The day trip was fantastic. The tour guide, Yaman, was very helpful and funny. He even helped us with cash for places that only accepted cash when we only had a card, making sure our trip was stress-free. The two pools were beautiful. There could have been more breakfast options, but lunch was good. Overall, it was a very enjoyable trip.

The tour guide was excellent—funny, energetic, and extremely helpful. We had to be dropped off at a different location from where we were picked up, and he made the process smooth. The views weren’t quite as striking as the photos, as the white hills were somewhat faded, but the guide ensured it was a fantastic day.
