This tour was ok but I would like to add another point to be more interesting this tour. The guide was acknowledged
Had a great guide and driver. Were able to see all the highlights of this city from the ruins to the castle to the bazaar. A great way to spend a half day.
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable and had a great sense of humor
A great guide who was very informative but felt the tour did not provide enough of an insight into Izmir.
generally Ok but not really a must do.
Suggest people take this tour early in their visit to Izmir. I had seen the sites included on this brief tour on my own already and the guide did not add much to what I knew already.
