Best experience of our trip – Intelligent and entertaining!
Ali started out as our private tour guide and ended up as our friend. We were traveling with with our 2 adult (mid 20’s) children, and he nimbly took us through the old city, the bazaar and all the sites we were most interested in, and managed to meet everyone’s personal interests. His deep knowledge of history, politics, and global religions plus and story telling talent brought Instanbul to life for all fo us… We will return to Istanbul and be sure to contact Ali when we do.
