Lisa – Belgium

Yashar is a knowledgeable, informative and welcoming guide. He shared many details about the history and the culture. The tour is a great mix of nature and city experience. The only downside was lunch’s restaurant which felt like a tourist trap.

Florence – Malaysia

Great tour! Equally wonderful guide! Yashar is friendly and charming! And of course, extremely knowledgeable too! He knows everything there is to tell about the places we visited! He took us to the best spots for photos and also took beautiful photos of us to bring home.
