We had the pleasure of taking a private tour of Istanbul and it was absolutely terrific from start to finish. Upon the arrival of our cruise ship, we were met by our tour guide Sevda who instantly made us feel welcome and at ease. Her extensive knowledge of Istanbul's history, and her love of her job, made us feel we were in capable hands. My husband is handicapped and she did her best to make sure that he was able to keep up and modified the tour to meet his needs. Everything about this tour was top-notch. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is traveling to Istanbul.
