Istanbul Tour Reviews

Pure magic for families! Kept our 7-year-old captivated for 3 hours!

Booking this private tour of the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Basilica Cistern was the best decision we made in Istanbul. Dilek was absolutely spectacular, especially with our 7-year-old daughter. Taking a child on a 3-hour historical tour can be daunting, but she turned it into an interactive adventure. She kept our daughter completely captivated from start to finish by asking engaging questions, telling captivating stories, and offering fun little rewards that kept her motivated. Her ability to connect with children while delivering a wealth of historical knowledge to the adults is a rare and incredible skill. Beyond her deep expertise, she was incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire afternoon. If you are travelling to Istanbul with kids, do yourself a huge favour and book a tour with her. She made history come alive for our whole family! Vijay

She definitely earned all of those little rewards! It is always my biggest goal to make history engaging for both the adults and the kids, and I'm so happy to hear that you all had a magical afternoon. Thank you again for choosing to spend your day in Istanbul with me. Sending my warmest hugs to you, your wife and your sweet daughter. I hope our paths cross again someday,

Great Trip

Nazmiye our guide in Istanbul, was very outstanding - friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and informative. Very happy with the Guide service and helping us to learn to navigate the city on the first day. The meeting point from the ship was well communicated and everything went smoothly to make a very comfortable day of visiting the Istanbul sights we were excited to see!
