Private Local Tour Guide Istanbul

Jenny_M, Jul 2024
Informative, fun and a really interesting tour of the main attractions of Istanbul. Our Private Local Tour Guide Huseiyn kept us expertly away from the masses and his knowledge of Turkish history was amazing. We all learnt so much and the Tour is a highlight of our holiday here in Turkey. Highly recommend and if you’re looking to have lunch during the Tour this guy knows the spot!!! Thank you Huseiyn…..
