guide in Istanbul
 

Does anyone know a good private guide we can hire for 2 days to show us around Istanbul?

I would simply use the Rick Steves book on Istanbul.

Thanks I do like Rick Steve's books. I was hoping to find a private local guide so we didn't have to stay on the beaten path.

we worked with Burak Sansal last June when our daughters in-laws were here from detroit. they said he was terrific.
www.allaboutturkey.com And a good company which can supply intellectual guides is Fest Travel.

Otherchelebi - Thanks so much for your input. Have found someone highly recommended by a friend. All set.

Phony, bologna, I seek a guide that's toney.
When with only two days to spend
I'd be lucky to reach the trodden end.

we are planning trip to turkey in october.can you please share the name of your guide that your friends have great experience.
