We felt like locals walking with a friend experiencing the real Istanbul before being jaded by the more touristy sites we will encounter on the rest of our stay in this capitulating city. Can quickly assessed my photographic knowledge and picture making skills and offered suggestions accordingly. The four hour walking tour was well paced and the time passed quickly. This was the third time I booked this tour, the other two times upended by pandemic trip related cancellations. The third time was the charm. So glad we finally made it to Istanbul and this photo walk/tour will be…”

I expected the session would be cancelled / rescheduled as it does say that this activity requires good weather, so I was a quite surprised when the photographer didn't cancel or reschedule and instead confirmed my booking for that afternoon. The directions to the location were good and the building was easy to find. Whilst I felt there was a lack of choice in flying dresses to choose from (and the color I wanted was unavailable) there were lots of accessories you borrow (earings, necklaces, crowns) which was nice. It started to rain…”
