The use of personal guides was extremely rewarding and made the experience that much more enjoyable. The personal touch provided, learning about their lives, the flexibility they provided, and their knowledge not just of the area but also of local conditions all added to our experience. Having free time at the end of each day was also a plus for us as it allowed us to do a little exploring. The grandkids sure liked climbing around the Cappadocia fairy chimneys and caves.
We will have so many memories that will last the rest of our lives.
