    Average trips, additional stops at outlets added to make the tour look like a long duration one.... overhyped

    Nice two days

    Visitor, Apr 2021
    The tour is delivered as promised. First day had more attractions but fewer details from the guide, the second day included traveling long distance to various sites with great explanation from the guide. We were unfortunate the first day as our group mixed English and Turkish speaking tourists, so the guide had to explain in two languages. The sites we visited on both days were worth to see. We enjoyed it
