l've just come back from a 4 day break to Istanbul. Calling myself a bit of a baker, l was attracted to a TravelZoo offer ''Culinary Walking Tour Of Old Istanbul'' 104 pounds (inc 23k bag in hold, meal/drinks) l booked it there and then ! My first visit to Turkey,l ventured off, eyes wide open! The instant Karma was immediately evident. Not a crossed word was heard all the time l was there. l never saw a child cry, just holding hands with their parents, laughing and always smiling. l didnt need to cue up for the 'essential sites'..just being amongst these seemingly peaceful people, was magical for me !lt's definately true what they say..lt's not where you have chosen to go for a holiday, thatmakes the holiday, it's the people you meet throughout the holiday, that makes it ! Although, it was a TravelZoo offer, clicking the right click's online, l was actually booking it through 'Direct Travel'...What a brill company they turned out to be! Guiding me through the whole time til, reminding me, ''not to forget this, and that'', sending me luggage labels, with again, final reminders re this and that. l was chuffed to bits with their thoughtfulness and professionalism. l hope this little 'Istanbul account is at least, a tiny bit interesting/helpful.
