Beautiful experience, well organized and with a kind, friendly and passionate guide! Definitely worth the price of the ticket. Plus you skip the queue for access to the sites, something not to be overlooked especially during the hottest times of the year.

It was an amazing experience and the best part was our guide Ms Buse. She was so thorough with the history of the places we visited with her and gave us all the details even if they were small. She was very courteous and understanding as we had a toddler with us.

The mosques were cool. The best part was our guide, Hal. Very knowledgeable and personable. It's always fun to talk classic rock while touring historical sites.

This walking tour in Turley was the absolute highlight of our vacation. Our guide was highly knowledgeable, he told us the most important details and it was very pleasent. I'd recommend wearing walking shoes because there's a lot to walk.

The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we had a great tour. One tourist didn't see us at the meeting point half way through and yelled at the guide saying he hadn't shown up, but the guide did show up, he was there and so were the other tourists in the group, just this one man didn't see us and walked away. It wasn't the guide's fault, he waited for the man to come back but then had to carry on with the tour for the rest of us.

It's not that I had problems, I just wasn't enthusiastic about the experience. Although the guide was nice and I think he knew about art history, he was not very enthusiastic and conveyed it that way. Regarding "skipping the queues" it is not true at all. You only skip the one at the cistern. I think you get more out of it if you are very interested in art, which is the point of view from which it was approached.
