Highlights

Small group slow tour, 3-hour in-depth commentary, one route covering how Istanbul became a strait city that "is no longer the national capital, yet remains the nation's face"
It's not "palace-hopping plus shopping"—it's a political geography lesson: why Ankara won in 1923 and the Bosphorus didn't lose.
Topkapi is the echo of Byzantium, Dolmabahçe is the curtain call of the Ottomans, and after Taksim, the capital moved to Ankara
