Great, kid-friendly guide; good tour! - The best thing was Rose - our tour guide! She was fabulous, very knowledgeable and excellent with the kids. The cisterns were fascinating and well worth having a guide for. We didn’t meet many (or any ghosts) but enjoyed the tour so much that the kids didn’t mind.

Something really different - We stayed in istanbul for about a week and had almost all types of tours and eventually rolled up for this very interesting title. Stories behind here are far more beyond my expectation. It's a mind streching memory I have about Constantinople and so called istanbul. Thank you.

Istanbul's Ghostly Secrets! - It was a chilling event that I will never forget. Our guide expertly related chilling traditions of long-forgotten ghosts, spectral figures, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding historic sites. Anyone looking for an exciting fusion of history and the paranormal should take this tour, in my opinion. Many thanks!

very interesting experience - The tour was very well organized, and I appreciated that we were able to cover so much ground on foot while still having plenty of time to stop and take in the sights. Your storytelling skills were top-notch, and you had a great way of bringing the creepy stories to life and making them both mysterious and fascinating. One of the highlights of the tour for me was visiting the underground tunnels beneath the palace, which added a whole new dimension to the stories and legends we had heard earlier in the tour. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul who loves history, weird and mysterious stories, or both. Thank you so much for an amazing experience, and I hope to take another tour with you in the future!
