Introduced us to to a nice part of town and some tasty eats. A holiday closed a few of the places but the guide adjusted and we had a great time. Enjoyed the guide so much, we had drinks with them after the tour. Great time. The tour Really enjoyed the vibe of the businesses and restaurants, want to stay on this side of Istanbul next time we are in town.
