Private Walking Instanbul Excursion - My husband and I recently took the Istanbul walking tour, and it was an incredible experience! Our tour guide, AJ, was exceptional. Her deep knowledge of Istanbul’s history and culture, combined with her engaging storytelling, made the tour both informative and entertaining. She took my husband that is a fire fighter to a fire station that made his day.

Great tour with a great guide! - Loved our private tour with Sema! She adapted our tour to our interests and comfort. She also was a great photographer for us. So glad we got to see the highlights of Istanbul with her leading the way!

Beautiful day seeing the sights - Wonderful day walking the old city and seeing all the important sights. We did a private tour so we could tailor it to our needs a little to help since we had our 11yo son with us. Just the right amount of time at each location.

Day in Istambul with Sophia - My husband and I had a private tour with Sophia, in Istambul today, it was a wonderful time. Sophia was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and took her time to explain the intracies of Istambul's sites and culture as they changed through the years. Further she explained our options and sifhts to see and let us choose what appealed to us. I would highly recommend her as a guide. Thank You

Exceptional, to repeat - Wonderful, an experience to remember and repeat. Our guide Umut was exceptional, attentive and showed us places off the beaten path and his way of commenting made us understand the history and religion that surrounds Istanbul.

Perfect day in beautiful Istanbul - Our private tour of Istanbul exceeded our expectations. Hakan Kutlu showed up promptly and took us to everything we wanted to see during our limited time in Istanbul. His knowledge of this amazing city was incredible. He was well educated, and he explained the history of the places we visited while incorporating stories and little known facts to give us a deeper understanding. We were very fortunate to have Hakan guide us. We loved our time in Istanbul because of him!

Informative and helpful guide. - Our guide was informative, happy to accommodate our requests and looked after us well. Unfortunately it was extremely busy in Istanbul and the queues for the mosques very long and time-consuming, which curtailed our programme a little.
