Excellent, memorable!

Published on Mar, 2024

Please do not hesitate to book your tour with this agency. Ever since my first contact with them, they have been nothing but exceptional. We had a one day private tour, our tour was very unique and original, we felt we saw all important parts of Istanbul in this time frame. Our tour guide was Emir, he is very sweet and kind, very relatable person with lots of tact. I traveled with my mom who is elderly and has mobility issues, Emir held her at all times to make sure she was safe. He treated us like family. He is also very knowledgeable and knows his history. He is very resourceful and can help with interests that are also outside of Istanbul. Touring Istanbul with Emir is the best way to see this beautiful country, do not look anymore and just book with this company. Emir made my stay at Istanbul all the more memorable! Trust me, you will not regret it. Book now!!

Good value
