August 2024 in Istanbul - We had an unforgettable experience during our short stay in Istanbul. Emre, our exceptional Guide, has proved both passionate and of great humanity. Thanks to him, we were immersed in fascinating accounts of the history of Byzantium, Constantinople and the Ottoman Empire. He introduced us to emblematic monuments such as the majestic Hagia Sophia, the Topkapı Palace, as well as the magnificent Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet). A huge thank you to Emre for this enriching and captivating visit. Naš boravak u Istanbulu bio je zaista nezaboravan. Emre je fantastičan vodič, pun strasti i izuzetno ljubazan. Zahvaljući njemu, uronili smo u bogatu historiju Bizanta, Konstantinopolja i Osmanskog carstva. Posjetili smo predivne znamenitosti poput Aje Sofije, palate Topkapi i veličanstvene Plave džamije (Sultanahmet). Veliko hvala Emreu na ovom nevjerovatnom iskustvu koje je obogatilo naš boravak.

Tour out of main tourist spots - We asked the guide to bring us out of the main tourist drags, which he did. He provided good comments, he was mindful of our pace (I take time to get the right picture). Very professional
