Memorable trip - An authentic experience. My husband was a little skeptical as we were driven far into the countryside but our guide made it wonderful. It is a tourist town for Turkish people and we were guided through the church marketplace and a restaurant with a lovely view. A friendly lady in one shop made Turkish coffee for us and let us hold her macaw

Excellent service - We had a really good day trip to Sirinçe. We were collected punctually by Harun from the hotel had a guided tour of the village. It was amazing. We also went to The house of the Virgin Mary for Sunday Mass, We also had collection and drop of from Bodrum airport to Kusadasi. People carrier was spacious spotless and very comfortable journey. I will definitely be using again and would not hesitate to recommend Harun and Bulut Brother to anyone.

Nice, casual excursion - The drive to the mountains was nice. The driver led us through the village to the highest vantage point, everything was very cozy with Met.

Pretty village and delicious breakfast - Good little trip from our hotel near Kusadasi to the pretty little village of Sirenze. We just requested a taxi but a guide came anyway at no extra charge. The guide Sevda was very friendly and showed us to some hidden corners of the village including a lovely hilltop restaurant where we had a delicious Turkish breakfast. At our request we were also taken to the Basilica of St John as part of the trip. All told, a nice time. The taxi was clean and on time and we had a very good trip.

Sorrince is a really nice destination for something a bit different from Kusadasi - My wife and i enjoyed this tour The driver was helpful where he could be ,a suggestion for the tour providors would be to have there staff more familiar with the town of Sorrince and its history

Taxi pick up and drop off - We were picked up by a taxi on time. Sadly our driver was not english speaking. Lovely drive to Sirince, however we were dropped off without any guidance, there was no tour guide. We didn’t have a clue where to go or what the landmarks were. Some lovely shops and cafes. We did get lost on the winding roads in the heat on our way back to car park. Our driver wanted us to return within 2hr 45 mins although the tour stated it would be 5 and we wanted to stay for the friday mosque prayers- unfortunately we could not. A taxi pick up and drop off service to be honest. Disappointing

Avoid not a tour of village life - Very disappointed. It was just a taxi ride to the town and being pointed to the shops. Driver spoke very little English. No tour or information on village life. No areas other than repetitive shops selling local jam, wine and poor quality crafts.
