Couple Traveller

We booked this trip as it was the second time we visited Turkey. We already saw Cappadocia. The trip gave us the opportunity to visit more Istambul and Ephesus and Pamukale and it was just absolutely remarkable. Both guides in Turkey and Greece were great and provided us great information on each site that we visited but perhaps more importantly for me she offered information on Greek life and the Greek people that was not available in the guide books.
My wife and I were happy on this trip.
