    We saw such a wide range of the city and areas we wouldn’t normally see on our own. Kerem was a fantastic guide - very knowledgeable and engaging and flexible. We ate a lot (too much!) and finished feeling like we knew so much more about this beautiful place!

    Ayse is an exceptional tour guide. Her interpersonal skills combined with her knowledge and humour made for the most interesting 12 hours! The tour was fabulous - we really got to experience many and varied neighborhoods and sites of Istanbul. I highly recommend Ayse if you want to really experience Istanbul!

    Our entire experience exceeded our expectations. Kerem was a terrific guide and accomodated all our wishes throughout the day. We visited neighborhoods on both continents that would have taken us a week to figure out on our own, if ever. We ate at only the best and most historic locations - no you won’t go hungry on this tour.

    What a unique look at Istanbul. Metin Yilpaz took the small group of 3 tourists to the most interesting, out of the way places, on both the Europe and Asia sides. We ended in a traditional historical Turkish bath. Along the way, we ate the most delicious food and treats. Mr. Metin Yilpaz is knowledgeable, personable and kind. I am so happy I took this tour. It was a joy.

    Our tour guide Kerem was extremely insightful and made this tour highly interactive and very friendly. It felt like going out with friends for a walk rather than just a lot of information being thrown at you with a quick pic. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!
