The whole trip was well organised by our guide Nilufer assisted by an excellent driver Recep. We were in a small group which made getting around much easier. We managed to customise some parts of our tour and it made the whole experience so much richer. There was ample time for sight-seeing with top notch explanations from Nilufer with lots of extra information about the culture, history & beauty of every city we visited. Camaraderie among the small group was great and everyone was very accommodating which made the trip so much fun. Not every hotel was great but it was mostly only for a night - so not a big deal. Food prices were unexpectedly higher than we thought and variety was about the same everywhere. But, overall it was definitely an enjoyable trip!!

Very dense tour (there is not much free time and the times are tight) but very very beautiful, very prepared guide, hotels beyond expectations, given the still low price. The only thing that was absolutely senseless was the visit to the leather shop... we expected an explanation of the workmanship, as was done for the carpets and, even if to a lesser extent, for stones and jewels, while it turned out to be just a visit to a shop. In any case, a highly recommended experience!

We had a great day with the guide. He listens and adapts the excursion according to our desires. I recommend 100%. It was very very good. We were with 2 teenagers and he made sure they didn't get bored. It was great!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and was quite happy to ask us what we wanted to see and explain to us the history. It was an extremely interesting tour.

It was wonderful to travel with Yunuz, he is a fabulous guide, highly recommended.
