“Our guide Tulaye,was amazing. First of all we were lucky to be have her only to our self. No group! She professionally guided us from mosque to mosque, explained history. Invited for tea and explained a bit about history of Islam,which helped even better understand this beautiful country. she also covered our tram tickets,so we don't need to walk distance between mosques!
