    Very thorough cultural experience of Turkiey. Our guide Saba was quite entertaining & knowledgeable with pertinent history, national statistics, & personal stories. Very helpful with any suggestions or personal needs. I felt as if the tour was tailored to my taste, even though there were 20 other people.
