Personalized 3 Day Tour - 7 Churches

5.00I asked if a private tour of the 7 Churches of Revelation from Istanbul could be arranged while on a half day tour in Istanbul. Before the end of the half day tour in Istanbul, a personal 3 day tour of the requested was arranged for me that would begin within 48 hours. Fatih was amazing at arranging behind the scenes, as was Tijen, my guide for those 3 days. She came prepared and was very kind, improvising if I requested a quick detour or change in the plan. I highly recommend her.

5.00Tijen is not just the best guide you'll meet in Turkey but she is a friend that you can talk to. We talked about our countries, over lives and everything in between. It was one of the most joyful days of travel we had. Thank you!
