We had a fantastic day with Eylem. We've seen a lot of the city thanks to Eylem. And of course enjoyed the delicious food of Istanbul. Also before the tour we had received very good contact and tips. If you are looking for a guide in Istanbul, you really have no choice but to choose her.
Best guide ever!!!

This tour was absolutely amazing! Eylem was so fun and engaging for an entire day of exploring Istanbul through food. She took us to so many different areas to try local foods, shifting and altering plans to accommodate our wishes. What a great way to explore a new city….nothing beats eating your way around.
Enjoy Istanbul with a fantastic tour guide!

I can’t say enough great things about Eylem and our experience in Istanbul. She is so friendly and fun and catered our tour to the types of things we wanted to do. She is also very knowledgeable of the history of everything there. We had originally booked two days with her but asked her to add on a third day because the sightseeing was so much more interesting and enjoyable with her.
