Our tour guide was great and interacted with us and our child very well. The lunch was delicious aswell. Would have preferred a little longer at the sites instead of going to the jewelry shop however I'm sure that would appeal to some. The Turkish delight factory shop was nice though. The driver was friendly and a safe driver and the lunch provided was tasty and fresh…”
