A very good tour. Our tour guide Deniz was extremely helpful, considerate and flexible, allowing variations to suit our wishes. He was extremely knowledgeable of the locations. Also Deniz took us to many local restaurants and gave us a true taste of the local cuisine. We felt safe at all times with Deniz and Hamzah (our driver). The tour organizers pre tour were very helpful and allowed us some flexibility. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this tour. As a note, if it is a high priority for you to visit Mt Nemrut, we would suggest visiting from May onwards. We visited on 13 Aril and couldn't climb to the statues due to the snow coverage and high winds. Also we would recommend not missing the optional balloon flight in Cappodacia as it was amazing.Show more
