Thanks to Mere for arranging this incredible tour. Everything went smoothly from the punctual hotel pickup to the well kept stables. After we arrived, we were given helmets and hair covers before heading out in a small group guided by two staff members. The route was scenic and the pace just right. There were some challenging parts, but our guide Mert was extremely helpful, attentive, and patient throughout. At the end of the ride, we were treated to a cold drink and a place to rinse off. Even in late October, the weather was perfect just remember your sunglasses. This was my second time doing this tour, and it was just as impressive as the first.
