Great tour experience! - My husband and I took a private tour through Istanbul. Feruza was a great guide through the city! She was very knowledgeable of the city and the culture. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city of Istanbul!

Ferhat is an exceptional tour guide - Ferhat was outstanding! such an intelligent - ge nine, kind and professional young man. It was the best experience from our visit to Istanbul. He made the day and everything we did extra special and made us feel safe and well taken care of. I could not recommend spending the day with Ferhat when in Istanbul

Atilla the Honey - Atilla was an amazing guide and I am so glad we got this tour. He gave us invaluable insight into the local culture, showed us beautiful mosques, helped us bargain for lamps and carpets, took us to great places for wine and kabobs, and was just an all around wonderful person to know in Istanbul. I really appreciated how he read the survey we filled out and personalized our visit accordingly. He took us over to the Asian side by ferry, and even though he lives there, he rode the ferry back with us at the end of the night and put us in a cab to make sure we got back to our hotel safely. It was above and beyond the call of duty. Teşekkürler, Atilla!
