You won't see the tombs

While we had a great day and Sonny (our guide) was great we booked this trip to see the Carrion tombs. They were on the brochure and we checked when booking but we didn't see them. I would have marked a point lower but the guide was really good. His humour and passing on of Turkish knowledge was excellent. Lunch wasn't until 3pm which for a 9am start was a bit late for my liking but we did have a good day. Stops were in nice locations and scenery was stunning in places .

Good trip, but long and not great for less mobile people.

The guide, Sonny, was fantastic. Really informative with good humour. Beautiful places visited and a lovely meal provided. However, lunch wasn't until 1530 and we didn't get back to resort until after 1900. My Mum has mobility issues and there was quite a bit of walking and some stairs. All of this would be handy to know in advance. We did a similar trip last year in a jeep, which was much more enjoyable and more practical than a coach.

Lovely Day Out

Lovely day out, river boat was lovely as water was so clear. Jumped in the cold stream after a lovely dinner. Just be wary as not ideal for someone who struggles with walking as they are unable to pull the coach right in so there is a bit of walking to do and also stairs to get to food. Other than that, had a good 9 hours out and the tour operator was really friendly and told us a lot of facts about the things we were seeing.
