    We got on the bus from the City Center, Mavlana Square and reached the excavation area in 50 minutes. The Welcoming Center was perfect. A professional guide accompanied our bus group in the center. Then we visited the excavation area. It was great to see the first ancient Town of the world. After the visit we came back to the City Center with same bus. It took 3,5 hours at all. All the service was good.

    Reading another review, I think the ‘tour’ is misunderstood. It is not a tour per se, but rather transportation to and from the site, a function it fulfills admirably.

    This is an affordable shuttle to the site. The visitor center was recently inaugurated and provides information about the site and archaeologists' work to excavate the site. The time you are given is enough to visit the actual site and explore the interactive museum, explained by the experts who worked and continue to excavate at the site. This is a treat. It is not the travel agency's responsibility that the museum staff only provide a brief tour in Turkish without considering international visitors. Having a shuttle to archaeological sites is the most excellent idea.

    Catch the 1pm shuttle from Konya for an amazing trip back 9500 years. You will have a little over 2 hours to visit the archeological site and the best interactive museum that I can imagine . The staff is extremely helpful and the site was a must see for me.

    The only thing the "tour" did was point to the shuttle bus in Konya. Nothing else. The tour promotion says English guide. They mean, " the signs are in English". The only thing they do is collect a few from you via this site. It was only 15$, but you only need to Google Catalhoyok shuttle bus.. don't waste your money with this tour.
