Our guide was excellent in his explanations and with his consideration of our group. BuIt can be very cold at the visit places.
Absolutely superb made all the better by the guide, Burak, an extremely knowledgeable individual with a very nice manner.
Long bus journey, but well worth it. Very moving day accompanied by a wonderful, respectful and knowledgeable guide.
This is probably the best guided day trip I’ve ever done. The guide (Hasan) was really knowledgeable and gave an amazing account of the history including very specific battles. He also tailored his stories based on the areas from Aus and NZ people were from, including detouring to see one persons’ families’ grave. The drive to and from Istanbul is long but definitely worth it!
Thank you for your review..
