Perfect Tour with Knowledgeable Guide - The best tour I’ve ever been on! Yusef was such a knowledgeable guide, and he put all the sites into context with his engaging explanation of the region’s history. Myra was remarkable, and the sunken city boat trip was beautiful. The included lunch was one of the best meals we had on the trip. I can’t recommend this tour enough!
