The private tour was wonderful, Oguzhan our tourist guide was excellent, he was punctual, consider it, experienced, dominated the English language and very knowledgeable of the history and site being toured. At the beginning I was concerned of the pickup location, I contacted Karavan Tours, and they provided a clear precise pickup location the "Clock Tower" @ the Galata new port as it is a big port with may gates, outlets and a large drop-off and pickup underground. The tour palace was spectacular, and the early arrival really helped avoid the crowds. Both Oguzhan and Karavan Tours I would highly recommend.
