5.00Mustafa was funny and knowledgeable tour guide that was able to make a long and hot walking tour a lot more enjoyable. I would suggest making a disclaimer that it is a walking tour with an initial and end movements via vehicle.

5.00Wonderful afternoon and evening with our fabulous tour guide Eda who was knowledgeable, informative, friendly and spoke excellent English. Highlights were Blue Mosque and Haga Sofia which were awe inspiring and scale. Istanbul really feels like the gateway to the East and is such an interesting city. Thank you Eda and Curio Travel!
