The docent's knowledge and ability to convey Turkish history were superb.

Our tour was just three people, very personalised and great to tailor it to our own interests.

Although Melike knew a lot about the palace, she seemed irritated by some of our questions and often said - "Wait! We'll talk about that later." That felt off-putting. And we sometimes felt she disdained us. For those of us really interested already, her tour was engaging but she didn't work very hard to make it interesting for all of us.
