“Wow! Such an awesome experience. My family and I were taking a cruise and decided to book with Viator instead of the cruise line. First because it was less expensive and second, it was a private tour. Our tour guide Bugra, who now we consider family, was above and beyond expiations. He gave us such an amazing complete custom tour of each site. You could really feel the passion and pride he has for home. Each place we visited he strategically planned based on what our needs were to give us the most ultimate experience. That takes talent. Thank you so much Bugra for giving myself and family such amazing…”

“The tour was exceptional and is a must see at least once in your lifetime to see the awe the of the monks built these monasteries on top of the mountain cliffs. Make sure you bring 5 euros cash per person for each monastery you visit and they do provide garments so you can cover yourself appropriately for free. At the most to pay to go into the monasteries two is the max after that they are al about the same.

“Initially we were quite concerned when we got to the meeting place. There was no sign whatsoever and our names did not appear on any card. A man came up to us and was looking at my phone over my shoulder and said our guide was there and then phoned someone. We were asked to follow him. We were quite reluctant to do so. When we met up with the tour guide, he was not wearing anything to identify himself as being a Viator guide either but he did have our booking with our name and number on his phone.
