Excellent private tour of Istanbul with wonderful Tour guide. - We were picked up by our driver Sheriff who was lovely and our Tour guide Tercan, who was a lovely friendly young lady. She made the whole day a really great experience. We had planned a customised tour itinerary together, before we left the UK, of all the major city sights to see - Topkapi, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, Suleyman Mosque and burial ground and both him and his wife Hurrem, which I found great as a prolific Magnificent Century viewer. We had lunch out at a typical local restaurant and had our photos taken in national costume which were lovely and a great momento.
We would all thoroughly recommend Tercan as a guide. She was attentive, very knowledgeable of the history of Istanbul, and nothing was too much trouble for her. We had a wonderful over 8 hour day, which our group of 5 will always remember.
