Savas was a wonderful guide. He was attentive to any needs of my wife and I. He was careful to ask about the pace and we were able to cover a large area and even able to add stops as we were making good time. We had a wonderful day and will definitely recommend this tour to others traveling here.
Our experience was fantastic. We had a great variety of food, lot's of history, and saw parts of Istanbul that we probably wouldn't have seen but for the tour. It was just my husband and I with the guide, who was wonderful. Come hungry and expect to see and eat an incredible amount. We were in Asia and Europe, taking the ferry back and forth. We were able to shop a bit in the Spice Market too. Highly recommend this tour.
We had a wonderful time with Emre. When you go with him, make sure you bring your appetite. He met us in front of our rental apartment and showed us how to use the public transit system to get around Istanbul. Along the way, we enjoyed a lot of different local food. We highly recommend this visit for anyone wanting to explore more of Istanbul.
