Turkey has been amazing, like most structures though out your beautiful country, the Basilica Cistern did not disappoint. The sheer scale is monumental, thank you for preserving it and allowing us to experience it. Only one criticism, I think you do with out the art displayed in it, the Cistern is art enough. Thank you it made my stay. With Love and Light. The Napier's.

The audio-guided tour in Spanish was excellent. We had no trouble hearing the audio, and the recordings were very interesting. Having a good narration definitely enhances the experience.

I had an incredible dinner on a cruise last night. It lasted for three hours, and every moment was magical. The food was exquisite, and the atmosphere was just perfect. There was even a live show during the meal, with music and dance, which made the evening so much more special

The cruise was excellent! Nur and the other guy (I can't remember his name) were very attentive the whole time. The snacks were more than enough—cookies, baklava, nuts, fruit, and juice. The sunset was incredible, and the guide's explanations were great! Highly recommended

It was really beautiful. The guide took the time to explain everything to us—it was Yacoub. I really have nothing but praise. Thanks again.

It was a wonderful ceremony; I was completely immersed in a very spiritual atmosphere. The chants, the dancing, and everything else that goes into the ritual were beautiful. All of us in the audience were spellbound by the artists’ mastery.

A truly impressive and spiritual experience. The whirling dervishes and the Sufi dance were fascinating to watch and created a special, almost meditative atmosphere. The organization and flow were good, though it’s worth noting that this is more of a quiet, cultural performance than a traditional “show.” Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in culture and spirituality.

The crew was courteous and helpful, the boat was comfortable and reserved exclusively for us, and the transfer was punctual and courteous. A wonderful experience.
