Layla was a good tour guide, knowledgeable. She arrived at the hotel on time and we were taken to all the tourist spots on our list. Our only disappointment was that we did not get to spend more time at the grand bazar…..Leila should have organized our time better. We spent way too much time over lunch which minimized our time at the bazar.

It was an amazing tour. Our guide (Typhoon ?) was perfect. Super knowledgeable and knew how to strategically optimize our time. Lots of walking and learned so much history. Highly recommend.

If I could give 6 star I would give that. Evren was fenomenal both in competence as well in creativity to avoid duplications with places we saw in the previous couple of days and adjusting our schedule and itinerary accordingly. Granted we were lucky to be the only customers in this group I want to underline the professionalism to still carry on what expected even if with a group of just 2 customers but I would still highly recommend this tour as one of the most value for the money (includes tickets for museums and palaces or transportation). Top notch.
