Great Guide

Liesel_J, Apr 2019

This tour was totally worthwhile. My guide Ece was so knowledgeable and lovely. The mosaics in the Chora museum are quite close as the church is small so much better to see than in for example, the Hagia Sophia. I was also impressed that they did not cancel or defer the tour due to me being the only person on that tour that day. Great day!

Linda A, Aug 2016

This was a well done tour with a knowledgeable guide. We saw quite a lot. The Chora Church was a particular highlight. Our guide gave details that helped us to understand. Our inexpensive lunch was at an authentic place where everyone else was local. This was a lovely tour I will never forget and would highly recommend.
