Ebru was a great guide - friendly and knowledgeable and endlessly full of asides about Istanbul. There were only 4 of us, so it felt like going out with a group of friends rather than a tour group. We lost track of the time and took quite a bit longer to finish our tour than we expected, but we were thankful for it. More than Istanbul's Asian side, I felt this tour was about the history of minority religions in the city and their interaction over the centuries. Fascinating insight.

Claire informed us about all sorts of subjects and was very knowledgeable and nice. Answered all our questions.

The meeting point was very easy and centrally located. We appreciated that Claire kindly paid for our boat and bus usage during the tour. Docent Claire Caraz was excellent. She gave us great insight into the city, its history and general layout. The walk took us to places we probably would not have explored on our own. A highlight was the visit to the Armenian church, which doesn't appear to be open to the general public. We enjoyed our time with Claire very much. Her depth of knowledge of the subject matter was incredible.
