Recommend!!

16-Apr-2020

The tour was great! Saw lot's of great sites. All the tour guides were packed with information. Everything was well planned out and easy to communicate with someone if I needed to. Hotel selections were awesome, great locations, easy check-in process and good food. All the lunches were great but one (the food was bland, and the atmosphere was not the best) however, all the other eating places were delicious great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this tour if it's your first round in turkey. ...more ...less
