    Istanbul is a large and diverse city – and it was wonderful to have someone like Feruza show us around. We started our day with a tram ride from our hotel-area to the Old Town, where we descended into the sprawling Grand Bazaar and Spice Market. What an experience! Yet the best part of our time together was talking about the city and its people, sitting outdoors at a café, and getting to know each other personally. We enjoyed seeing some off-beat areas of the city, eating street food amongst the din of the vendors and the conversations of the locals, and generally walking about and taking in all the sights-n-sounds of this fantastic city. And all of this is thanks to our special host/friend, Feruza.

    Very good knowledge base of Istanbul and Turkish history. Good English. She took us to lots of different neighbours and spots via tram, ferry and metro. A great day out and we are in a much better position now to enjoy the rest of our time in Istanbul and Türkiye with the knowledge she has shared with us. Really excellent guide. Nice person. Thank you, Elif.
