Best Istanbul experience, period

First, our guide Akgul (J) showed up sharp on time for our agreed pick up time. From that moment we felt the tour was on!! We went to all the major landmarks in Istanbul with in depth explanations, nothing left out. Afterwards he recommended a restaurant that we would never have gone and WOW!!! What a great selection. A true Turkish spot. Everything we did was absolutely perfect . If you want to truly see Istanbul, get this tour.
