What a great day! - Errol was one of the best guides I’ve had! He was really knowledgeable about the area and answered every question we had, not to mention just lovely to hang out with all day. He took us to some lovely local areas that we never would have seen by ourselves. He personalised the tour to meet our interests and included foods we wanted to try. I had spent 5 days in Istanbul but felt like I saw a whole different side of it today. Highly recommend!

Istanbul private tour of Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Basilica cisterns , Agia Sofya and the Tookapi Palace - Tolga is a lovely man with an exceptional breadth of knowledge of history, architecture and politics, and has so many interesting stories to tell which he does with a quiet, gentle and extremely interesting manner. He gave us so much time and his range of topics is incredible. I would definitely recommend a tour with Tolga

Unforgetable experience in Istanbul - Istanbul was even more incredible than we imagined and we were able to make the most of our time in port due to Tematique Tours. The first day, it was 3:00 PM by the time we disembarked from our ship. I was concerned that we would miss out on some of the sites we had hoped to see. However, Isil was waiting for us and made sure we maximized our time. She was friendly, energetic, and extremely knowledgeable. She was responsive to our interests and questions. Due to our late start, she even stayed with us so we could do an evening tour of the Basilica Cistern, which was absolutely amazing. We absolutely loved our time with her. The next morning, Tolga met us at the port and made sure we saw the remaining sites we had hoped to see. He was engaging and shared so much information with us that we would not have known otherwise. At our request, he guided us to some amazing shops where we were able to purchase high quality turkish delights, pottery, and leather goods. He also had us sample some delicious Turkish stuffed meatballs on Ikstiklal Street. I hope to return to Istanbul, and if I do, I will definitely be booking the food tour he offers! Do not hesitate to book a tour with this company.
