Eda MADE Istanbul memorable

8grbbqfkv4, Sep 2025

Hands down the ABSOLUTE BEST TOUR! Eda was amazing and personalized our tour to get us the best exposure to all the sights within our limited time at shore! But beyond that she was so friendly and knowledgeable it felt like we had been friends forever! She even treated US to Turkish bagels and coffee! Then she escorted us to the grand bazaar and made sure to bargain with the merchants to make sure we weren’t getting over charged! Loved the day and loved Istanbul because of her
