Definitely worth having... - Definitely worth having the tour guide for the cruise! Kerem was our guide and he was very informative and personable. It is on a public cruise so there are lots of other people around but we didn't have any problems hearing!

Great tour with Metin - Metin was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the residences and cultural sites we saw from the boat. Very enthusiastic and entertaining. The boat trip would not have been as interesting without him.
