made our experience so lovely. We loved exploring Cesme and Alacati with him. The towns themselves were absolutely lovely and we could even swim in the Aegean Sea for an hour. It was not at all rushed, super leisurely and we felt throughly relaxed and at peace by the end of it. Faruk also clicked lovely photos of us around the area which was such a nice memory to take back with us! Would highly recommend this trip :)))

Private Tour Experience – July 29 - I did a tour today (July 29) that was originally meant for four people, but I ended up being the only one—so it turned into a private tour, which was a great surprise! I didn’t have to rush, and the whole experience felt relaxed and personalized. My guide, Faruk, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. He shared insights about the places we visited, and his friendly personality made the trip even more enjoyable. The highlight for me was the beach—I got to swim and cool off from the heat, which was perfect. The last stop of the tour was a really nice area with a mix of shops and restaurants. It’s the kind of place where you’d want to take your time—maybe grab a bite to eat or do a little shopping. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to add around 30 more minutes to the tour so visitors can actually enjoy that part, rather than just walk through it quickly. Overall, I had a great time and would highly recommend this tour. If you’re considering it, go for it. You might just get lucky like I did and have it all to yourself!

A relaxing and memorable trip! - Highly recommend this tour for people who want to see Alacati & Çeşme in a relaxed way! This tour is by no means a historical and information packed tour, so if you’re coming in with that mindset then you will be disappointed (as this is not the intent of this tour). However, if you’re someone who just wants to relax and see more of what Izmir has to offer, while having an experienced local, guide, converse and take high quality pictures of you during your journey, then this is the perfect tour for you (Faruk is a photographer with a professional camera). Thanks to Faruk for showing me what Izmir has to offer and for making my stay in Izmir a memorable one!
