Neslihan brought warm energy and plenty of fascinating historical tales to the tour. Her easygoing demeanor and kindness made the scheduled time fly by. Arranged to familiarize ourselves with the area before venturing out ourselves, she made sure to listen to our plans, customizing advice to our particular interests. Having our fortunes read in coffee grounds was a fun and unexpected addition. Equipped with many suggestions, key Turkish phrases, and an Istanbulkart, we began our trip feeling confident and energized. Teşekkürler, Neslihan!Upbeat and personalized

We recently had the absolute pleasure of exploring Istanbul with Neslihan as our guide, and it was an unforgettable experience! Her deep knowledge of the city’s rich history was truly impressive, and she shared it with a European perspective that added an interesting layer of relatability. Neslihan’s ability to move seamlessly through the bustling streets and iconic sites made our journey both fast-paced and efficient, yet it never felt rushed. She has a warm and charming personality that made everyone in the group feel at ease, turning what could have been a simple tour into a friendly and engaging adventure. If you’re looking for someone who brings passion, insight, and a touch of magic to your Istanbul experience, we cannot recommend Neslihan enough! Thank you for making our trip so special. 🌟Perfect!

My wife Jurga and I had the pleasure of touring Istanbul with Neslihan, and it was truly the best guiding experience we’ve ever had. From the moment we met her, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. Neslihan’s deep historical knowledge of Istanbul is remarkable. She shared fascinating stories about the city’s architecture, significant landmarks, and influential figures throughout history, providing rich context that brought each site to life. Her enthusiasm was infectious, making every moment enjoyable and engaging. One of the highlights was discovering hidden gems that only a local would know, like a café tucked away in the center of a cemetery. Thanks to her insights, we were able to explore a side of Istanbul that often goes unnoticed by tourists. This unique perspective revealed just how beautiful and intriguing the city truly is. Neslihan also provided excellent recommendations for things to see and taste during our stay, ensuring we made the most of our time in this incredible city. Her eloquence, charisma, and wonderful sense of humor made the entire experience delightful. We cannot recommend Neslihan highly enough! If you're looking for a guide who will enrich your journey through Istanbul, look no further. We left feeling inspired and grateful for the memories we created together. Thank you, Neslihan, for an unforgettable adventure!Unforgettable Istanbul with Neslihan!
