We had a phenomenal time with Ihsan, seeing the Grand Bazaar rooftop walk, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, and Basilica Cistern! He was so knowledgeable about each site, along with general background about Istanbul. He was incredibly nice and fun as well- and was great at anticipating how much or how little we wanted to drill down into any given historical topic. I would highly recommend booking a tour!
