Solo female travel to Istanbul. - I had an amazing solo business trip to Istanbul and spent two fantastic days exploring the city with a wonderful lady. Derya was charming, full of energy and really made the experience special. We didn’t just visit the tourist sites; we also had a blast exploring off the beaten path locations and, of course doing some shopping. It felt like I had known her for ages, and we’d already made plans for my next trip. If you’re heading to Istanbul, I highly recommend getting in touch with her for an unforgettable time in the city.

Amazing stopover tours in Istanbul - During our trip to Singapore, we had a long stopover in Istanbul, and we didn’t want to miss the chance to explore the city. To make the most of our time, we decided to hire a private guide, and after reading positive reviews on TripAdvisor, we came across Derya. She quickly responded and customized a two day itinerary that perfectly suited our interests. We got to see the major attractions of Istanbul, but she also took us to some hidden gems we would have never discovered. Her knowledge of the history and culture of the city was impressive, and she shared fascinating stories and insights about each place we visited. Moreover, she introduced us to the delicious local cuisine. We left Istanbul with a newfound appreciation for this beautiful city and its people.

Expertly guided tours in Istanbul. - We highly recommend Derya as a fantastic travel advisor and tour guide. It was great to have a female tour guide showing us around Istanbul. She was very organized and experienced, knowing every detail of Istanbul and Turkish history. In the Grand Bazaar, everyone seemed to know her and greatly respected her. We had a wonderful time touring the old and new city of Istanbul for two days. She even helped us organize our trip to Cappadocia as a bonus.

Wonderful service. - We used Off The Beaten Path Istanbul service for a short weekend trip to Istanbul after our friends had told us how amazing of a service they experienced with Derya. They designed a fantastic trip for us, and everything worked out great. We so enjoyed our trip and all the wonderful people we met. Derya took care of everything down to the last detail, suggestions of possible itineraries, don't miss places, and, particularly, interesting places to stay. We would highly recommend to anyone seeking for custom-designed tours without any hassle.
