Unlock Istanbul's Soul: Private 1-3 Day Guided Discovery

Guide was extremely knowledgeable and did her best to maximize the short amount of time we had in Istanbul. I would recommend her for a tour.

Burak was an incredible guide who educated us on the rich history of Turkey and it's many beautiful mosques We moved at a perfect pace, allowing plenty of time for photos and to truly soak in the culture and atmosphere. We enjoyed a delicious local lunch visit, an ancient Roman cistern (a fascinating underground storage site), and ended the day exploring the vibrant Grand Bazaar. Everything was within walking distance, and Burak ensured the tour was comfortable and well paced throughout. He was considerate, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, sharing so much about the deep and fascinating history of Turkey. Highly recommended touring with him.

We had a wonderful tour with Hasan, who guided us through the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Hippodrome. He was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and funny, and he adapted the tour perfectly to the interests and theme of our group. Hasan shared fascinating insights and historical details in an engaging way, and his warm, friendly personality made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have wished for a better guide – thank you, Hasan!

We were fortunate to have had Volkan as our tour guide.for three days. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable but personable as well Our hotel was located in the Sultanahmet District and we contemplated doing the historical sites on our own. but kept our reservation for a tour guide, so happy we did Volkan is a wealth of information and loved sharing it. Over the three days,, we feel we gained so much insight into İstanbul and Turkey’s history. For lunch and refreshments, Volkan always took us to local spots to immerse us the foods. We didn’t opt for the car option. So on second snd third day we used public transportation. To make it easier for us, Volkan tapped his pass and we settled with him on our last day. He also knew his to get us through the crowds. Also, no sales pitches at any stops. One day it was forecast for heavy rain in afternoon and he suggested leaving earlier the next morning to finish the tour before we thunderstorm. We highly recommend Volkan as a guide. You would not be disappointed

Our experience with Sema was exceptional. She was so friendly and full of endless information. Would highly recommend her for your visit to Istanbul and more.

Our guide Volkan met us at our hotel and would be our guide for three days. We toured the historical sites the first day. While our hotel was give min well from all of them and void easily have done them on our own, we chose to have a guide. Volkan is extremely knowledgeable. Have no idea how he can remember all that history. On our second day, we visited the Dolhambre (?), a Bosphorus cruise, Taksim Square and Spice Market. Thursday we visited another mosque. Chora Church (not to be missed) the Greek Orthodox Church where Pooe Leo will visit on November 23 and local neighborhoods. Volkan spoke excellent English and very personable which is very important. He also took us to the best local restaurants for lunch. Volkan brought history to life. We were so footy have had him for our guide. If you want to have an in-depth tour. highly recommend Volkan.

Eda was fantastic! We had to pivot slightly in the beginning due to a lost item in a taxi but she bent over backwards to accommodate and support us. She ensured we got through as many tourist sites as possible. Istanbul would have been tough without a tour guide. Definitely splurge a little so you can enjoy the sites and learn about what you’re seeing.

Great tour by our knowledgeable guide, Atahan. He arranged transport and managed to give us lots of history of each place we visited. Ata answered all of our questions and clearly enjoys his vocation. I would highly recommend the tour and Atahan as a guide.

Amit our guide made Istanbul come alive with a wonderful tour of so many beautiful historic places. He listened to what we wanted to do and really made it a great adventure for the two days. He made every place come alive with interesting information and stories. He went above and beyond each day to make our tour a special experience for us and we would love to come back and see him again next time we're here in Istanbul. You will not find a better guide.

My family and I have never been to Istanbul and we wanted a tour that was tailored to us and that was private. We had the pleasure of having Mustafa as our guide and he was WONDERFUL! He has been living in Istanbul for over 20 years and it shows! He made sure we saw what we wanted and was so nice! We spent two days with him and wished we could have stayed longer! But seriously, it’s a huge city and having a private driver and guide made it so easy! They picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off. We enjoyed eating lunch with him each day! He took us to great local places and having him helped us skip the lines. The tour company even arranged to have a private yacht cruise down the Bosporus, which was so worth it! We highly recommend this tour and ask for Mustafa!
