Istanbul with Sibel

5.00What a wonderful day spent with Sibel during our visit to Istanbul. Not only did she guide us through three of the most important and historic sites, she was extremely helpful in describing the many eras of Instanbul's transitioning dynasties and rulers. She was most instrumental in providing us with an understanding the basic beliefs of Muslims and the juxtaposition of our Christian beliefs Thank you, Sibel.
Great day with Savas.

5.00Savas was an excellent guide. He had a lot of attention to me and my wife throughout the day we were with him who has a deep knowledge of history, architecture, and customs of the good Turkish people of Istanbul. The day was very profitable. It was very valuable for everything we learned and lived. I recommend everyone who is interested in meeting Istanbul with an ethical and great character Cover.
Excellent personalized tour!

5.00Fethi was a great guide. He was ready and waiting for us and made sure we got to see everything we wanted. He tailored the tour to my wife’s physical abilities and was very solicitous of her stamina and ability during the tour. He recommended a fantastic restaurant for lunch. The tour was excellent and much better than being an anonymous member of a large group tour.
Great tour at great price

5.00This was our first time in Istanbul. Erdem customize the tour to our interest. We had time to see the Blue Mosque, Cistern, Hagia Sofia and do some Bazzar shopping. We also did lunch and Turkish ice cream. Erdem provided history and importance of each site. We loved our tour and we recommend it.
