    Guided Istanbul Tours, did a great job, in planning and organising our tour. Very professional and disciplined in their job. Very helpful too to our needs and requirements. The tour itself was awesome and wonderful. The guides were very knowledgeable and explained in detail about history and geography of each location ??
