5.00We recently did a cruise in the Med and I booked an excursion for Instanbul called Istanbul Delight - Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. This was with a well known trip provider who use Curio Travel. I've got to say that our four hour tour was a fantastic tour, good value for money and our Guide, Emel was absolutely superb. If you are lucky enough to get her then you won't be disappointed. Her knowledge, friendliness and enthusiasm were exceptional. Because we were a small group we also had time to visit the Basilica Cistern. This was a specific recommendation that Emel made and was well worthwhile. Our small group all agreed that Istanbul was the highlight of the cruise and a large part of this was down to our wonderful Guide.
