Ezi was amazing she really knows how to go above and beyond for the people on the tour. She took me to the largest mosque 🕌 which was not on the tour. Thank you for being flexible. Hope to recommend you to my friends.

Our full day tour with Songül was great. We saw all of the sights we wanted to and she steered us to a wonderful spot for lunch. Her English was great and she was able to really give us some good insight into the culture and sights of Turkey. We were very pleased.

Very knowledgeable guide. Thank you Arif. This tour was a good option for us as we had just arrived in Turkey and did not want to try to see all Istanbul has to offer on our own. However, as a caution to others, this ended up a very expensive option as we still had to pay for all admissions, transportation and meals for our guide as well as the cost of the tour.

Atahan exceeded all our expectations as the private guide of our 2-day tour of Istanbul for 6 people. He is knowledgeable, gives the necessary details without delving into minutiae, reliable and always helpful. Atahan's love for Turkey and his passion for his heritage and culture comes through - such a treat for us since this is the first trip to Turkey for all but one in our group. He is also very flexible and eager to please - after all the usual jaunts in Istanbul, he brought us to the charming Kuzguncuk Village on the Asia side for lunch and a really nice stroll round the tree-canopied town dotted with cafes, bakeries and local quaint shops. What a treat!
Suat our gallant driver works with Atahan perfectly. Always punctual, ever polite, and a true professional.
We would recommend both Atahan and Suat wholeheartedly for a good time in Istanbul!

Fatma Salvi was an awesome guide. She is so knowledgeable without giving you too much information to make it too much to take it. Well done Fatma

We booked through Viator who use a third party who sent Fatma Selvi. We had the best time. Fatma was excellent & very knowledgeable about so much of Turkish history. Although she didn’t try to give it to us as overload so we were able to take it all in
She bartered for the best prices & took us to the best places for coffee & food. She also pointed out a good pub (Red River) for my friends love of beer.
Many thanks Fatma
