Unfortunately tookapi palace was closed, so instead Denis our guide took us to Dlomabahce palace instead. It was a beautiful palace full of historical artifacts and furnishings. Denis was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour of the palaces public spaces and harem. Pickup was perfect right at the port. Vehicle was a custom limo.
