Our day tour in Istanbul would not have been half as exciting if we did not have a tour guide as experienced and friendly as Mr. Barish Ozkalkan. It is not possible to completely explore Hgia Sophia, Blue Mosque, the Palace, Hippodrome and the Bazar without a helpful tour guide who knows everything about the place and the history behind it. We were very lucky to have someone like him who was so knowledgeable. Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for being such a great tour operator and sending us a wonderful tour guide. You and this trip will be etched out in our memories forever. Thank you again. Krishna
