Selcuk was incredibly knowledgeable and tailored the day to suit us (we were the only clients on the tour). All historical sites were fully explained, the lunch was delicious and Selcuk himself was a really interesting person. We'd highly recommend this tour.

A lovely day. The timing was good, we skipped line ups. The information provided by the guide was great with a nice balance of freedom for photos. The lunch was very nice with a great selection of local dishes that were quite tasty. I would do this again any time.
