Trip to Troy was great ! It’s a long day but it’s worth it, the itinerary was completed as planned. Good comfort, good lunch and good guide. The schedule is a very tight so if you have more availability I suggest staying 2 days, and take pictures fast because the time is short in 1 day trip. Have Fun
Thank you for choosing us for your travel arrangements. We Hope to see you in a different tour to discover Turkey together.
