Reviews
Review for: Private walking tour without transportation
Can was very friendly and came punctually. We did the walking tour and we chatted a lot along the way, exchanging ideas and culture differences. He was very experienced and we didn’t have to rush throughout the walking trip. Will look him up again during next trip in Istanbul
