Great experience. Taner is a lovely guide. Told us about the history of Trabzon, Sumela Monastery and Zigena mountain. He left plenty of free time for us to explore. Highly recommended.

Must Do Tour in Trabzon!
I had a fantastic day tour today visiting many different sites near Trabzon. We started our day with a drive down to Sümela Monastery where we learned all about the history of the area. We then visited Karaca Cave, drove down Zigana Pass, and made our way to Torul SkyWalk Terrace before stopping for an amazing local lunch. We finished our day at Hamsiköy Village for some delightful rice pudding. Shamil was an absolutely incredible guide. He is personable, informative, and passionate about his work. I cannot recommend this tour anymore! One thing to note is that you should be sure to bring cash as some of the entrance tickets can only be purchased with Turkish lira.

Unforgettable 5-days Eastern Black Sea tour experience in Trabzon.
Unforgettable experience in Trabzon.
I remember the welcome at the airport by Irem and the driver, Mr Hussain until the check-in at the Funda Hotel, Trabzon. The hotel itself is spectacular facing the Black Sea and walking distance to Meydan. The next day, my tour started with the sightseeing in the Trabzon city. The following days, I, accompanied by experienced tour guide, Shamil and Mr Hussain visited further to Uzungol, Rize, Ayder and Sumela Monastery in Macka. Throughout the multi-days tour, I'd visited many beautiful sightseeing areas with some chay/coffee breaks. I appreciate that Zenofon proceeded the booking eventhough it was only myself in the tour (due to low season). Only 1 day I was joined by other tourists. Both Shamil and Mr Hussain were very professional, punctual and really helpful in accommodating to my request. Thank you so much! Highly recommended Zenofon Tour!
