Yavuz, our guide was excellent & he was very patient & accommodating. No hidden cost was really no hidden cost! All entries to sites & lunch were all taken cared of by Yavuz. Lunch was good & satisfying. Best thing about it is that Yavuz gave us the flexibility with our schedule to adjust to where we wanted to go, what we wanted to see & what we wanted to go.
