We really enjoyed our time with the lovely Alexandra and her walk . We had only just arrived in Istanbul the day before so it was great to have her guide us on the ferry (which can be confusing for first timers) and take us around the Asian side .The views were lovely from over there and we liked the walk around the pretty village of Kucuksu.

Maybe my favorite day. I loved the pace of this walk. I loved seeing a neighborhood and being with Alexandra, who is very warm, gave me the feeling of visiting a friend in a foreign city. She really picked up on us as a group and showed us a side of the city I suspect most tourists never see. A very special experience.

Of course after two days spent discovering the historic center, the asian part might appear less exciting. But we nevertheless enjoyed the walk and the stops...Mrs Pruscha was excellent and a very pleasant person. We just wonder how it would have been with a local born guide.....
