If your idea is to walk around at sunset and take beautiful pictures this is your tour. This is not a tour for people who loves history and loves detailed information of the places you are visiting. We were just us so he was kind enough to cater the route to what we havent seen of the city so far but lacked lots of historical information, at some point we were on wikipedia on our phones searching on our own. BUT, he is a Very friendly guy but he is not from a tour company like the other tours around, nonetheless he was very nice and even called from his phone a hamam to make sure it was open when we decided to cut the tour short and continue on our own. I think he would be a great person to go to the bazaars with you and show you parts of the city you won’t see at a tour, just our humble opinion.
