A fascinating, informative tour! Would highly recommend. - Driven safely by our driver, Igut, we explored the many wonders included in the Green Tour with a small group (5 others). Our guide, Hakan, was excellent, and had a great, engaging way to bring the history of the region and what we were seeing come to life! No long rehearsed speeches that we've experienced on other trips before, instead, it was clear that Hakan was well-read, knowledgeable, and had a genuine passion for understanding the history of the area. He pitched it just at the right level, allowing us time to digest information, ask questions and explore independently where we could.
Would highly recommend. We had a fantastic time! Thankyou!
