Baris was great! There was no question he couldn't answer. (He majored in history!) Travelers do need to know that even though a luxury van is mentioned, there is very little riding in the van. This is mostly a WALKING tour. It was a full day. I felt like I had been "everywhere" by the end of the day. Exhausted but in a good way and full of new knowledge.

Having prepared nothing before arriving, I booked this excursion at the last minute. Despite a hotel on the outskirts of the center, the mini bus took me and brought me back to the hotel. I myself work in tourism and I was very pleasantly surprised by the professionalism and the attentions of the Guide Baris. After 15 years of exercise he is not tired of telling us the story with very good English. Road traffic was extremely busy, however the guide tries to manage and regularly advises us on things to do or avoid. We also had several moments of freedom (among others in the Grand Bazaar). This day seduced me which then allowed me to venture alone. We also eat well. The group was dynamic by luck. Thank you.

Our guide was very informative on the sites we visited but unfortunately some people don’t respect the times that you are given to see the sites and had a problem waiting for people .The food was average and I must say there is a bit of walking as you have to cover quite a bit of ground especially in the Palace
