Our new profound information about Turkey’s history and beautiful architecture wouldn’t have been possible without Elfi’s help. From the moment we met her she was nothing but welcoming and kind to both my children ages eleven and fifteen, and to my parents who are both in their sixties. She was also extremely accommodating letting us take breaks and taking our pictures when needed. Turkey is well known for the Ottoman Empire and is rich in history. My family and I got to learn way more about the oriental culture with the help of Elfi’s knowledge. She is extremely intelligent, funny, relatable, and she is all for going at the tourists pace. From helping us shop for jewelry and souvenirs in the grand bazaar, to taking us to lunch at an exquisite (and cheap) kebap restaurant. She carried interesting and meaningful conversation with all my family members, especially with my fifteen year old. And considering it was only her first year, it felt as if she was an expert at the job. My family and I enjoyed Turkey so much and would definitely go again. Elfi is certainly a five stars in my book and I would recommend her over any tour guide.
Parents review:
My parents have never been to Turkey before, so for their first time they had a marvelous time. They would also recommend it to anyone who could take the time to fly out to Turkey. But before they recommended it to anyone, they’re going to go back first!!
