Diana was the most fabulous tour guide. She took our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 teenage daughters) to see all the gorgeous sights of Istanbul and several hidden gems. We saw three mosques, toured an art school, had lunch at Saltbae’s restaurant, walked through the hippodrome and viewed a few exhibits, she took us to a hidden rooftop cafe for Turkish coffee and tea and then read our fortunes on the grounds. We shopped at the Grand Bazaar and she helped to negotiate our purchases. She was so knowledgeable about the city, art and its history. She was nothing short of amazing and she truly made our day in Istanbul special. When your three teenagers love her, you know you are on to something special. We were there on a Tuesday when the palace is closed so we were unable to tour it, but she still showed us as much as she could. She seemed to know everyone in the city and grew up there. 10 Stars!
