This was a fun trip. We didn't get any food, just tea, so I'd recommend bringing some on board. There's a one hour stop at a leather shop on the Asian side where my friends and I all bought leather jackets. There's probably a deal between guide and shop, but feel free to go somewhere else if you want. We got some quick food at a coffee shop before going back on board. For $4 it was a good trip. The gps for pickup was in the right spot

Rauf was so kind directing us where to find meeting point. We were a bit late but they waited for us. The trip was very informative even if its cold winter inside the boat is warm and can purchase food and hot drinks!
