What an amazing way to explore the historical parts of Istanbul and hear about the rich and unique history that comes with it. Cihan did a superb job in giving... read more us so much information and detail that otherwise would’ve been very difficult to find! The day went by so fast and that goes to show how engaging and fascinating every aspect of it was.
