Gaziantep (Antep) Private Full Day Tour ★ 4.0 · Gaziantep
ToursByLocals lists a single Gaziantep product, an eight-hour private day tour for one to three people with private transport and a vetted local guide who works in English and Arabic.
Tip: The itinerary is built with the guide before you travel, so ask for food stops explicitly.
Express foodie: Gaziantep bazaars, Zeugma and a baklava workshop ★ 3.9 · Gaziantep
My Turkey Adventure runs private Gaziantep itineraries with Ministry of Culture and Tourism licensed guides, built around the old bazaars, the Zeugma museum and a baklava workshop.
Tip: One, two and three-day frameworks are published, but no prices are, so you have to ask for a quote.
2-Day Tour from Gaziantep to Göbeklitepe and Halfeti ★ 3.8 · Gaziantep
This two-day trip leaves Gaziantep for Göbeklitepe, Şanlıurfa and the half-sunken village of Halfeti, with transfers, guiding and regional meals included.
Tip: It ends in Şanlıurfa rather than back in Gaziantep, so book it at the start or the end of your trip, not in the middle.
Halfeti and Gaziantep Private Day Trip from Şanlıurfa ★ 3.7 · Gaziantep
Turkish City Wonders runs a private day that links Şanlıurfa, the drowned village of Halfeti and Gaziantep, useful if you are working the region by road.
Tip: It starts and ends in Şanlıurfa, so it suits a Şanlıurfa base rather than a Gaziantep one.
