A great introduction to Istanbul. - Emre, our guide, did a great job of assessing our needs and capabilities and taking us to experience those older parts of Istanbul that were never going to see with our tour party. What a wonderful beginning to our holiday.

The most relaxing way to learn Turkish history - After two days of walking tours, it was nice to have a private bus (for our tour group) shuttle us around for the day. Our tour guide was fantastic and we learned a lot of Turkish history from him. He also had the perfect mix of guiding and explaining vs giving us time to ourselves to look and discuss on our own. All in all, a very nice day.

Amazing Tour With Mr Emre Önal - Bismillah It was our great holiday and tour in Turki with Mr Emre Önal was our tour guide. We went to see beautiful Bursa and it’s beautiful snowy mountain. We cruised the strait of Bosporus up to Buyukada. Staying in Istanbul was also a great chance to visit historic sites of Anatolia, including Blue Mosque, and its surrounding area. We also went to visit a great history site of Abu Ayoub Al Anshari. Spices market, grand market were among other places that were so enjoyable we have visited. Turki keeps a lot of beautiful and historical sites to visit. We also went to Kayseri, Cappadocia and had opportunity to visit our Australian friend living in Nevsheher. In general, Turki is very beautiful, the creativity of it people. The Turkish people were very welcoming by offering us with different democratic choices of tea, black tea, apple tea, etc. Love to come back one day Alhamdulillah

Best Tour Guide in Istanbul - Emre and his team are awesome. They were professional, flexible and reliable. I booked a group tour for my family and friends as part of my wedding weekend. We had 40 guests and they all had an amazing time. The buses were clean and the tour was exceptional. I would recommend them a 100 times!!! Don’t hesitate, send Emre a message and book the tour!!

MAGICAL CONNECTION OF THE TWO CONTINENTS - Bosphorus itself a magical place and to have the trip to two continents is an additional charm. You can enjoy the difference of the tow civilization watching the old and old cultures. Asian and Western touch is visible. Traveling under the Bosphorus bridge is interesting and it reminds you Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco

Not bad - Boat ride was great . Lunch was incredible . Other stops were just average . It could have included a major sight like Grand bazaar or the Sofya
