Great tour. Deceptive shopping. . - The tour itself and the time spent with our tour guide certainly deserved five stars. We only give it three stars because of the piece of jewelry we bought outside of the Virgin Mary site. We realize now it is clearly a fake and ridiculously overpriced. It was the job of our tour guide to ensure that we were not taken advantage of. We were HIS responsibility. He guided us to the store and ensured us we were in good hands. We trusted him. The stone is known as Sultanate and is supposed to change color. It certainly changed color in the store. It has not changed color since we have left Turkey. I am heartbroken. And there is no recourse. Lesson learned.
