“I am not normally a tour person, normally I travel solo. I found this tour to be excellent. It was very well organized with lots of diversity. Most tours are only on a bus. On this tour we travelled by plane, boat, and van. We saw a lot in the 15 days, but I never felt hurried or that I was missing out on something. In addition to the planned activities, we had a good amount of free time as well. This tour also included the entrances to all the monuments and museums that we visited, which made it even more of a good value. The hotels were outstanding. We stayed mostly in 4 or 5-star hotels with one 3 star. (That one, in Bursa, was not as good as the others) Our guide was amazing. He knew everything. He shared lots of information with us, not only about where we were but the culture, the people, as well as the history. Don't hesitate, this tour is wonderful.”
