A superb tour
Catherine_G, Sept 2025
A really superb tour. Our guide, Deniz was very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm was infectious. He was very interesting and entertaining and we learnt so much. We visited 2 archaeology museums and talked about Istanbul history while travelling between the two. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this tour
