Had a fantastic day exploring Istanbul with Ozge. She gave so much history and insight. We loved being able to cross town via multiple forms of public transportation and walk the streets of Istanbul. Seeing Dolmabahce Palace after exploring the Topkapi Palace was perfect as you could see the differences in palace life across centuries. Not recommended for older travelers as it is a lot of walking and traversing the city. But perfect for younger travelers wanting to explore much of the city on foot.

We hd the most amazing time in Istanbul thanks to our guide Hatice. We had a private tour for 3 days and It was wonderful. This was the best way to spend our precious time in Istanbul. We where able to cover most of the well known sights of Istanbul thanks to our wonderful guide expertise. Hatice is really fluent in English and Spanish which worked perfect for our small group of 4. We all loved out tours .

Our family had a great experience with Emre as our guide. We spent 4.5 days on a custom tour through many sites in Istanbul. Emre was able to facilitate everything, finding great restaurants, aligning private transportation and one of the highlights, a boat tour. Our family had a great experience and hopes to see Emre and Istanbul again in the future.
