Excellent

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a private tour two of us by Sevilay. She was responsible, proactive to inform meet-up venue, and informative about the history of the places of interest. Best part she has excellent photography skills & helped us take nice photos. Friendly and excellent guide. As expected and informed by previous tourists, there is a carpet sale pitch at shop, ceramic shop and shop at grand bazaar we were brought to. Prices seem bit steep

Informative

Published on Oct, 2024

Our guide so very knowledgeable about the sites and the Turkish history. We would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Istanbul Day Tour with Sevilay

Published on Sep, 2024

Our intimate tour of Istanbul’s sites with Sevilay Tokmak was incredible. She made sure we were taken care of and answered all of our questions and curiosities with insightful facts about Istanbul and the culture. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the day with her and appreciate all of her knowledge about this beautiful city. We highly recommend using Neon Tours for a tour of the grand sites of Istanbul!!

Great time

Published on Sep, 2024

We had such a wonderful time with this walking tour! In one day, we were able to see so much of the Sultanahmet with our guide, Nadriye. We learned so much and had the best time walking around the city!

Recommend
