Great to see some alternative areas of Istanbul to the tourist areas. I think considering the simplicity of the tour the pricing was perhaps a bit high. The docent was excellent and it was an added bonus to speak with and learn from someone who had lived in Istanbul for many years as well as a history in North America. We enjoyed her very much.

We got little historical context--hence you ne didn't support this tour. We got a good restaurant recommendation and she had an interesting point of view. Not worth the money. I have used context in Rome and Paris and both programs were superior to these.

A bit skimpy on content. The docent could have made a better effort to include all participants in her talks. Since this was a walking tour of 6 people, we were not always gathered in one place when the docent shared information. We liked the concept of the tour--exploring the Asian side and introducing us to the passenger ferries (as opposed to the tourist hop-on-and-off tours).
