    The tour guides were great and very helpful however we would NOT recommend this tour as the Turkey hotel called Saltan Celal was below standard and the pre organised lunches and restaurants on this entire tour were very poor and need reviewing.

    The sites and guides were great! The hotels all two star and every tour had a sales pitch stop. The sales pitches were educational, but nothing we were interested in. The tour should cost a bit more with better accommodations. Again, the guides and the places we visited were exceptional.
