Booked this from Gizem and had excellent communication throughout. The van was modern and spacious with air conditioning. Our guide was also friendly and fantastic, highly qualified and very knowledgeable about the history of Christianity . Highly recommended.
Thank you very much for your review. I am happy to know you and hope to see you again. :) Gizem
