We booked this tour mainly because my husband is a huge fan of the Ertugrul series, and it exceeded our expectations. The journey to the filming set was comfortable, and once we arrived, it was surreal to walk through the sets where key moments of the show were filmed. My husband and daughter took part in the acting scene inside the tent — fully costumed and filmed alongside one of the original actors. Honestly, seeing them ride the horse and deliver their lines like real warriors was worth every penny. Lunch was simple but delicious, and the afternoon visit to Sogut was a highlight, with a great market and an incredible horseback performance. Highly recommended for fans and families.
What a fantastic day! The 1-hour drive passed quickly with our guide sharing stories about the series and its historical inspirations. Arriving at the set, we were amazed that it’s still an active filming location — some scenes from Osman are being prepared right now. The opportunity to meet the actors was such a bonus. Watching one of them demonstrate his glass art, a family tradition, was fascinating — I couldn’t resist buying a small piece to take home. Although we didn’t do the costume experience ourselves, we enjoyed watching others perform with the actor in the tent. The horse riding scenes were especially fun to witness. The day ended with a trip to Sogut, where the horse riders put on an impressive stunt show. Worth it for any Ertugrul fan.
From the first meeting point, everything was seamless and friendly. Relax during the ride and get briefed about the day’s schedule.

The Ertugrul filming village was like stepping into the series itself. We saw the sets, met two actors, and admired the handmade glass art one of them creates. Even though the costume scene was extra, just watching other guests act it out was entertaining. Lunch was simple and fresh. Sogut, with its market and castle ruins, was a nice addition to the tour. I’d recommend this experience to fans of the show and those curious about Turkish TV productions.
أجواء رائعة وهادئة، كأننا عدنا إلى زمن أرطغرل الحقيقي.
A fantastic tour for fans of the Ertugrul series. Loved exploring the filming village and seeing the authentic costumes.

كانت الجولة جميلة ولكن مكان الالتقاء لم يكن واضحًا واضطررنا للانتظار طويلًا.
تجربة لا تنسى، أحببنا المعارض والأزياء التاريخية والقرية المصممة بدقة.
