Everything was very bad and false.

This advertisement is false. It is not private; it is in a group. The guide Ozcar speaks very poor Spanish. The guide says that it is impossible to complete the entire tour in one day or within the 7 to 9 hours that were contracted. The agency says that it is done on the boat, not on land, but the Galata Tower is on land. Everything was very bad.
