                                    Our tour was great!  Our guide Mahmet was wonderful.  He was so 
knowledgeable of Istanbul from the city/country history, the religions 
and the sights.  Our private tour gave us the flexibility to spend time 
where we wanted and ask questions.  The tour was a mixture of seeing the
 sights and spending a little quite time over to tea to talk and receive
 an overview of what we were seeing.  Mahmet was also kind enough to 
help us with reservations for a Turkish Bath near the Blue Mosque and a 
little detour to do some shopping.  The tour ended with being dropped 
off at a recommended restaurant that was a perfect end to the day.
