“The best thing about personal one on one tours is the comfortability of being able to ask questions or have something explained again. Erdam was great, very knowledgeable and gave us that personal look at how a tour guide/s operate. His pace was comfortable and we managed to see everything in a half day which was perfect, allowing the afternoon at leisure. He was great about us missing visiting a craftsman as we had already experienced this style of shopping a few times during our trip. I highly recommend this package.”
