The Istiklal Street Tour with Suleyman was a great way to start our visit to Istanbul. This was our first Istanbul tour and all five of us were dealing with jet lag of either a 9 or 10 hour time difference. Thus, a casual walk down Istiklal Street with Suleyman who was so knowledgeable of the history was a great start. The tour had a great finish with a refreshment stop at a roof top terrace giving us a great view of all of Istanbul.

The best part of our trip was the tour with Suleyman. He was polite, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and very cultured. He shared so much information with us about Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Cistern. We talked about many things, especially history, and truly enjoyed the conversation. He was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. Worth every penny!

We had a great day and discovered so much. Our guide was excellent . I was a little annoyed after paying for the tour we had to still pay for tickets to the cistern. The guide could jump the line but I would have thought that was included? !
