I would say this was one of the best trips I've ever taken. Brilliant itinerary - Visited 9 UNESCO Wold Heritage sites. The places we visited were truly breath taking. Fazli, the tour director/guide pulled together an amazing trip in the challenging environment during the pandemic in April 2021. He was the best, very knowledgeable and super dependable. Requests and questions before, during and after my trip were always welcomed with a courteous attitude, so called " Turkish Hospitality". He also knew the best restaurant in each place we visited which is a very important attribute as well. Everything was wonderful and hoping to come back to travel the Black sea and eastern Turkey with him in the near future. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Favzi for driving us during the trip with such a pleasant attitude and professionalism.
