Istanbul Tour Reviews

An amazing guide!

Sakir was an amazing guide! He made all arrangements for us in Istanbul and Cappadocia. He and his team were very friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to answer all our questions. They were very accommodating and made sure we got to visit all of the places we wanted to. Sakir also made some great recommendations for food and drinks. Would highly recommend him! Kudos!

Lovely and Knowledgeable

Didem was an amazing guide and we spent a wonderful day seeing Istanbul's Highlights. We were so lucky to have Didem as our guide, we were impressed by the depth of her knowledge and how easily she led us to see everything we wanted and places we didn't know about. One of the best days of travel ever.
