“We used Paphlagonia tours and our tour guide Cagatay was brilliant. The tour was punctual, accommodating and gave us just the right amount of information to keep us interested. He was friendly and kind enough to take photos for us - he was flexible to suit our mood - if we were tired he could reduce the walking. The food on the tour was great and so was the pottery and carpet tour. Love Cagatay - he was awesome.”
