Nese was the best....

Dominic_P, Jun 2025

Nese was the best. Distilled the history of key places to their core... Volumes of potential reading. She is easy to get along with and seems as if we had a friend just chatting about the place and its wonders. Will definitely call her again in our next trip here.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Dominic, thank you so much for the very nice review. I had a lot of fun showing you guys around. You were so easy going and fun to be with. Look forward to seeing you in Istanbul again someday. All the best, Nese.

Fabulous Taste of Istanbul

Nico, Sep 2023

Superb, tailor-made tour. Extremely knowledgeable guide who made the historical facts come to life. A taste of Istanbul, including points of interest we would have missed if touring independently. A fabulous way to see the highlights.
