“Thank you - Tourgide Nur is really amazing. She told us so much information and was very informal so it was like a day out with a friend. Very funny girl, let us sleep in the bus. The trip is long but the day was full of activities I also really liked the guy from the wine farm. Kind & let us taste very good wines with melon and grapes. Totally worth the pay and time.” (Reviewed on 2025-05-05)
