Rehber Erman Uslu was a very efficient guide, and one of the only redeemable qualities of this tourist-trap tour. Unfortunately, they make you stop at an onyx factory where you feel pushed to purchase fake jewelry and tickets to the Ancient Pool (which is smelly and filled with algae). That being said, Erman was attentive, willing to answer our questions, and very fun to be around. I recommend the guide, not the tour.
We appreciate your feedback and also thank you for recognizing the quality of the services we promised and provided during the tour. We would like to clarify that the local producer stops are clearly stated in the itinerary and are included to support local communities, regional craftsmanship, and sustainable tourism; any purchase at these stops is entirely optional. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you on another journey with Gezenthi Travel Agency.
