The trip was well organized, and there was plenty of time for sightseeing. It would have been nice to spend a little more time in Urfa, since there are some interesting museums there as well. The selection of accommodations was great, though unfortunately some of the restaurants we visited for lunch were not. The restaurant for our farewell dinner was also overpriced. Perhaps these meals should be included if you don’t have a choice of where to eat. Aside from that, I was very satisfied. Our guide, with his friendly manner, was also a great companion on our trip.Show more
