Loveliest tour guide ever!!

Tue_M, Feb 2026

Rose was incredibly lovely and enthusiastic as she took us through the history of Istanbul from some of its most significant landmarks. Her stories are engaging and thought-provoking, drawing connections between different eras and cultures. I learned so many things I never knew before like the connection between the Medusa and the Evil Eye, or the myth of Turkey's own queen of snakes. Highly recommend both this tour and the tour guide!!

Great tour and Rose was incredible

We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Rose, and she was incredible from start to finish! 🌟 She’s not only extremely knowledgeable, but also has such a warm and engaging way of sharing information. Rose took the time to explain everything in detail, answering questions with patience and enthusiasm. I learned so much thanks to her, and she made the experience both fun and fascinating. Her passion for what she does truly shines through, and it made all the difference. I would 100% recommend Rose as a guide—you won’t just see the sights, you’ll come away with a much deeper appreciation and understanding.
