Smooth experience - Generally good experience mainly attributed to the tour guide who is very helpful throughout the entire journey and superb in her explanation at sites. Travel itinerary wise, the day ended by late afternoon which was pretty short, likely due to the winter season. We were allocated a different accommodation from the one we booked online and require a lot of proactivity on our part to know who to look for and what time to wait for pickup to and fro from Istanbul. Nonetheless, people were responsive when we reached out for help.
