Istanbul Private Tours

“Custom tour”

Serkan arranged transportation from our hotel to the old city and then to the airport which was really helpful for our group of 10 during our Istanbul layover. We saw so much in a short time. It was a great intro to Istanbul - peaking our interest for a return trip.

“An unforgettable day with the best guide in Istanbul”

We booked the Istanbul Highlights Tour with Yagmur and it was the best decision of our trip. She was warm and quick to respond from our very first message, and it only got better from there. The day covered Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern and the Grand Bazaar, and Yagmur brought every stop to life. She explains centuries of history like a friend telling you stories, not a lecture, pointing out details we'd have walked right past on our own. She paced the day perfectly, knew when to slow down and grab a coffee, and steered us toward local spots for lunch that were far better than anything we'd have found ourselves. By the end of the day it felt like we'd made a friend, not just hired a guide. If you're headed to Istanbul, book with Yagmur. You'll leave with a deeper appreciation for the city and stories you'll be telling for years.

Aseem, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing Istanbul with you. I’m especially happy to hear that the stories, little details, local recommendations, and the pace of the day made the experience memorable for you. For me, guiding is about much more than simply visiting the sights. I want my guests to feel the city, understand its stories, and hopefully leave with a few wonderful memories of their own. And hearing that it felt like you had made a friend rather than simply hired a guide genuinely means a lot to me. Thank you for trusting me with your day in Istanbul. I hope our paths cross again someday, whether in Istanbul or somewhere else in the world! Wishing you both many more beautiful journeys ahead.

“A Lovely Way to Discover Old Istanbul with kids”

We had a wonderful experience exploring Old Istanbul with Dilek. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour enjoyable for the whole family. Most importantly, she was wonderful with our children and was very patient and engaging with them throughout the tour. She made sure they stayed interested while also giving us a great introduction to the history and beauty of the key highlights of the tour. We really enjoyed our time with her and would happily recommend her to other families traveling with children.

Hi Isabel Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was a pleasure exploring Old Istanbul with you and your beautiful family. I always believe that history is best enjoyed when everyone especially the little ones can connect with it and have fun. Your children were so curious and amazing to be around which made the tour enjoyable for me as well. Thank you for your kind recommendation and I hope to welcome you all back to Istanbul in the future
