Very friendly, knowledgeable & informative guide; and an interesting & varied itinerary that set the scene for different aspects of Istanbul. Great local knowledge and advice, too, that set us up well for the rest of our time here. We all really enjoyed it, and had a great time with Baris.

We had a wonderful private tour guided by Isil of the Dolmabahce Palace and Bosphorus cruise. She was punctual in picking us up at our hotel. She was knowledgeable about Istanbul and its history. She even helped us find some local foods that we wanted to try. Highly recommended.
