Tourguide in Istanbuhl for 2 female college students?
My daughter is an American college student studying in Florence and wants to travel to Istanbuhl with another female college student. Can anyone recommend a male guide to escort these girls through Istanbuhl? I heard it is safer for blonde, American-looking young girls to have a male escort. Can you recommend what not to miss areas? Thank you, Vicki

Hi Vicki,
I've never been to Istanbul, but hope to do so some day.
But to answer your question: IMO you should try
www.turkeytravelplanner.com
Tom Brosnan is to Turkey what Rick Steves is to Europe.
He has a list of recommended tour guides, and has enough clout that one should mention his name when booking. He thoroughly explains why on his site.
His website also has a great deal of useful info in addition to TG recommendations.
