A principios de octubre estuvimos cerca de una semana mi marido y yo en Estambul. Decidimos contratar los servicios de DIANA para hacer dos visitas con ella, RECORRIDO POR EL CUERNO DE ORO y COMPRAS EN LOS BAZARES. Tenemos que decir que fue una experiencia fantástica, nos mostró lugares muy bonitos y unas iglesias ortodoxas preciosas. En las compras visitamos sitios muy interesantes y los espectaculares bazares. Su trato fue muy amable y cariñoso, nos ayudó en todo lo que le pedíamos, incluso aprendimos a viajar en el metro con ella, lo cual nos fue muy útil en nuestros desplazamientos por la cuidad. Guardamos un grato recuerdo de ella, y sin duda la recomendaríamos si alguien piensa viajar a Estambul. Gracias DianaVACACIONES EN ESTAMBUL

This tour with Diana isn't about she wants to show us, instead it is centred around what we had wished to do.
As a personal shopper with several decades of experience, having treaded across the multifarious shops in Istanbul's back alleys and the labyrinthine market streets, Diana presented to us true value. Nestled among the sea of fakes and counterfeited products which are in abundance, especially at the Grand Bazaar, Diana's selection of outlets showcased the depth of Turkiye's artistic beauty. From Ceramics to Bathware and from Carpets to Fabrics, Diana guided us to find products of the highest quality, based on our requirements to suit our budget.
To simply put it, we would've been lost both literally and figuratively, in the multitude of stores, unable to spot fake from original and not knowing where to go, if not for Diana's presence.
But this alone isn't what sets her apart. Irrespective of rains and inclement weather, Diana chose to meet us at the hotel instead of a designated pickup spot, explained to us in detail the essence of this tour and that she wasn't bound by any timelines since shopping didn't and couldn't work with the stresses of deadlines and irrespective of it becoming late and well past her your time, chose to walk us to our Hamam in Sultanahmet more than a mile away from our shopping zone, even holding our arms to ensure that we didn't slip and arms.
On a cold windy rainy day in Istanbul, Diana's tour was filled with warmth and it was perfect icing on the last day of our ten day trip.Diana: Curation with Care & Comfort.

Diana is very passionate about what she does
She is a multi faceted artist who imparts her knowledge simply and clearly.
She makes it a point to spend a few good minutes getting to know u before embarking on the journey with her.
She is compassionate and flexible.
All in all, we had a seamless experience where she brought us to places where we were able to purchase good quality Turkish goods produced by local artisans.
You are in safe hands with Diana.A true local experience

I felt so confident before I met Diana due to her communications to establish what our requirement were and the tailor made tour she sent ahead of our day together.
Diana was knowledgable, completely understood our needs and provided an itinerary which was perfect for us. She speaks fluent English and Turkish which was very useful when shopping.
She was polite, professional very caring and appreciated our sense of humour. We would not hesitate to recommend Diana.A thoroughly enjoyable day with Diana
