Excellent Tour of Western Turkey Our guide Çağman was very knowledgeable about both ancient and modern Turkish history, and about architecture. He provided in-depth descriptions of the places we visited, and was always happy to answer our questions and to give us suggestions for which regional foods to try as we proceeded through the country. The accommodations were all very nice, and we felt very safe and welcome in this beautiful, historic country.
Do your research, hotel ratings in US are different than Turkey. Give info on interests and research the places they are sending you. We needed to make our expectations and wants clearer to help them help us, otherwise they will send you on a private trip that is the same as the big busses.
We were able to see a number of excellent historical and cultural sites in Turkey in 10 days. The pace wasn't very hectic and the driving from one city to another was no more than 3 hours.
