Very good and interesting tour of Noah’s Ark National Park, Mt Ararat, Arzep Village, and Ishak Pasha Palace. Adem was a very good guide, very informative, and showed a lot of passion and concern for the tourism in the area. A very good day tour! Highly recommend!

You will see the beautiful region. Its landscapes and areas of interest. We visited in early May with beautiful weather. Saw majestic Mt Ararat, the site suspected to be Noah’s ark, and Ishak Pasha Palace. We had a great guide Metin, who drove us everywhere and accommodated our asks. He shared much about the region, history and people.

Metin was an amazing tour guide and extremely knowledgeable about the history of everything we did on the tour. We customized the tour around what we wanted to do, as well as his suggestions. The highlights included: Mount Ararat and Noah's Ark, Ishak Pasa Palace, Urtarian Castle, the Anchor Rock, Dogubayazit City Center, and a delicious traditional Turkish lunch.

Adem was extremely helpful, and made sure we had a fabulous experience. We loved taking in the culture of the area, the scenery and learning from our guide. There was great communication, and quick responses from the company for our questions. We cannot fault anything - and thoroughly recommend this tour. Our family had a wonderful time.
