Shops and food experience - Sel was by far the best guide we have ever had in our last 12 years of international travel.
Sel took time before starting to sit down and get to know us and what our expectations were that we wanted for the day and then together we planned our day.
The expertise and knowledge that was shared by Sel in a very mild and pleasant way was outstanding and Sel spoken English is as good as ours..
The non pressure of the casual shopping that Sel took us to was excellent and we received great Value in our purchases. The late luncheon of of a very Turkish meal in a Michelin star restaurant was the best of authentic Turkish foods
We very very highly recommend you choose Sel for your tours of Istanbul
Everything was a 5 out of 5 .
And to you Sel we cannot Thank you enough for all the knowledge of the city that you have passed on to us to remember our visit by it is you that made it special
