The day trip was very good, saw many nice places and learned a lot. Mustafa was helpful and explained well. Only reason for stars is that the schedule was a bit tight sometimes but overall worth it.

This was okay. Aslan, our guide, was friendly and made jokes that lightened up the mood. The accommodation was good and food pretty tasty. A bit tiring but worth it if you wanna see more in less time.
