Reviews

As a photographer, something I really like about Sirin is she listens to what I wanted - like going to places where I can get the best photos - or avoiding an accessive amount of walking - and she tailored the tour accordingly. In the last 40 years, I have visited 185 countries (almost always with a private guide) and I can truly say that in all that time, there is not a single guide that I would rank as superior as Sirin. I would definitely give her a 5-star - if there are 6 stars I would give her that.
