Turkey's gastronomy capital — baklava, kebap, and copper.
What is a custom tour to Gaziantep?
A custom tour to Gaziantep is a private, fully personalized itinerary built around your dates, interests, and budget. Instead of following a fixed group schedule, you work with a local expert to choose experiences like Zeugma Mosaics with archaeologist, Kebap and pistachio food crawl, and Gaziantep Castle + Culinary Museum. Travelers typically spend 7–10 days in Gaziantep, visiting in April–May, September–November, with custom tours starting from around €1,400 per person.
A custom tour to Gaziantep is not the same trip as a package. It's designed around you — your pace, your interests, your dates — with a local partner who lives there and knows which streets are worth the walk and which are worth skipping. A custom Gaziantep tour books Zeugma mosaics museum with an archaeologist (Roman mosaics rivalling anywhere), a baklava factory tour with a master, and a kebap crawl that'll redefine kebap for you.
Gaziantep sits in Turkey in Asia, and rewards travelers who go beyond the highlights. Our custom itineraries start with the icons — Zeugma Mosaics with archaeologist and Baklava factory master class — then pivot to the kind of local moments that make a trip memorable: a long lunch with a local chef, a quiet hour at Copper workshops and before the crowds arrive, and an evening chosen just for you.
Plan for April–May, September–November as the best window to visit. A one-week custom trip starts from €1,400 per person, including private guides, curated hotels, and flexible transport — peak weeks cost more, shoulder months less. Gaziantep still offers excellent value compared to comparable destinations.
