Nice two days - The tour is delivered as promised. First day had more attractions but fewer details from the guide, the second day included traveling long distance to various sites with great explanation from the guide. We were unfortunate the first day as our group mixed English and Turkish speaking tourists, so the guide had to explain in two languages. The sites we visited on both days were worth to see. We enjoyed it
