Dilek is very nice and friendly.
She knew very well about Istanbul History.
She brought to a very good Kebab restaurant.
However Istanbul is too big for 1 day tour.
If I have a chance to come to Istanbul again, I will surely ask her to lead and tell me more about this beautiful and charming city.

Dear Dilek, thank you so much for the tour! I enjoyed it very much!!!
You not only taught me general things about Ottoman and Turkish history, but also showed me funny details (I'll never forget the carved cat in the pillar in the Haghia Sophia! ;-)
thank you also for answering so patiently all my questions about Turkish society.
I hope we can meet when I come back to Turkey!
