Outstanding, engaging, knowledge! - Our guide Gülşen was wonderful, super engaging, very knowledgeable and great at accommodating my father who walks with a cane. She answered our many questions about the city and its history, took us to a delicious cafe, and tailored the trip to our interests. Outstanding!

Gulsen showed us so much of Istanbul in just one day! - Ask for guide Gulsen! She is so very knowledgeable in all of the Turkish history for the many sites we visited. We were stunned at the beauty of the cistern and the Blue Mosque and learned so much about the Hagia Sophia. She still had time to take us through the Bazaar and the spice market and brought us to her favorite lunch spot. A great adventure made so enjoyable by Gulsen book this one even if you have gone throne or two of the stops before on your own.

Best decision and great experience. - It was the best decision to take a one day guided provate tour. For one day we visited the majority of must see sites on Istanbul. It's hard to overestimate how much time we saved on getting into almost all attractions straight away thanks to Gulya. She is a wonderfully, carrying and very knowledgeable guide. Her advices, help and support were priceless. She shared with us all her love and passion about Istanbul. And we will definitely be back there once again.

Truly a wonderful way to experience the wonders of Istanbul! - Our guide Gulsen was amazing. Her knowledge of the history of all the sites in Istanbul was incredible. Gusen was very friendly and helpful throughout the day, helping us find the special places and things to see and buy in the markets. I highly recommend Gulsen as your guide to the wonders of Istanbul. We travel all over the world and this was one of the best walking tours of a city, and Istanbul is a beautiful city to visit.
