Review Submitted 25 June 2024
Had heard about Mardin being an underrated gem and I was not disappointed. While searching for tours to Mardin, iLink Turkey immediately caught my eye. They guided us very courteously throughout the journey and gave us more time in places we had lots of interest in. The food was outstanding and delicious in the bazaars. We spent a lot of time taking a look at the different spices and other fascinating things, etc. and ate Urfa’s famous butter in the bazaars.
