5.00We had an exceptional experience with Ceren as our tour guide in Istanbul. Her deep knowledge of the city and flexibility made our adventure unforgettable. We highly recommend her for anyone looking to explore Istanbul in a unique and personalized way. Ceren proved to be worth every penny, adeptly accommodating our specific request for a blend of historical insights and culinary experiences. Although this wasn’t her usual tour format, she skillfully crafted an itinerary that perfectly suited our interests. Even when we weren't physically with her, Ceren remained accessible, offering valuable guidance on where to eat and visit on our own.As non-Turkish speakers navigating the bustling streets of Istanbul, we found Ceren’s assistance invaluable. Her support made our trip much smoother and more enjoyable. In summary, Ceren is a top-notch guide who goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable and hassle-free experience
