Claire was amazing! We truly appreciate her sharing her extensive knowledge and great love for this vibrant city. She immediately felt like a best friend welcoming us to her adopted home. We loved her stories and interesting little facts that brought history and art to life for us, and although our Istanbul visit was very short, we felt like we really got a feel for the city in our 3 hours with Claire. Exceptional tour and expert guide!
We did this tour on our first day in Istanbul and it really helped us to get a lot more out of our visit. We saw some beautiful mosques and Melike explained the neighbourhoods, the artistic signifixance and the history very well. We had a fabulous time.
