We had a wonderful tour with Hazal! She was very knowledgeable and took us to all of the top sites! We also stopped at a great local Turkish coffee shop and had a late lunch at a popular doner place in the grand bazaar. Hazal was very good with the kids and took many photos for us. We highly recommend her!

Never been to the middle east, never been to Europe or Asia. Decided to go to Turkey. We dont know the language and its hard to get around. I ended up getting a tour guide so it could help us out. Thats when I met Sercan Mert. I can say he not only helped us out showing things he saved me from the scam. He also was very personal and did not seem like it was a business transaction. I feel like i have found a friend here. My wife and I felt safe with him. One of the most humble people i have ever met and on top of that, he has a wealth of knowledge. Thank you is not enough praise for Sercan Mert. If you are planning on coming to Turkey, come see my guy Sercan. He is the best.

We booked our guide Can for two full days, he has excellent knowledge of the city and his English is superb. He has a very pleasant personality and is a good companion to explore places of interest together. Can also has a good eye for photography and took some memorable images for us!

We spent the day with Sendar. He picked us from our AirBnB and took the tram with us to Istanbul Old Town. He was very accommodating to our requests, allowing us to visit the Basilica cistern although our tour only included the Hagia Sofia, blue mosque and Topkapi.

We had a wonderful time in Istanbul. Ozee was a great guide and knew all the history and shortcuts that took us all over the city using all types of transportation. The three day package allowed us to spend time at all the sites on our list. As first time visitors, I couldn’t imagine a better introduction to this wonderful city.

Serdar was an amazing guide! He was thoroughly knowledgeable about his city and the history behind it; but more than that, he was full of joy and good humor. It was a fabulous day spent with S.J. I would highly recommend!

We walked around the city and saw things we would have otherwise missed. Volkan was very patient with our questions, especially those coming from my teen. We did a lot of walking but that is the best way to get around in order to get to know a city. Glad we found this as it saved me lots of time doing research and figuring out how to get around. Highly recommend!

During our business trip to Istanbul, Ekram guided us through a whirlwind tour of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Mosque, and Basilica Cistern. His concise yet informative explanations made the most of our limited time, revealing the historical and architectural wonders of these iconic landmarks. Ekram's professionalism and friendly demeanor ensured a seamless experience, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for Istanbul's rich heritage. For business travelers seeking a brief yet enlightening cultural immersion, Ekram's tour is a must. Thank you, Ekram, for an unforgettable glimpse into Istanbul's treasures!
