Our guide Umutcan was amazing. He had a deep understanding of the history of Istanbul and the timelines and could fill in the trip with a lot of additional information. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. Only recommendation: Plan 1 hour for the free time at the palace. 30mins was a bit of a rush. Also think of having the palace as the last item, so that one can decide to still visit the Harem afterwards without having to buy another ticket for the palace.

Très belles visites bien organisées. Nous avons eu la chance d’être seulement deux à profiter des commentaires de notre guide Hale qui nous a passionnées par ses connaissances et nous a transmis son amour pour sa ville. Une vraie journée plaisir en sa compagnie. A noter également la qualité du repas et le respect du timing.
