We really liked the excursion and the activities. Everything was great . The only negative is the time that is lost in picking up people and the bazaars that take you in the middle of the excursion to (Read More) do business. It does not seem right .

The trip was really cool. The driver was always safe, the van was reasonable but didn't offer the option of charging cell phones. The route is interesting because it allows you to see a little of the (Read More)surroundings of Istanbul and some of the nature in that area. The trip was well organized and planned, but I wasn't expecting that lunch wouldn't include dessert or coffee. The guide who accompanied us was amazing, tireless, attentive, polite and understanding. Always available to help. He spoke good English. In short, a very good guide. I loved the trip and I recommend it.
