    · September 24th, 2025
    We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and finished feeling very happy that we had added it to our itinerary. Faruk was very experienced, professional snd essy company; our driver very competent and helpful and the car more luxurious than we had expected (although usb charging points would have been greatly apprecated). We enjoyed all the sights we visited with the addition of the mosaic museum (Zeugma) an amazing additional highlight. The food stops were very local and tasty. Our accommodation was comfortable; there had been a smoker in our first room (White Hotel), which was not the best for my wife's asthma, but that was a hotel issue. Mt Nemrut was fantastic as was the temple archaeological site. The changed schedule of Mt Nemrut on day 1 worked well because it enabled a more leisurely pace on day 2, but we would recommend leaving Cappadocia an hour earlier i.e. 7.00 - 7.30 to make this less rushed. The weather was very cold and windy, but we would have liked a bit longer there. Notwithstanding we were very grateful that Faruk brought us down before it got dark as a safety precaution. A second recommendation would be for some general advice on the amount of cash to carry, as we spent most of what we had. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.
