The itenary was excellent and well paced. The hotel locations were like in the thick of things and travel arrangements were superb. I would like to thank ozhan for the wonderful support in the booking phase and during our stay. He was always a message away. Our balloon ride was cancelled due to bad weather but he made sure we were able to do it the next day. Thank you.
