Our guide Emel was very knowledgeable and very helpful. Even after the tour she shared several ideas about rest of our stay which came in handy.
Great guide and responsive agency

Overall, a great experience! Communication with the agency was great. I asked for a female guide and they paired me with Rumeysa. She was knowledgeable, fun, and very attentive. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together!
A perfect two day tour
Published on Oct, 2024
Emel was an excellent guide. We spent two days experiencing some incredible sights, tastes and smells of Istanbul. With so many tourists all trying to see the same sights, it was so nice to have someone there to move things when necessary, suggest activities, and help us navigate transportation. It really allowed us to hit the ground running. Emel was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about history, culture, food and social information.
Fantastic 2-day Tour of Istanbul
Published on Sep, 2024
We enjoyed a terrific 2 day tour (not long enough!) of Istanbul with our amazing guide Emre Aygun. Emre began our tour with a boat trip on the Bosporus where he oriented us to this intriguing city and provided us with invaluable historical background. He took us to “must see” sites including the Suleymaniye Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia Museum, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque and the Chora Church as well as off the beaten path gems such as the Fener-Balat district. Emre is an extremely well trained guide whose comprehensive historical and architectural knowledge and energetic exuberance made our tour a real joy. His cultural insights were an added bonus as were the great “hole-in-the-wall cafes he took us to and his picture- perfect advice on where to take the best photos. We could not have had a better guide!
Our Day in Istanbul
Published on Sep, 2024
We had an AMAZING day exploring Istanbul with our guide Duygu. She was outstanding!!! Our tour was well planned and well communicated prior to arrival in port. It was also well organized from pickup to drop off at our cruise pier. In addition to all of the practical necessities what was as appreciated was her support and friendship. She was knowledgeable and conveyed history and insight in a manner that was interesting and easy to understand. We felt like we had a friend to guide and hold our hand as we maneuvered local transportation, negotiated ticket lines, toured historic sites and mosques, walked streets, ate lunch and shopped. We were shown the beauty of the city in one day.
