Three of us booked this tour on a whim and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. The Atatürk Mansion’s hilltop gardens were enchanting—perfect for photos—and slipping through the grand rooms felt like discovering hidden history. Ayasofya Mosque surprised us with its serene frescoes and the way Byzantine carvings blend into Ottoman arches. Finally, sipping apple tea on Boztepe Hill as the Black Sea sparkled below was pure magic. Our guide’s friendly stories made every stop feel personal and authentic.

Our family of four had a mostly delightful day. The mansion’s panoramic views over Trabzon were unforgettable, and our kids were fascinated by Atatürk’s summer quarters. Ayasofya Mosque’s intricate tilework was beautiful, though we barely had time to linger inside before moving on. Boztepe Hill was the perfect finale—relaxing tea and sweeping sea vistas—but a little more time there would have made it five stars for us.

Strolling through Atatürk Mansion’s lush gardens felt like a breath of fresh air, and the mansion’s elegant rooms offer a real glimpse into the past. Ayasofya Mosque’s peaceful interior invited quiet reflection, and I found myself pausing to admire every fresco. Ending at Boztepe Hill with a cup of local tea while watching the sun slip behind the hills was the perfect, serene touch.
