Fantastic and passionate tour guide - Nur was a fantastic tour guide. He met us at exactly the appointed time and started giving information about this lovely city instantly. He told us facts about everything - from the trees to the buildings and people in history. We walked and talked and 2 hours flew by. I highly recommend this tour.

Scammed out of money via a no-show "guide" - Our guide never showed up and won't respond to inquiries about refunding our money! I never thought Viator would be complicit in a scam, but I don't know what else to call this. Viator is apparently turning a blind eye to this fraud, which means we won't be using them again. I saw other reviews about the guide not showing up for this tour and refusing to refund money, but I foolishly thought it was an anomaly. We've been on tours throughout Europe and the U.S. and have never been scammed like this. Please don't risk your hard-earned money on this "tour."

Tour was too short - The tour lasted less than an hour when the description offered a 2-hour tour. Out of 60 minutes, 15 were spent at a rest stop, where we purchased water and went to the restroom, meaning that we only enjoyed 45 minutes of touring!
