Intro to Istanbul

5.00We were very happy with our guide mustafa who was very informative on any subject we raised. We covered all the places we wanted to go to walking and using the trams and ferry. We enjoyed a great turkish lunch with mustafa who provided good guidance in the markets and throughout our tour. We greatly enjoyed our tour of istanbul despite it being tiring. Istanbul was a fantastic port to visit and having a personal guide made everything easy. Thank you Mustafa.
Wonderful Tour of Istanbul!

5.00My niece and I had a wonderful time seeing beautiful Istanbul for the first time on this tour. Our guide Musti was fantastic and so very knowledgeable about the deep history of the landmarks and the city. Our favorite stops were the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. Musti provided lots of options and suggestions on the beautiful sites to see, took us to a delicious restaurant, and was extremely helpful in taking us to the best places to find gifts for our family back home. I highly recommend this tour with Musti as your guide!
Thank you for an amazing experience!

5.00Our Istanbul tour with Seyhan was an unforgettable experience. Seyhan was not only knowledgeable about the city’s rich history and vibrant culture, but also exceptionally friendly and attentive. He made sure our itinerary matched our interests, taking us to iconic landmarks such as the magnificent Blue Mosque, the fascinating Basilica Cistern, and the vibrant Spice Bazaar. At each site, Seyhan offered insightful stories and historical context, making the places come alive. He even took us to a local restaurant that offered vegetarian options, catering to our dietary preferences. We felt welcomed in Istanbul and left with amazing memories. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an authentic, and stress-free tour of this beautiful city!
Amazing Tour, would certainly go with this team again.

5.00Honestly, I wouldn't even think of going to Istanbul without Seyhan as my guide. He's super helpful and knowledgable, will adapt his plan to meet your interests and needs, has a terrific sense of humor and is an all-around great guide. From the moment you book with him he stays in touch, and he even went far out of his way to rescue me from a jam at the airport, even though it was the day before our planned tour and we hadn't even met yet. Don't hesitate to book with him!
Great tour to see the highlights of Istanbul

5.00Our guide took into account our age,(74) our mobility and adjusted the tour to meet our needs. He guided us to the Bazzar and helped us to find a good mom and pop restaurant.
