    This was not a consistent, guided tour from start to end. If you are looking for a pieced together itinerary with varying tour operators, and prefer to manage the itinerary yourself,you are likely to enjoy this program. Be sure to get Ajdinis Travel's contact details at the start of the tour to help with any problems or suggestions along the way. Once I was in contact with Ajdinis, they communicated regularly and were very supportive when I identified some issues with the tour operator they had engaged for the first 4 days of this itinerary. The activities included were great and once I understood this was being run as a private, self directed and pieced together itinerary, my expectations were lowered and I enjoyed the tour more. The hotel locations for the first 6 days weren't in / close to the old centres which was disappointing when wanting to leisurely walk around and find restaurants and shops. From Istanbul onwards, the hotel locations were perfect!
