Very informative and interesting tour Our guide was very proficient in English, knowledgeable about the history and customs. He was able to answer all our questions and was patient while we went through the museum and gift shop. The only complaint was that when I called to inquire about the transportation I was told we would be picked up at the hotel and dropped off after the tour . We were picked up in time but after the tour we were told we would have to find our own transportation back to the hotel. That was somewhat a challenge. Our guide said he would talk to the company in the US because return transportation was not included as part of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour!

Insight into Jewish Istanbul

Our guide was very knowledgable and good company. Despite some steep walking it was manageable. The time went quickly as we visited synagogues and learnt about the Jewish community in Istanbul past and present. We would thoroughly recommend this tour if you want to find out more about this fascinating city.

Interesting slice of history

Sanem was my guide & she is very knowledgeable & enthusiastic about her subject. We visited the Ashkenazi synagogue, but walked past many other notable buildings & synagogues, as well as the beautiful Kamodo steps. Sanem gave a taste of many aspects os Jewish life & history, making it informative & balanced. Just a note, which was my mistake. It says that transportation is included & mentions hotel pick up, so I assumed that I would be dropped off at my hotel. It wasn't a problem as the tour finished at the Museum, so I was able to take my time. If you have time, or have been to Istanbul before & have already seen the main sights (as I have), this is definitely worthwhile.
