Very informative tour guide and well organized tour . Even the lunch was pretty decent . We had some issues in electronic tickets at some counter , however the tour guide has managed it well eventhough it took 1 hour due to the quee . In short i will defenity recomment this company to all .

Published on Aug, 2019

Amazing city, atmosphere, and if you are first time , just must take the tour from one or other agency.. alone will spend more time and see less especialy if have only 4-3 days.

Excellent tour

Published on Aug, 2019

You get to see everything in one day! highly recommended, out tour guide was very good and he explained everything of each place we visited

Exciting Day of Adventuring

Published on Apr, 2018

Well the trip was definitely well organised. From arriving at my hotel just before 8:30 am to pick me up, to dropping me home, to our guide Bulut being very knowledgeable and full of facts and made the trip very pleasant, as I was a solo backpacker who had just arrived the night before. Brought us to beautiful places, both to see and for having lunch. Would definitely recommend this and will definitely do tours with them again.
