Amazing experience for very good price. Our guide (Fatima) was very likeable and knowledgeable. Good tour itinerary, very easy going trip. Only thing I didnt like was the "jewelry" shop, which felt very forced. Good selection for the lunch too, though I would prefer to sit directly on the water. Anyway I really have to recommend this tour, day very well spent.

Definitely recommend this tour. All the stops are lovely with plenty of photo opportunities. The photos included in the advertisement do not do justice to how beautiful the sites truly are. Our guide Fatima was very friendly and lunch was tasty. Go on this tour! My only critique would be to remove the jewelry shop stop.

Enjoyed all the sight seeing with a knowledgeable guide passionate about religious history who spoke great English. My favorite was the Saleme Monastery and the underground city of Derinkuyu. I realized afterwards that I could have booked the same tour for 60% of the cost I paid to get your guide.
