Wonderful! - The tour guide was full of interesting facts and history. My favorite part was the dancing and singing. Turks love to sign and dance and celebrate their heritage, we got to see this displayed at a local dance show. I would especially recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kars. There was a man at one point dancing with fiery torches balanced from his mouth. 10/10 very cool. Eastern Turkey overall was a stunning place to visit.
