Amazing experience and Selim amazing tour guide!

Published on Apr, 2024

All the experience was amazing! We did the tour with my husband in our honeymoon. Selim, our private tour guide was on time to pick up us at the hotel, he and the car driver were very polite and friendly, the car was really comfortable and clean. Selim was amazing, he speaks Spanish fluently, he explained every single detail and interesting facts about the places that we visited at the old city. He also took us to taste Turkish delight, Baklava, Turkish tea and also took us to the grand bazaar where he recommended really good shops to buy local products. Thank you so much for this amazing experience!

Istanbul private tour - Saban Sezer

Published on Oct, 2022

We had a private tour of Istanbul (Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosk). Saban explains really well and really goes the extra mile to tell countless interesting stories. Very good organisation.

Istanbul Private Walking Tour from Cruise Ship

Published on Jul, 2022

Our private guide, Musa, picked us up from the Cruise Terminal and took us by public tram to the historic centre of the old town. We visited the square an learned about the history of Istanbul and visited the Sultan's mauseleam, the Hagia Sophia mosque & Topkapi Palace. Musa was very knowledgable about everywhere we visited and we also discussed about modern day Turkey as well as the history. It is quite tiring walking in the heat for us elderly folk, but the beauty of the private tour is flexiblity. We took a leisurely lunch in the Palace garden & instead of trekking to the Grand Bazaar, took a tram to the smaller Egyptian Bazaar & followed it up with a run around the Bosphorus harbour on the river ferrys which gave us a chance to sit down & see the sights. Musa was great & I really recommend this tour.

A wonderful introduction to Istanbul!

Published on Jun, 2022

This was such a wonderful tour and introduction to the sites and history of Istanbul. Musa was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable and was very accomodating with the tour. I highly recommend this tour!

Well worth your time for an overview of Istanbul with a local guide.

Published on Apr, 2022

OUr guide was fantastic. He did a great job both days and showed us the best of Istanbul. He did not disappoint.
