İstanbula ilk seyahatimizde tavsiye üzerine Daytoursistanbul'a ulaştık. Sağolsun Rehber Orçun bey bizi çok güzel gezdirdi. Üç güne tüm İstanbul'u sığdırmak tabiiki mümkün olmadı. Ama bizim için çok verimli bir tur oldu. 3 güne bir dolu anı sığdırdık. Teşekkürler Daytoursistanbul, Teşekkürler Orçun Kamit🙏🙏
