Amazing Tour of Balat

Anthony_C, Aug 2026

My friend and I had a great experience on a tour with Tulay. We were running a little late because we got a little lost on our way to the meeting area and Tulay was kind enough to wait for us and make sure we found our way alright. When the tour began at Chora Museum, she was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. She gave us great background information and was kind enough to answer our follow up questions. She gave great recommendations on where to shop and eat in the area. Overall, she made our tour extremely enjoyable and the time just flew on by.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

We truly appreciate your kind words about her knowledge, patience, and hospitality. We are especially pleased that she was able to assist you in finding the meeting point and make the tour both informative and enjoyable. Your feedback means a lot to our team, and we will be very happy to share your lovely comments with Tulay. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Istanbul and Turkey again in the future! Warm regards, Gamze
