Istanbul Tour Reviews

“Yagmur was just what we needed to make our day in Istanbul memorable!”

It started as we texted back and forth many times, and sometimes late at night for her, to discuss our program. It helped that her English is perfect and that she is so good humored. My friend and I are elderly, so she tailored our agenda for that, and changed on the spot when necessary. During our breaks she entertained us with delightful stories of everyday life in her country. She even talked with a driver I had previously engaged to take me to the airport to clarify our meeting point and time. Thank you, Yagmur!

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and heart-warming review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your friend in Istanbul. Ensuring you felt comfortable, well-cared for, and relaxed throughout the day was my top priority, so hearing your kind words means the world to me. I thoroughly enjoyed our chats during the breaks and sharing stories of daily life here! I’m so glad everything went smoothly with your departure as well. Wishing you both wonderful health and happiness, and I’d be honored to welcome you back anytime!

“Wonderfull Guide, Amazing energy”

When we travel we always get a guide for the first couple of days and our day Yağmur was great. I can not recommend her highly enough, she is energentic, insightfull, funny,great English and flexlible to what ever needs you have. We did the city highlights tour which was great, amazing knowledge. Her recommondation for the turkish bath was fantastic. (You have to do this, it was amazing), she also points out a few special shops in the Grand Bazaar which were great, and in full disclosure, she did take us to a rug store, turns out it wasnt just any rug store it was an experience that shows you how they are made from scratch, there is a bit of salemanship here but was great fun and you don't have to buy anything, although the handmade rug adorned with a beautifull horse has found a new home with us. Just book with Yağmur, you will have a great day.

Thank you so much for this glowing review and your fantastic energy! Guiding you through the highlights was an absolute blast. I’m so thrilled that you enjoyed the Turkish bath recommendation—it really is a must-do in Istanbul! And I couldn't be happier that the handmade horse rug found its new home with you; it truly is a work of art and a unique memory to take back. Wishing you safe travels, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime!

“Fascinating Tour”

Yasin was a wonderful guide who gave us an in-depth tour of Topkapi Palace and, at our request, took us through some less touristy neighborhoods of Istanbul. We were grateful for the range of experiences and Yasin's thoughtful commentary.
