Turkish Food Night and Rooftop Experience Istanbul

Cecilia_W, May 2026

Great Guide and Great Experience

Our group had a wonderful time with Şule tonight. I am quite familiar with Turkish food, but Istanbul is such a big city that you would not know where to start to get really authentic food that is not just for tourists. We started with a cig kofte tasting at a popular stand — the flavors were amazing. Then we walked to a lokman store and tasted specialty “Turkish delights”. Then, we we went in a van to have tea on a rooftop overlooking Suleymaniye mosque and the Bosphorus. We ended our evening with a multi-course meal of mezze, different kebabs and kunefeh and of course, tea. The restaurant also made a special meal for the vegetarian in our group. I highly recommend the tour because it takes you to places that are out of the way of the usual tourist spots. The view of the city from the rooftop gives you a perspective of the European and Asian sides of the city. Şule took the time to explain the food we were eating and answered other questions about Turkish culture. She truly enjoys being a guide.

Excellent tour guide in Istanbel

Nazan was an excellent private tour guide—professional, responsible, and very knowledgeable. She planned everything thoughtfully and made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Her English is excellent, and she explained Istanbul’s history and culture in a clear and engaging way. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time. Highly recommended!

Great tour!

Engi was a fantastic guide. She guided us through all the main sites in Istanbul to include the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cistern, Hippodrome and the Grand Bazaar!

We learned so much about the country of Turkey in general, in addition to the sites we visited. I highly recommend him and this tour.

A Day in Istanbul

What an amazing day we had with Renan in Istanbul! It was a rainy, dreary day but Renan brought some sunshine with her pleasant personality. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. She was informative and thorough. We saw the palace, blue mosque and the grand bazaar. She helped us navigate it all and we really felt like we learned a lot about Istanbul as well as the culture. The company picks up And drops off in very comfortable and roomy vans. An unforgettable experience.

Small Group Tour: Essential Istanbul

Jennifer_J, Dec 2025

More Than a Tour, A Truly Personal Experience

This tour ended up being just me, and it turned into one of the most meaningful experiences of my trip. Lale was absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly attentive. Beyond the historical and cultural depth she brought to Istanbul’s landmarks, she was immensely helpful as a solo traveler. She generously shared practical tips on language, customs, transportation, and what and where to eat, all in a way that felt thoughtful and personal rather than scripted. The pacing was relaxed, the conversation engaging, and the experience felt more like being shown the city by a trusted local friend than taking a formal tour. I truly appreciated her care and insight and look forward to staying in touch with her. I couldn’t recommend this tour, and Lale, more highly.

Istanbul to Gallipoli Full Day Tour with Lunch and Transfers

Tamara_L, Oct 2025

A great experience. Highly recommend.

The shuttle picked us up right on time. The vehicle was very clean. The leg room isn't the best so if you have long legs I would suggest taking the aisle seat to stretch out. The front seat was also available for someone to sit in. They drive very fast with the speed limit in some sections 130km but I'm sure they were going faster. The morning rest stop was ok with the toilets clean. The rest stop on the way home wasn't the best. We were given 20 minutes so not enough time to order in the restaurant at the petrol station so most people just bought a bag of chips. As we arrived back in Istanbul at 9.30pm after a very long day this would be our dinner. The included lunch when you arrive was ok. The actual tour of Gallipoli was amazing. To get an understanding of the terrain and the challenging conditions that the soldiers fought in was staggering. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to provide information from all perspectives. He also helped one tour member find the particular grave of a soldier ao they could lay a poppy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, its truly worth it.

Istanbul Off the Beaten Path Tour with Guide, Lunch and Transfers

Dennis_G, Sept 2025

A Fabulous Tour of Fener, Balat and other Areas off the beaten Track

This was a fabulous tour of some of the less-travelled areas of Istanbul (Fener and Balat) as well as the spice market and portions of the Grand Bazaar. We were the only people on the tour so our guide, Mohammed was able to make a few modifications to accommodate my wife who uses a car. He was very knowledgeable about the history of this area of the city, the peoples who once lived there and the architecture. The tour also included the Greek Orthodox Cathedral, the spice market and areas around the Grand Bazaar. I would highly recommend this tour
