Murat Demir from Eye Witness Travel done a very good job as our guide. We were very happy and enjoyed the tour despite a lot of walking. He gives very detail explanation about the tour sites. Murat made our visit not so tiring but we have fun as most of us are elderly and he follows our pace. Thank you Murat for being helpful and by the end of our visit we actually know Istanbul better.
