I took the Topkapi tour with Ali, he is really friendly and speaks English well. We visited Hagia Irene, the palace, and the Harem with him. I highly recommend it.

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.

I had an incredible dinner on a cruise last night. It lasted for three hours, and every moment was magical. The food was exquisite, and the atmosphere was just perfect. There was even a live show during the meal, with music and dance, which made the evening so much more special

The day's highlight was Buse's explanation of the history. It is quite an intense history but she kept it light while delving into some of the gory historical Details. She also kept a large group Moving while giving everyone enough free time to take pictures. Thank you Buse!

We had a wonderful experience with Zeynep! The dervish show was truly nice, and her explanations made it much more meaningful and enjoyable. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared many useful tips and interesting information throughout the tour. The food recommendations were excellent—absolutely delicious—and the atmosphere was amazing, making the entire experience even more memorable. Thank you, Zeynep, for your professionalism, kindness, and passion. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable experience!
