We had the most memorable and enjoyable day seeing Istabul with our lovely guide, Mev. She made us feel welcome and was very knowledgable. Besides the amazing sights, Mev took us to the THE best Turkish breakfast spot which was one of the best meals we have ever had! What a day! I highly recommend this excursion to anyone with a few hours in the city.
