Muy serios y muy recomendable

Fantastic Istanbul

28-Feb-2020

The Tour with Met was very informative, well structured, and fun. We appreciated Met's way of explaining complex historical events or cultural details in a very easy way. Thank you again for this. I recommend to slightly shorten the tour (as it seems to be longer than the mentioned 7 h) by reducing the nr. of shops or shopping opportunities in the afternoon. Overall I didn't expect to learn so many new things on my 2nd visit of Topkapi, Aya Sophia or the Blue Mosque.

Great intro to Istanbul. The Guide Baris was exceptional. Lots of walking and talking. Small group means easy of getting around and easy to ask questions. Highly Reccommended

Visita molto bella, la guida molto brava, peccato che per il giorno prenotato la moschea blu era chiusa. La guida, molto brava, ha sopperito a questo facendoci vedere altro
