Amazin Tour with Fantastc Guide

Published on Jan, 2025

We joined the Istanbul Highlights Half-Day Morning, and it was such a great experience. The places we visited were absolutely beautiful, especially Hagia sophia and the Blue Mosque. Our guide, Mehmet, was fantasti. He was super friendly, funny, and knew so much about the history of Istanbul. He answered all our questions with patience and made the whole tour really enjoyable. It felt like exploring the city with a very knowledgeable friend :)

Half a day well spent

Published on Sep, 2024

We enjoyed the entire trip and all of Duygu’s historical knowledge she shared with us. Our favorite definitely was the tour of the Basilica Cistern. It was a beautiful and really cool place to see. I was surprised at how much the modern art pieces enhanced the experience. My grandchildren both loved the tour. We all enjoyed our tour guide as well. She was not only very knowledgeable but also very sweet and personable.

Loved it!

My wife and I loved this tour, it is a great way to see the main historical sights in Turkey. Diana was the best tour guide we could ask for, she was friendly and highly knowledgeable, teaching us the intricacies and history of all the monuments along our path, and was also kind enough to take us to some of the best shops in the Grand Bazaar too. She really helped make our experience in Istanbul amazing, so big thanks to Diana for being a wonderful tour guide!
