Fascinating relaxed tour which gave us a real sense of Istanbul. Claire was charming, so knowledgeable and gave us a real sense of the different areas within the city. We really enjoyed it.

Ebru was great - very clear communication before our walk and during our walk. I learned so much! She could answer all my questions and the walk itself was through areas that are off the "beaten track". She pointed out things on houses that I would not have seen if I'd been by myself and the neighbourhoods we visited were fascinating.

This was our second tour and day spent with Suleyman in Istanbul (he was our friend and teacher at the Topkapi Palace the prior day). It was amazing to spend two days with him and build upon all that we learned at the Palace. What made the tour fantastic was Suleyman's stories about local life in Istanbul and tying in his personal experiences to educating us on the history and culture of the city. We learned so much about Muslim life (and the lives of people practicing other religions by way of contrast) and living in Turkey by spending the day with him. Suleyman is amazing and would hope that everyone has the opportunity to spend time with him on their trip to Istanbul.
