We had the pleasure of a wonderful tour of Hagia Sophia and surrounding area with Gülce. She knew all the history which made the experience for all of us so much better. She even got us into the “tour” line for the Bassillica Cistern which saved us a lot of waiting around (and she also hard great knowledge on the Cistern as well). Thank you, Gülce, for making our trip so enjoyable!
Alp, was a great guide. We arrived in Istanbul and met with Alp after dropping our bags at the hotel. Alp, showed us the city area, shared the history all around us, suggested places to eat, enjoy and visit. We would suggest that anyone spend time with Alp he is great!
We had an amazing time with Abdullah. We didn't really have anything in particular we wanted to see. We had just arrived to Istanbul, so wanted to get oriented with the immediate area and how to use local transit. Staying in Sultanahmet, there was lots for Abdullah to show us, and then we headed over to Karakoy via tram, which he helped us get an Istanbulkart Abdullah was full of knowledge, entertaining, and passionate about what he does and where he lives. Would highly recommend.
We booked the Introduction to Istanbul tour with Emir for the first morning of our stay and we are so glad we did. Emir was a fantastic host, welcoming and full of knowledge! He provided us with lots of tips for how to make the most of time in Istanbul and some great foodie recommendations.
