I did my trip to Istanbul with Ticket For Tourists. Through them we took museum notes and a tour. Our English speaking guide was really very good and explained everything clearly and interestingly. The service was top notch and it is a very professional organization. If I go to Istanbul again, I would definitely choose them again. Thank you Typhoon Bey!
