Estambul en español/ historical tour of Istambul/

The tour day with Apo was amazing; he was an incredible and very knowledgeable guide showing us all the small details and insights that one usually misses when visiting a touristic site for the first time. The tour was filled with his historical, religious and philosophical knowledge that made it even more interesting. Our tour was in Spanish and with a group of family of all ages and Apo was very accommodating with us. He treated us to a very local and personalized city tour that all of our group enjoyed greatly. Memories that we will cherish for life. Would repeat every time I visit Istambul, 100%.
