Symphony Travel

At first, everything seems nice. You get a decent tour, some edible food. The problems start with the tour guides taking you to all sort of places that sell fake stuff way overpriced. During our Pamukkale trip, we were taken to Dogan onyx factory and only later on, when having Internet access, it appears to be a well know scam. The same with the trip to Ephesus. You are taken to a ceramics workshop where you can buy beautiful ceramics 50% off and they tell you that only there you get the authentic stuff, everywhere else is made in China. Don't get fooled. Seems like all the tour guides and the travel agency itself is in business with these scammers and this is not acceptable. I would expect that no reputable company would try to scam their clients. You are treated everywhere like you are a walking sack of money. They play on your emotions, saying that pandemic was difficult and thats why the prices are now lower...in fact they are still at least 10 times higher than they should be. Take the tour but make sure not to buy anything anywhere that they recommend.
