Had an awesome time today learning and exploring the new and old city! Definitely wear your comfortable walking shoes! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly! Great to talk to throughout the tour and knew all the best spots to take pictures!

Great Overview of Istanbul must See sites.

What a great experience this tour was! Rose is highly knowledgeable, she made history sound very interesting and gave me a great appreciation of the history of this country. She was very accommodating with my time and purpose of the walking tour. She even taught me how to get the metro and go back home. Whether you have limited time in Istanbul or you wanna have an overview before deciding where you want to spend more time of your time, this is the perfect tour. I highly recommend.

What an AMAZING person and experience!

This tour guide was THE BEST experience for those who appreciate a warm, kind, well-informed, magical experience of learning about Istanbul, its history and and it's layers of mythology, anthropology and adventure... Turkish hospitality and warmth; and for those of you who want to understand the richness of the sites... this is THE tour guide!!!

A beautiful mini tour

I had one day stopover at Istanbul, courtesy Turkish Airlines business class stopover program and I decided to sign up for a walking tour and glad I did it with Elif. Elif was my tour guide and was in touch with me two days before the tour in Istanbul. She had sent me meeting point instructions promptly before the tour started. I was delayed by an hour or so but she patiently waited at the meeting point sending me instructions on time. The tour included all the places advertised, however we could not spend time or visit grandbazar because of clock. I felt like I was meeting up with an old friend. Elif had incredible historical knowledge of the culture, city, customs and traditions. She also helped me reach my next destination at a cruise pickup point. I wish I had more time to walk more around the city, relax a bit with some turkish coffee. Thanks Elif for the tour on your birthday. Hope to see you soon again!
