Really set me up for a good stay, with knowledge and where everything is - The private guided tour was well worth it and more, as a solo traveller and first time to Istanbul I wanted to get a feel for the place and know where things are. We started off at my hotel to the hagia sofia mosque (my favourite place in Istanbul), then the Blue Mosque which is just next door.
Aft this was up to me, he showed me where the Grand bazaar was which I wanted todo another day. Took me in the Bailica Cistern, which was amazing cost 500 lire too enter. But having the use did not ned to queue. Not queuing was the thing to all sites as an official guide always kne other guides who where already buying tickets for their tourists, so he got mine. Learnt a lot about history, good places to eat or grab a coffee. Really set me up for a good break in Istanbul.

Private guide sightseeing Istanbul - a truly extraordinary experience using a private guide to enter mosques and museums and several other places because this service really cuts down our queuing time even though the costs are quite expensive, but if you have excess money then my advice is to use a private guide service like this one. will purchase tickets and and the most important thing is to cut the queue which is so long and wastes your time because if you have to queue normally without using a private guide like this it might take 2 hours for you to get into your destination and this woman is very, very kind and knows you well For all our purposes, thank you once again for the private guide services. by Dilek. Good JOB

Beautiful experience - Thank you for the beautiful experience at the Hagia Sofia! Dilek our guide she explained everything in the details, we skipped a huge line in the entrance and after that brought us also to Yerebatan Cisterne without any charge.
Super friendly and available for all the advice of this city !

if you need guided tour in Istanbul then I will definitely recommend her to be your guide … it’s totally worth it.!! - Dilek met us by chance… near Hagia Sophia… and I must say it was worth it. At the start of our conversation it was very professional but by end our guided tour we all became so friendly that she helped us out of the way for some other activities as well…

A pleasant surprise - We were lucky enough to encounter Dilek just as we arrived at the Hagia Sophia. The line was very long, but Dilek was able to get us in faster and give us an informative tour of the mosque. Afterwards, she took us to the cistern as well. She was polite, knowledgeable, and made our day special. I strongly recommend using her.

Learnings about Agyasofia - We were first sceptical of using a guide to visit Hagyasofia, at the end it was a great experience! Because of the complexity of this building's History but also due to its usage as mosq, we would have lost plenty of time without Dilek. She knows a lot about the place and the city and could tell us even more!
Many thanks and maybe a next time...

Guided tour - Dilek met us at our hotel on time and showed us hagia Sophia, hippodrome and Topkapi palace. Very well spoken and really nice and friendly. She explained all the historical events and facts of the places we visited. Very satisfied with the guided tour and would recommend to everyone wishing to see all these sites. She also helped throughout our stay via messages to keep us informed of other services or places
