Very knowledgeable guide. He explained everything really well. I gave 4 stars only because some of the stops were sales pitches like the rug store and the bazaar. Instead of just showing us and explaining things in the bazaar the guide took us to shops where the vendors had prepared sales pitches. We spent a lot of time in those stores. Assuming the guide gets a cut. Everything in Istanbul is a sales pitch. Other than that the historical sites were very interesting and the guide was extremely helpful in answering all the questions.
