Booked for 5 PM my first night in Istanbul. As my olane was 2 hours late leaving LAX I did not arrive at my hotel until 4:40, had to check in and walk about a mile to the start point. The hotel desk clerk was able to call the guide. When I arrived, not tour. The man woking in the restaurant spoke no English but directed me to two young men who did, who invited me to sit with them, and kindly called the guide. A fww minutes later she showed up with the 4 Australians who insisted on waiing for me. They all commended me on picking up 2 young men in my very short time in Istanbul
