Love this tour will do it again in the future thanks to costsaver and affordable tours my agent Dana
I had an amazing experience. I highly recommend visiting Turkey. It is a beautiful country with beautiful landscapes and so much history. I will definitely use Affordable Tours / Cost Savers again in the future. The Itinerary was very well planned and thought out. For the price we paid, I cannot complain about anything. The rooms were clean, there was plenty of food available for breakfast and dinners, we had an excellent driver and tour/local guide - what more can I ask for.
