Nous avons adoré notre journée. Nous étions un groupe de 6 personnes du Québec. Notre guide était vraiment extraordinaire. Il parlait très bien le français. Il était très intéressant, connaissait très bien l'histoire de son pays. Il répondait très bien à nos questions. En plus des 4 heures prévues de l'excursion, il nous a fait découvrir une école de fabrication de tapis turcs et une manufacture de cuir. Suite à notre demande, il nous a fait découvrir un petit restaurant typique de la place, nous avons très bien mangé et avons eu un excellent service. Encore Merci pour cette superbe journée !

Our tour was perfect! From the moment we stepped off the boat, our guide Tay and driver were so attentive and knowledgeable. We learned so much, went at a pace that was perfect for the four of us and could not have asked for a better experience.
