“I was the only one that turned up, the lady in charge wasn’t really interested she demanded to know where I came from how old I was and what was I doing here they may sound normal to some people but she had a harsh attitude.

“Yasemin was fantastic! I had the privilege to be single person for that day tour, so I had, I think, special treatment, as we completed the programme while at the same time she gave me more interesting facts about the city and also gave me some nice recommendations for buying presents to my family and friends. I also enjoyed the driving of our chofer, he was very professional and managed us to arrive to starting point wonderfully. Super recommended activity! Specially on Mondays as museums and mosques are closed so you can improve the day with this tour!”
