Trés bonne impression du guide. Malgré l'impossibilité de visiter Sainte Sophie et la Mosquée Bleue à cause de l'affluence et du manque de temps. Visite à prévoir sur 2 jours.
Véhicule peut être pas nécessaire car trés peu utilisé étant donné les difficultés de circulation. Préférable d'utiliser la prochaine fois le tramway pour se rendre sur le site à visiter.

Cicek (her name means flower) guided my son and me on a wonderful one day introduction to Istanbul. We really appreciated the balance of information, history and insight into current and past Turkish life. Really appreciated the advice on getting around – she introduced us to the Istanbul card and the tram system which we used a lot in the following two days. We would really recommend her and the tour.
