Whilst the place visited was very interesting, the tour itself I felt lacked content and seemed a little random. The docent, whilst alright, was not able to fully answer questions about certain historical events and I found her to be a little verbose in what she explained/answered.

Everything was perfect. We like to walk and Ms. Karaz walked with us. On the way she asked if we were interested in ... and .... We said yes and so she customized the walk. There was no arrogance often seen with professional tour guides or a loud and shouting voice. The tour was made for us and gave us a lot of information that we missed when beeing on our own the days before. We had already seen the main highlights of Istanbul. The tour with Ms. Karaz has given us the details, the inside view. We would always recommend such a tour to friends visiting Istanbul.

Our docent was very nice, punctual and knowledgable. However the tour we took was a bit disappointing. In particular, we were shown 3 or 4 historical religious sites but could not gain entry to them, which was frustrating. These sites were one of the potentially interesting parts of the tour but we thought that the tour seemed a little pointless without permission to see inside - we just looked at the exterior from the street, which was not that informative. Perhaps in future permission to gain entry could be ascertained prior to the walk.
