I have a 23 year old daughter who wants to visit Istanbul and loves languages, but I want it to be a birthday present. Can I make the booking in her name and put my email address so that I receive all the information?
“Of course, no problem. The important thing is that the personal details (name and surname, age, language level...) are those of the person who is going to do the course. If you enter your email address, you will receive all the information and confirmation of the booking.”
