“The guide’s set-up is unique as it describes the city by area. Not only pointing out the highlights but also giving background information about the area and its highlights.
Also an introduction about Turkish manners and how to get around in the city is given, as well as a
concise history of Ankara throughout the years,” the description of the guide read.
