Lori was one of the best Viator tour directors that we've ever had. She explained the history and highlights of the area in clear English, anticipating what we wanted to know. She gave us options on what to do in our limited time in the Area and she guarantees we would be back to the port on time, which we were.

The tour takes you yo everywhere you need to go in the region. Being a private tour really makes a difference. But the big difference was our fantastic guide Goksu, very knowledgeable and very friendly.

Our guide Erin did a great job giving me the history of the ancient city. It was just my husband and I in the car with guide and driver. They dropped us off at 2 places that were selling us pottery and rugs. It was cool to see and the pottery is a dying part of there culture but very expensive
