A stimulating yet comfortable view of real life in Istanbul

I easily was able to find the docent in front of the Spice Market but I would have felt more secure if she had had a Context name tag or official guide identification around her neck (like other official guides in Turkey do). The tour itself was interesting and I would do another Context tour in Istanbul or another city. The tour was better for the newly arrived tourists in our group. I had been in Turkey for 2-1/2 weeks so I was already familiar with some of the information she gave us. For example I had already walked through many street food markets.

It was a great tour. Nurcin was excellent - very informative and knowledgeable. She explained about the many different neighborhoods on the Asian side of Istanbul, and showed us several interesting places. She answered our questions and was so gracious about sharing all she knew with us. Thanks so much for a great tour.
