A lot of standing in front of buildings/churches on this one. I would really like to see some focus on literary/artistic persons within the neighborhoods that we visited. did any scientists live in the area, what about writers or artists?

This was our first walk and we enjoyed it very much. again, a lot of information and perhaps something written as an adjunct would help. Again, the website needs to be updated I think because we did not "retire to the historical Pierre Loti coffee house overlooking the Golden Horn for mint tea or Turkish coffee, before we take the ferry back to Eminonu along the Golden Horn." This may have to do with changes in the ferry system but we were disappointed to no end this way. Louis, however, went out of his way to end the tour in a different way.

Three of us would give this tour a very high rating; one thought there was too much walking through areas of little interest, but the rest of us disagree. Claire not only gave us an outstanding tour, but also provided good advice for the rest of our visit.
