Full-Day Small-Group Tour of Pergamon from Izmir

what a perfect day! Erman was super informative about the entire history around Pergamom and the rest of the country. he left plenty of time for photos and explanations during the tour. what set this tour above any other than i’ve taken in Türkiye is that we did not stop at unexpected “shopping” places. it was exactly as described which is incredible to have just sight seeing and no unexpected shops along the way. plenty of stops too for water and washroom breaks. if i could give it 6 stars i would!

Our Pergamon tour with Alperen was fantastic! Alpe was very knowledgeable and provided us with an immersive experience walking through the sites. The views from Pergamon were amazing as was the history. Thank you Alpe!

Must do in Izmir region. You get to see Asklepion as well! Many thanks to Alperen! Shout out to Aykut for the amazing driving. Two of the best!

Our tourguide was Erman Uslu. He sent us a reminder the previous day, and he was very punctual on arrival.

We got to know a wonderful young man and a very professional guide in one peron.

He was nice, polite and patient, but he was also very flexible, discussing the programs with us.

But we want to emphasise his professionalism. He told us funny and sad mythological stories, which we enjoyed greatly, and at the same time he had an amazingly wide view on ancient history.

We are glad and lucky that we could have him.

We had a wonderful day with our excellent tourguide Ezgi and friendly driver in Pergamon. We were picked up at the cruiseport of Izmir at the agreed time in a very spacious clean car. Since there were only two of us, the trip to Pergamon was very comfortable and we felt very well looked after. In Pergamon we first drove to the Asklepion and then up to the Akropolis. Both archäological sites were very interesting and Ezgi explained everything to us in great detail. Ezgi is a very friendly, knowledgeable tourguide and speaks very good English. Since we still had enough time, we also visited the Red house in Pergamon, which was also worthwhile. After a tasty lunch in a nice restaurant we returned to the port earlier than expected and still had time for a pleasant walk around Izmir. We really enjoyed our tour to Pregamon and will recommend Gezenthi Travel.

We wet for a visit to Pergamon. On the way there He gave us a very concise and clear review of the relevant historical background. He was very helpful during the visit. He could answer all the questions. He was borne to do the this job.

Tour was great, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was well organised. We had enough time everywhere.

My visit to Pergamon, Turkey, was an enriching experience, made even better by our guide Erman. He expertly explained the history and the ups and downs of this ancient city, offering insights that really brought the place to life. Erman’s fluency in both English and Spanish made communication smooth and enjoyable.

This tour isn’t very popular, so it’s likely you’ll be in a small group— in my case, it was just me, Erman, and a driver, which made the experience feel privileged. The higher price for this private tour is justified by the quality of the experience.

If you’re into ancient history, or if you’ve visited the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, you’ll find this place fascinating. While it may not be as ‘Instagram-able’ as other ancient sites, it’s rich in history, and having a guide like Erman helps you truly appreciate the significance of what you’re seeing. Highly recommended!

The tour was really amazing! It ended up being just my husband and I, and we had wonderful time with Ezgi. She was fun and told us numerous fascinating facts and stories about Pergamon. It felt like we were on a tour with a friend, that’s how friendly Ezgi was! Next time we are in Izmir, we would definitely request her to be our tour guide.

Ezgi was very good at guiding and explaining all the places around the ruins of Pergamon. She is very good at taking photos. I had very good time touring with her. our driver Mohammed was very good and cooperative. Over all it was great day!!
