    One of the few Italian tours organized in the city at a good value for money. Great guide Emre who explains things in detail and with simplicity. Great availability also of Sare, the girl from the office who takes care of the tour management. Recommended tour to learn the history of the city, with us there was another Italian couple for a total of 4 people, so also pleasant and not distracting (as if it were a private tour). In organizational terms the only note (but which in our case did not affect that much): we were contacted a few days before on whatsapp by the agency's office to ask us to move the tour by one day. Therefore I recommend not organizing the tour on the last day you are in Istanbul to avoid surprises. Recommended

    Our guide, Emre, picked us up from our hotel to begin our walking tour. It was hot but we made good tracks and saw everything the description said we would see plus a few other things--Roman cistern. Very interesting. Emre was prompt, knowledgeable, a good sport and was able to converse in English enough to discuss the finer points of Turkish life. We stopped at a cafe for lunch, which had been predetermined. It was only adequate. While there was enough food, a three course meal, there was no choice in the menu. The food was just ok. Not being lamb eaters, the doner kebab was wasted on us. Other than that I would recommend the tour and it was worth what we paid. And the arrangements were smoothly executed.
