Our guide was amazing, spoke English and explained many things . I wish I had his name to praise him to you as he was the best tour guide taking us through the Blue Mosque, the Underground Cisterns, and Hagia Sofia.

Our guide was excellent; unfortunately, I didn't catch her name. She was very generous and gave us a lot of information about the history of the places we visited, and the way of life in Turkey. Not to mention that the places were beautiful. If she ever reads this comment, she called us the "Gauvin Ladies". Thanks to your organization!
