Everything was wonderful, the tour guides spoke good Spanish and they all knew all the relevant information about all the sites we visited. I am marking good because you have to add all the expenses related to the museums. Some of the days can include no activities at all if you decide to not pay for them. This is not really stated in the description but in the small letters at the end of the same description. Also, there are some stops you have to make that feel that you are falling into one of those tourist traps in which they will try to sell you leather clothing for an insane amount of money or ceramic handcrafts. Nothing is compulsory but the sellers can be quite intense. Also need to consider the tipping. Around 200-400 TRY every single time you get a service or go to a restaurant can end up being a lot of money. In general I recommend the tour.Show more
