This was an excellent three- hour tour of all the historic spots in Balat Istanbul. Our tour leader, TG, was fantastic! The tour was very informative and one that I would highly recommend.

Was blown away by Tg’s knowledge not only of Turkish history but also Roman, Greek history and both Islam and Christianity. I can’t imagine anyone else being able to put it all together to the depth that she did. As described, this walking tour with take you through all the highlights of the Balat area …and there’s plenty. I definitely appreciated being able to skip the lines at the most popular spots, during high season this alone is enough reason to get the tour. My wife and I usually make our own way during trips but this was one where we were glad to have done the tour, we would have missed so much invaluable info without Tg. The most special parts of the tour was by far the views. Her passion for Turkish history made everything from the architecture to the events that took place, special.

Rose was a phenomenal guide and her tour was one of the best I’ve been on. Her special knowledge of the sites and her passion for the history is evident- she knows the stuff you can’t google. This was truly a special experience for myself and my friends, we walked away learning so much more than expected. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough if you’re in Istanbul, this is an absolute must!

I hired Burak to show me and my family around Istanbul for 4 days. She personalised our experience and she made sure we were comfortable and had a great time during her tours. It would not have been possible for a tourist to see Istanbul on their own the way Rose showed us. Rose was able to show us areas not visited as much by tourists, the tram, funicular and even by driving us herself which my daughters loved! She escorted us to restaurants with great food and she was a joy to talk to. She was very informative and considerate in what we wanted to do for the day. With having 2 young children we even cut some days short and he made the best of that day. There were so many areas and sites she showed us and she did a wonderful job. I really appreciated her time and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Absolutely wonderful tour. TG makes it easy to navigate and her level of expertise on Turkish history and culture is amazing. I can not highly recommend this tour enough for those of you who are curious and want to learn more about Istanbul.
