Istanbul, once the capital of Rome... When you walk in the streets of the old city you will see Ottoman buildings around. But where are the Roman buildings? They are under today's city of Istanbul. You just need to know the right doors to open to find them. On this tour we will...

I had a wonderful tour with Ece. She was incredibly insightful and informative, and had a real joy in sharing her knowledge of history. I was lucky enough to have a one-on-one tour, and we visited many sites where she showed me traces of ancient Rome. It was a delightful tour, and I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the history of such a magical city.

I've been on many of these tours in different cities over the last ten years. All excellent. This one, however, was special. Ege has amazing passion and energy. We started (it was just my wife and I on a rainy day) with a hour over coffee of Ege explaining the historical context. She then took us to a series of underground sites that ARE NOT accessible to the public. For example, we did not visit the big cistern. The sites were under hotels and restaurants. Really cool stuff that we would never have seen otherwise. We got a good picture of ancient Constantinople. The tour concluded with a small cistern that fed the royal palace, with a fascinating commercial detour to some artisan shops above the cistern. We could not have had a better tour or tour guide for a cold, rainy day.

Very capable guide introduced us to Greco-Roman remains not usually open to the general public. Enjoyed her company and explanations.

Ece was a fantastic tour guide. She picked my husband and me up at our hotel and we took public transportation to the old city where we explored modern hotels/shops with ancient ruins beneath their buildings. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Turkey, who conquered whom and when, etc.. She also shared some contemporary history about modern day Turkey, young people and their social norms and more . We did lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes and get a Turkish coffee at some point for more energy. Fun day!
