5.00Istanbul is an incredible city to visit; the history, the people, the culture, and, oh the food. After two days of intense touring, this tour seemed to be just right for us. And, it was! I am a stickler for good communication in my business and no less a stickler for communication from tour operators. The folks at My Local Guide Istanbul did not disappoint. The day before and on the assigned day of the tour we received messages on WhatsApp. Our tour guide Salih arrived at our hotel exactly the time he promised. A very comfortable limo-type van was a great way to get around for this tour. Salih explained the upcoming day, (his English is absolutely excellent!), all the anticipated stops. I won't review the stops as they are listed for this tour. We did the cultural stops first, excellent descriptions, all questions answered, then we got to the food stops. He took us to local market areas that are not normally visited by (foreign) tourist. With Salih's engaging personality, we were laughing and sharing family stories in short order. I believe we recieved full value, if not more, for this tour. Thank you again, Salih!
