Wonderful day! - Feruza was a wonderful host. She infused the day with historical references, and made sure we hit some main spots, along with spots frequented by locals.

Great introduction to Istanbul - We had such a great day with Tugba! She was informative without talking too much, and she was able to answer our questions informatively. We enjoyed talking about Türkiye, but also about her life experience. She was flexible when we wanted to change plans towards the end of the day, and she gave us information about a concert that we would not have known about. It was a perfect way to start our visit to Istanbul! Highly recommended!

Hidden gems plus more! - Burak was great! He expertly whisked us to the gems we requested and also included additional special stops that surprised and delighted us. He read our pace and kept things moving with just the right amount of detail. We learned new things, tasted new foods, and really felt like we explored an area that we would not otherwise have discovered on our own. Great communication and follow through. Highly recommended!

Greatest Day in Istanbul - Emir was our excellent personal Guide that made our entire day with him in Istanbul an amazing lifelong memorable experience. He took the time to teach us about his City, Culture and Country. Emir ensured that we tried all types of local street foods, Turkish teas and coffees. We traveled to all the various neighborhoods of Istanbul and Emir did everything to ensure we were learning as much as we could.

More than a tour - A really interesting and varied tour. Saw and noticed things we would never have seen on our own or on a conventional tour. Burak was relaxed, honest, adaptable and so knowledgeable.

Authentic tour of real Istanbul - Really great tour - Emir tailored the tour to our tastes as we wanted to see more authentic places and not just the main tourist sites. We wanted to get a feel for what life was like in Instanul for the citizens and Emir delivered and more. She was friendly and was very knowledgeable. After our tour we felt we knew a much more about the city and had a better feel for life in Turkey.

One Day Private Tour in Istanbul - Feruza was a great guide. We told her we wanted to go off the beaten path as we could see the major tourist sites on our own. She took us to some really interesting neighborhoods in Istanbul that gave us a real flavor for the city. Highly recommend.

Learn how to get around the city and the tips and tricks of Istanbul. - We booked this tour to help acclimate us to Istanbul. Our initial agenda to focus on history, architecture etc. We had a fine day with Tugba who navigated the city by tram, bus, foot and ferry. She is a warm and knowledgeable guide. Born and raised in Istanbul and a true local. She helped us become confident getting around the city. Chai and cimit on the ferry. Lunch on a plaza with conversation and about life in the city. Her hints about how to navigate the major sites were valuable to us. I recommend her as a guide.
