We had one day in Istanbul on our way elsewhere and we are so glad we did this tour. Our guide, Kahraman, was brilliant. He was extremely knowledgeable and, when he found out I was a historian, suggested we change our itinerary to include a visit to the underground cisterns- really glad we did this, it was fascinating. What we enjoyed most was Kahraman’s attention to detail- pointing out things in (for example) the Hagia Sophia that we would have struggled to spit ourselves. Can not recommend enough

Our guide Sibel was marvellous. She really brought the city alive for us and the depth of her knowledge really enhanced our wonderful day. I was impressed with her grasp of English and the way she described and explained things. Sibel went the extra mile for us and stayed with us till very late to ensure that our day will remain a day to remember.
