Over zealous and aggressive vendors!

I had high expectations for Istanbul, and they were met. The city is enormous and full of interesting history. We visited a lot of sights and my only complaint was that the "all day" tours weren't available for english speaking guests. With only a half day, I didn't get to see everything I wanted, but was impressed with what I had time for.

Only enough time to know that more is needed. Great food and beautiful array of historic sties to visit. Some people love the bazaar. Learned about rugs under some duress. Coming away empty handed feels like a victory.

OMG, what a beautiful city with friendly people. Be ready to say "No" a lot at the Grand Bizarre as the sellers tend to entice you in to their shops with tea and demos.

bring toilet paper with you. Eat kebabs from the little restaurants on side streets, it was amazing.

Couldve been better hallf the sites were closed one day and the other half closed the other day but no one told us about this so we didnt plan accordingly and missed some stuff. plan to spend at least half a day or more at the grand bazaar. Maybe take in a turkish bath, awkward at first but its an experience.

Rented a taxi and visited the Mosque and museum and spent hours in the Bazaar = very fun but MUCH MORE expensive than expected. The view of the harbour when leaving port was magical.

I did not like the idea that our tour guide tried to rush us so that he could take us to experience the carpet maker hoping that we would buy the carpet and he would receive the commission.
