5.00Selcuk is a knowledgeable, experienced tour guide and overall good person! He navigated both traffic and attraction lines expertly….timing our arrival to minimize wait times. He taught us so much about Turkey, not just the region we were visiting. He shared just enough information to really draw us in but not so much that we were overwhelmed. Really, a perfect tour experience. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Turkey and all the incredible historic sites of this beautiful country.
10/10 experience
