We had an amazing experience. The tour 100% went above and beyond our expectations. We saw all of the sites we were interested in & Zeki made sure we had an optimal experience. All items were tailored to our needs/wants. We had a family member with some walking difficulties & Zeki adjusted the tour to meet the need while still giving options for others in our group. If you are questioning where to book, this is your place.
