Another beautiful day in Istanbul
Published on Feb, 2020
Besides the fact that Istanbul is one of my favourite, most beautiful cities in the world, I thoroughly enjoyed this day trip.
Great Guide
Published on 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!
