“The guide Leyla was truly excellent, highly knowledgeable but delightful with it. We were picked up from our hotel and as this was a private tour it was tailor made to our specific requirements. I had a skiing accident recently and was walking with a stick and she ensured everything was manageable and we really got the best out of our day. The driver was great too negotiating the terrible Istanbul traffic and very attentive👍.Everything worked superbly. Highly recommended.”
