Esra is a superior tour guide! She is very knowledgeable and made it easy to see the immense history of Troy as it built throughout the centuries. Part of our group had physical challenges and she went out of her way to make it possible to view as much as possible! I could not recommend her more and am glad we chose her.

Esra made Troy come to life! She knew how to approach a crowded site and was very knowledgeable. Her explanations were clear and interesting, and she really seemed enthusiastic about what she was teaching us. We enjoyed the museum as well!

There were 6 of us that went on this Tour in Canakkale, Turkey for the City of Troy Archaeological Site and Museum with Esra. Esra was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable. She had a driver so that she could tell us about the story of Troy on the way to the Site. At the Site, it was really helpful that she was able to tell us what we were seeing and experiencing. And since we had a small group, we could hear her very well. I totally recommend this excursion with Esra!

Esra was a wonderful guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and she made our tour of Troy very enjoyable. There were only two of us and Esra was great at navigating us away from large tour groups. We highly recommend Esra for private tours.

Esra was a wonderful guide - friendly and knowledgeable. I requested a 5 hour Legends of Troy Tour for 10 people from our cruise group. The ship changed our port date a couple weeks before our trip and Esra responded quickly to confirm the date change. She and her driver were on time and easily visible to meet. Because she was always responsive, it gave me confidence that this tour would be a successful one. We toured the sites and the museum and she was flexible with all our group requests. Excellent!
