This Amasya private tour takes one day, with pick-up and drop-off at your hotel. A licensed guide, a minivan with driver, lunch and entrance fees are included. You see the Amasya Museum, the Yeşilırmak riverside, the Ferhat and Şirin monument and the Pontic royal tombs, and finish at Harşena Castle. Expect stepped paths and some climbing, which the guide paces to suit your group.
This tour suits travelers who want history and landscape in one day. The tombs and the castle need steady feet, so the day fits visitors who can manage stepped rock paths and a climb. Families with older children tend to enjoy the riverside walk and the museum, where the pace can change from one room to the next. Anyone who prefers a short city visit with no climbing can ask the team to shorten the cliff section before booking. The group keeps the guide to itself, so questions about Pontic kings or Ottoman mosques can run as long as the group wants.
Spring and autumn are the easiest months for the cliff paths, because the tombs and the castle involve steps and sustained climbing. Winter days are cold, so bring a warm layer. Amasya Merzifon Airport is the closest, and many visitors also come by road from Samsun or Ankara. Flights are not part of the tour price, so plan to reach the city the evening before. Carry water for the climb, since most of the day is spent outdoors.

It is a one-day private tour. Pick-up is at your hotel in Amasya, and the day ends with the drop-off at the same hotel. The route covers the museum, the mosque, the river, the monument, the King's Tombs and Harşena Castle, and the pace can be changed with the guide.
Both involve climbing. The tombs are reached by stepped rock paths, and the castle sits on a peak about 300 meters above the city. Wear sturdy shoes, and tell the team before booking if someone in the group cannot manage steps.
Lunch at a local restaurant with a soft drink, a comfortable minivan with an experienced driver, a licensed professional guide, entrance fees to the museum and sites, and local taxes, parking and fuel. Tips and optional tours are not covered.

Yes. The tour is private, so the guide can extend one visit and shorten another. The Ferhat and Şirin Monument can be seen from outside for free, and a municipal ticket opens the Lovers Museum beside it, if your group wants to go in.
