12 Temmuz 2026Rehberimizin tarihi bilgisi ve anlatım dili harikaydı, her detayla ilgilendi. Ancak öğle yemeği için durduğumuz restoranda servis biraz yavaş kaldı, yoğunluktan dolayı beklemek zorunda kaldık. Yine de genel organizasyon çok başarılıydı.

28 Haziran 2026Our guide spoke excellent English and was super knowledgeable about the history. The tour pace was good, though it involved a bit more walking than expected under the sun. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes and hat!

15 Mayıs 2026Araç transferi tam vaktindeydi, klima ve araç konforu gayet iyiydi. Yalnızca müze girişlerindeki sıra biraz uzundu, biletler önceden temin edilse zamandan daha fazla tasarruf edilebilirdi. Rehberin güler yüzü eksikleri kapattı.

3 Mayıs 2026Great experience overall! Everything was well-planned from start to finish. The only small downside was the sound level of the audio headsets in noisy areas, but the guide managed to keep everyone connected seamlessly.

19 Nisan 2026Eşimle birlikte katıldık ve çok memnun kaldık. Rotada yer alan duraklar özenle seçilmişti. Sadece serbest zaman süresi bize biraz kısa geldi, hediyelik eşya dükkanlarını rahatça gezemedik. Yine de kesinlikle tavsiye ederiz.
