Customer Reviews
Very professional and informative, interesting
As promised, with a great guide
We are picked up late from our hotel but the kindness and the knowledges of our guide excused it.
They need to elaborate on lunch. Could be better.
The story of Leonardo da Vinci effected me so much. In His period while he was in Istanbul he visited so much the Chora Church. The myth says Leonardo has been effected from a fresco than he painted Mona Lisa.
