Will we visit multiple filming locations or focus on one?

Is this tour accessible for people with mobility issues?

The tour involves walking through castle grounds and villages. Contact the operator directly to discuss any accessibility needs before booking.

Can I book this as a group or does it have to be individuals?

This is a private tour, meaning your group gets exclusive use of the minibus and guide—you can arrange it for 2 people, a family, or a larger party.

our guide Mehmet really knew their stuff and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and spot on for a couples day out, and 6 stops in about 3 hours, no joke

our guide Lucia was nice enough, but the bit at the end nobody expects felt a bit rushed honestly. Over easter break. Would only really suit you if youre not fussy, ran the full 4 hours promised. Bit disappointed ngl, mid-week so it was quiet.

our guide Yusuf had so many stories and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Last day of the trip, and did it on our first morning. Would book again no question.
