Highlight of my trip
The tour exceeded my expectations, and our tour guide, Essen, was exceptional. She was friendly with the vendors, extremely knowledgeable about Turkish history and knew every nook and cranny of the Bazaar, she was interesting and funny, and I would book another tour with her in a heartbeat. Was a highlight of my trip to Istanbul.
