2 April, 2021 10.00PMCurio Travel went above and beyond for our "Seven Churches of Asia" tour. We stayed in 4 and 5-star hotels, and our tour guide (Melih) was super knowledgeable. We learned a wealth of information, had a ton of fun, and it inspired us to do more study trips. We would 100% recommend this tour company to anyone wanting to book a 7 Churches Study trip!
