Excellent Guide; Punctual and well-run Tour - The Topkapi Palace & Harem is a vast complex. I can't imagine just "wandering around" and having anything like the experience we had with our guide, Timur. Speaking impeccable English, he provided very fact-based explanations of many aspects of the architecture and activities of the Palace & Harem. Any question he received, he was able to answer with additional facts and anecdotes. Highly recommended.
