    It was an excellent trip overall, and the guide Genarro was excellent. However, the hosts Luna D'Agerola hotel were terrible and stingy. They were monitoring us and acting not nicely whenever we got food from the daily breakfast buffet.

    Turkey is quite amazing. Especially when you have a tour guide like Alkan. His knowledge, advice, humour and careful, thoughtful civility made the whole tour incredible. Thanks
