Istanbul and churches of revelation

05-Dec-2019

the experience was good, short number of assistants, good knowledge of the guide and the places were excellent I just recommend to clarify the start time and place, it took for me several min to find the guide

wel combined tour

17-Apr-2020

Our guide Chiidam was brilliant. She showed us the most important historical places such as the blue mosque, Hagia Sofia Museum, and Topkapi palace at a leisurely pace. She explained the significance of the places in Byzantine and Ottoman history. She was able to relate to all members of our small group. I would highly recommend the small group historical tour. As all the places are within walking distance of each other we never felt tired. Airport transfers were on time, Ephesus was our favorite place. Must do

Suzi

Well done

20-Mar-2019

Tour guide very informative and friendly. Lunch was not great, food tasteless, rushed service, also doesn’t help your energy for the afternoon. Would have been nice for a longer time as grand bazaar. Driving around Istanbul is crazy lots of traffic and tight gaps. Not worth the money paid. Would have gone alone and been more value for money.
