Testimonials

The journey was quite long and towards the end, after lunch, we were exhausted and worn out. Nevertheless, the places we visited were fascinating and unique. From the beginning till the end, our guide (I think his name was Bayran) maintained a cheerful and light-hearted attitude. He also had extensive knowledge about the area and provided insightful observations and comments. He used the travel time to provide information about the upcoming place so that we wouldn't be late. Overall, the tour was of a reasonable standard, with an amazing guide who made it a 5-star experience.
