Emre was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and eager to share every little detail. He even stayed longer to show us everything. Even though it was a cold day, he made the tour that much more enjoyable for my mom and I, answered all the questions and gave us all the information. I HIGHLY recommend booking a tour with him, we had the best time!!
Our guide was fantastic, gave a really clear and interesting tour into the life of the Sultans and their wives. He answered all questions really well, great tour!
