Our guide Husain was lovely, he genuinely seemed excited about what he was showing us, the highlight for me was the basilica cistern, unfortunately the Hagia Sophia was under construction.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and we got Gelo from another guide who sorted out our cruise tickets for us. The Blye Misque was mind blowing.

Went there to have a hammam experience in Istanbul, which I thought it would be very traditional, yet it was modernized enough. Otherwise the service was great, the therapist was very friendly, and the hammam is very clean and well maintained. Overall, I am satisfied.

It was really beautiful. The guide took the time to explain everything to us—it was Yacoub. I really have nothing but praise. Thanks again.

Experiencing Istanbul’s night tour was magical. The city’s iconic landmarks lit up beautifully, and the audio guide provided rich, fascinating details. It was smooth, relaxing, and an unforgettable evening. I highly recommend it!”

Michael was a great guide. I would have liked to be able to pick up our tickets for the palace and the boat tour that morning. In the morning, we had to follow the guide to enter the different parts of the palace. For the boat tickets, we had to go somewhere else entirely. We didn’t have the address of the new location where we were supposed to pick up the tickets. There was a serious lack of clarity and detail.
