Best Tour Ever! - One of the best tours I have taken in the 90 plus countries I have traveled to. Feruza was kind enough to meet me at my hotel that was an hour plus away. We visited Hagia Sophia & toured the area with delicious kebabs, Turkish meatballs, tea & baklava. I love the street feeling of Istanbul

The Best of the Best in Istanbul (Food Tour) - A private tour with Djhamel is the way to go! He met us at our hotel, accommodate us in every way from the time of our availability, food to eat, answered questions about Istanbul’s people, trend and culture. It was a great day to experience riding a tram and a ferry to the Asia side of Istanbul. Had various kinds of pides (pizza) and the best part for us was the ice cream at Mado. Djhamel knew who had the best pide and ice cream in town. The ice cream was very thick and creamy!!!! We also got a taste of the stuffed mussels, which was delicious and definitely different from all the mussels I’ve tasted in my life! If you’re a fan of the show, “Friends”, ask Djhamel to take you to this cute and trendy restaurant that has all the Friends’ memorabilia’s. Nice touch. Djhamel knew the best of the best. Even where to sit on the ferry so we can have the best view and learn more about Istanbul’s culture.
