5.00Best private tour possible, our guide Aydin was personable and helpful. His background as a retired educator really helped set the stage for everything we saw during the tour. Great overall experience, he made sure we made it everywhere we wanted on time and got to see the most important parts with time to spare. Very cordial and friendly, his guide experience shone through. We all had a fantastic time, it has been our best excursion of our 9 day cruise. Highly recommended.
