Toghrul guide and his wonders! - We had the best trip ever..only due to Toghrul. He kept us and the kids entertained throughout the trip. There was never a dull moment because of him. Trivia, fun facts and his jokes ensured the journey was full of laughter. History was explained in a very detailed manner. Showed us lot of nice places along the way and was accommodative. We wanted him for our other trips as well but were unfortunate as the agency had other clients for him to attend. Request for him..he’s the best!!! Overall a great trip!
