Kristi· November 20th, 2024This was a wonderful tour through a part of the world I didn't know much about. This was also my first multi-day guided tour. My parents signed up for Sofia to Istanbul Discovery and I decided to join them. Enes was a fantastic guide. He provided valuable insight into the places we visited and the cultural similarities and differences between them. He was energetic yet grounded, flexible where he could be, and had a great sense of humor. This tour covers a lot of ground, and each person in our group had a different "favorite" location. I admit I was sad to part ways with Enes and our driver when we flew to Istanbul. Our group was small and quickly became a family. However, the tour guide we were connected with in Turkey was also fantastic, and Enes checked in with us the whole time we were there. My parents and I extended our stay in Istanbul by a few days, and our guide gave us great recommendations for additional places to visit. I'd highly recommend a tour with Ajdinis. It's clear that they care a lot about their customers' experiences. Enes and the Ajdinis team made us feel safe the entire time. Their tours are thoughtful put together, and they're eager and open to feedback. I'm grateful for the experience exploring with my parents. This was a special trip I'll remember for the rest of my life. Thank you!Show more
Trip date: April 2024- PTPaul· May 17th, 2024Excellent, educational tour. My only criticism was that moving each night to a new hotel got tiring after awhile. Enos was an excellent guide and always looking for ways to adapt the tour to our interests.
