Great tour, highly recommended This was an excellent tour. The sites we visited were outstanding; many of them are UNESCO heritage sites. Our visits were made even better because of our guide, Selim, who accompanied us on this tour. He was very enthusiastic about the sites that we visited. He was very knowledgeable, giving mini history lessons about the sites and supporting these with documentation. He helped us to have a greater understanding and appreciation of their historical importance in this part of the world. Our drivers, were very capable, professional and courteous during the entire trip; transporting us to all venues safely. Accommodations arranged for the trip overall were enjoyable. This is a tour that we would highly recommend. We were very happy that we chose it.
