During the tour I guesstimated the average age of those on this fourth ACE study tour we have done as 70. Peter Clark was to tell me when we arrived back at Heathrow that it was 71, making me the youngest, at 60. After Syria, Northern Cyprus and Crete, I had worried that nothing could match those trips, but this Constantinople/Istanbul tour was really quite exceptional. As the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle progressively came together, the picture of an extraordinary melting pot for cultures and thinking popped into our minds – and we really can’t wait to go back.
