I can only recommend this experience. - We enjoyed two days of guiding through Istanbul with our own itenerary (of course we finalized it with our guide) and at our own pace. It is great to be able to talk one to one about history, monuments, every day things, ....

Excellent historical journey through the ottoman empire - Sherif was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. His deep understanding of the history of the Roman and ottoman empires was extremely informative as we spent most of our time going through the palace. Taking us back to the time of sultans, we really appreciated how he painted the picture for our imaginations.

Knowledgeable guides make a difference - Our guide Erin was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about Istanbul, Turkey and the long history of the region. We were able to see all the major sites in one long day. It never seemed boring or slow. Erin answered all of our questions about the city, history, culture and daily life. Without a doubt I would recommend Erin to family and friends traveling to Istanbul

Entertaining, interesting tour. Wonderful guide - Ali Arslan was the best guide I’ve had in Istanbul. He was patient, fun, willing to go above and beyond the normal tour experience. I learned so much about Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire. At the end of the tour he even took us on an extra special excursion to a wonderful little bazaar that isn’t normally on the itinerary. Thank you Ali!
