Moreover, he had great people skills, and was very accommodating according to what we wanted to experience. Without a doubt he is one of the best tour guides we have ever had. Also, hats off to Viator for reaching out to us and rectifying a previous mediocre experience with another guide in Istanbul. We have used the services of Viator in the past and will continue to use them on future trips. They are easy to work with, offer a variety of great options, and are very professional.”

Fuson is very knowledgeable and moved with our personal pace.”

Enjoyed the house of Mary but was kind of disappointed we didn’t go to Saint Paul’s grave. Could’ve not have gone to the shops but I did enjoy the leather shop and the fashion show with it. The restaurant we went to was very authentic and enjoyed the atmosphere.”
