İstanbul private guiding service
Such a beautiful soul!
We went to Hagia Sophia and right before walking up to the extremely long line, we were stopped by Karie and asked if we wanted a private tour. At first we were hesitant, but quickly warmed up to him. Kadir was so informative! He was so passionate about his beautiful country and its rich history. Such an amazing gem of a human!
