    Well planned trip and good tour guide in Istanbul. It was a well arranged Istanbul day trip from start to finish. The tour guides were very knowledgeable in middle east history and Turkey and have been very helpful for our inquiries, so we really enjoyed our excursion every day. Also, the contact person from the agency was very responsible for the arrangement of our trips. Generally, all was very good.

    Spectacular Istanbul is eye candy for photographers, historians, and travelers… The picturesque nature of this fabulous city of 16 million people remains vivid regardless of the season, month, or weather. There is a lot to see in all good ways. You need to walk too much and commit to cobblestone streets and hilly ups and downs, but few cities in the world rival that one for history, diversity, and eye appeal. Truly one of the world’s major cities, Istanbul offers more than most will never be able to wrap their arms around. It is more than worth the money to get a professional local guide (small group) to show you around. The Istanbul traffic is too rough and the city too big to try and figure it out on your own. Maximize your travel time by leaning on a top-notch guide to usher you around. Well worth the money.
