The views in Istanbul is amazing. Although we had limited time, we saw the diversified faces of Istanbul, including old and modern parts of the city. Thanks for our tour guide-Tanju. He led us to know the city by walk, train, taxi and ferry. Most important, he is familiar with the history of Istanbul and always have way to make everything smoothly. We are very happy to have this travel.
