The one day walking tour of Istanbul with Hasan was highly enjoyable and I would highly recommend him.
Hasan is one of the best guides in Isranbul. Not only does he have good, in depth knowledge of the history of Istanbul, he also has a good sense of humour, entertaining us during the tour. Hasan advised us correctly as to where to buy souveniors at the right prices. Hasan arranged a private cruise for us on the Bhosporous, which was the highlight of our visit.
