“My father in the wheelchair had such a wonderful time. The guide and the vehicle used were excellent and was very informative and helpful. He assisted with the wheelchair and was a great help for my mother. We are so happy that we found your website to arrange such a tour. My father cannot stop talking about the tour and of course the St. Sophia museum” –Andrew, Australia.
