    A fantastic way to learn about Istanbul's history. The Topkapi Palace is spectacular, and the Harem tour offered a unique perspective on the sultans. The guide was great.

    I loved the tour, but I felt it was a bit too short. The Topkapi Palace and Harem were incredible, but I would have appreciated a slower pace, especially in the Sacred Relics sectio
