Excellent

Ezgi and our driver Camil provided use an exceptional tour of the beautiful city of Istanbul. Ezgi has a superb knowledge of the city and culture. I would recommend her as a guide to anyone visiting. My husband is handicap and Camil took excellent care of him and his scooter. We had a group of six and also were provided time for food and shopping, delivering us safely back to the port.
