We had a great afternoon with Ayfer. She was very knowledgeable and introduced us to some lovely places we would have never found on our own. She gave us some great tips for places to eat and see. She was very patient with our younger children. We would highly recommend this tour with Ayfer. It was a great way to see the main attractions of Istanbul.
Istanbul is an extraordinary city, a place where magic, history, and complexity intertwine in a unique balance. Every corner tells a story from the past, every artistic detail reveals the soul of an ancient culture. Thanks to Mine and her deep love for her city, I experienced something far beyond a simple visit…it was a true journey through time and traditions. Through her captivating stories and vast knowledge, I was able to immerse myself in the fascinating history of Istanbul, grasping nuances that I would have otherwise missed. But the experience didn’t stop at the iconic landmarks, Mine also guided us in discovering hidden and authentic spots, offering valuable tips on how to explore the city independently in the following days.
Our 3 hour tour with Neslihan was amazing: we laughed a lot, seen a lot, learnt a lot and ended up with a list of recommendations for the rest of our trip. Neslihan loves the city and it’s infectious! She knows it’s history and culture and shares her knowledge in a light and engaging way: surprised just how much we’ve learnt whilst having fun! Could not recommend Neslihan highly enough.
I honestly don’t know where to start. Dilek was amazing and it was like I was learning about the city from a friend. Her communication, from the moment I set up the tour until the moment I met her was fabulous. We chatted and got to know each other. She arranged for me to have transportation and it was the best decision! Dilek’s in depth knowledge of Istanbul is second to none, and we had wonderful conversations wandering the cobblestone streets lined with cafes and restaurants. We were able to see the Hagia Sofia, Cisterns, Spice Market, old city, new city, galata port, and so much more! I fell in love with Istanbul in large part because of Dilek. I didn’t just have a tour. I explored an amazing city with a friend, and made memories that will last me forever.
