Excellent tour in Turkey (Kusadasi) - Had a fantastic tour with our guide Ozan. Very patient and knowledgeable. Could not ask for a better guide. As well travelled as we are, you know that tours and especially guides can be a hit or miss. This, my fiends was a HIT. Frankly, if things go wrong, in all likelihood, the issue is you. Ozan was on time (helps a whole lot if you have WhatsApp (but not mandatory)) for our disembarkation and return to the boat. Bottom line, 5 out of 5 stars.
