“Really enjoyed our tour! Plus it was a great value. Ahmet, our tour guide, was great : The places we saw were fantastic! We took someone's advice from a previous review about flying back to Istanbul instead of taking the bus back because it was mostly a travel day, like 9-10 hours, and we're glad we did. Got a cheap flight and got another full day in Istanbul. Definitely recommend this tour. Rebecca R,”
