Tolay the tour guide was amazing. So was The driver. HOWEVER. Don’t book this trip. It’s 7 hours in the car there and back! That’s what the tour operator doesn’t tell you. For a total of 10 hours, that sounds rather ridiculous. Waste of time and money. Our guide allowed us to spend the day in Istanbul instead and showed us some Lovely sights. She was wonderful. I highly recommend the tour guide and driver but strongly recommend you avoid this if you’re coming from Istanbul.

If you like Architecture, you respect Mimar Sinan, Edirne is a place to not miss. A wonderful place to visit despite the traffic going from/to Istanbul. Once you reach Edirne, be ready for very special delicious meal of Liver from Ciğerci Niyazi Usta.
Thanks a lot for Turista Travel Agency and many special thanks and appreciation for our tour guide Mrs. Toba and her driver Adel and his assistant Mustafa.
