The guide was in a huge rush; he didn't give us time for photos or any free time to view the sights. Several people tried asking if we could have a moment for photos, but he was very rude, insisting that "this is how the tour works." It started raining, and he forced us to follow him through the downpour; when I politely mentioned I wasn't feeling well enough to walk in the rain, he said that if I didn't follow him, my tour would end right there. I needed to withdraw cash for the boat trip, but he refused to show me where an ATM was, leaving me to fend for myself in a city that was completely unfamiliar to me. I do not recommend this tour or this rude guide, who shows no regard for tourists' needs. There were people in the group with small children who couldn't keep up with the guide because he walked so fast; parents were forced to carry their children and run after him just to avoid falling behind the group. He took us to a very expensive jewelry store where we spent about an hour and a half doing nothing, because not everyone can afford to spend hundreds of pounds on jewelry. His name was Mehmet.
