We did a tour in Turkey and arranged a guide on the tourist locations and around the blue mosque, hage Sophia and the cistern which was informative. We also saw how rugs were made in a local shop. Over all very good experience

Wonderful job by our guide!!!!

Richard_P, Jun 2026

Our guide, Serkan Kececi for Istanbul was excellent, cordial, keen on history, kind in every respect . If you have an opportunity to use his guide services you will have a fine time, fondest memories, and great appreciation for the culture, the history, the foods, and an insight to the arts and crafts of Turkey. Delighted that we had this opportunity! If visiting in warmer weather, a scarf will keep one cooler than a hooded jacket.

Wonderful tour for family of 4 with teens

Jasmine_S, Mar 2026

Wonderful private tour for our family of 4 including two teens (13 and 15 yo). Very informative tour that was tailored to our family! Serkan was very nice and knowledgeable. He gave us the history of the city and the top sights we visited. We also asked to experience local culture (areas, shops, and food). Kids really enjoyed the stop to the local traditional ceramics shop where they were able to make pottery with one of the pottery masters! It was an experience they will never forget! Overall highly recommend!

6 Stars!

Janice_T, May 2025

This is the BEST private guided tour that we have ever taken. Serkan has extensive knowledge about the mosques and the Basilica, but more importantly introduced us to the culture and community of Istanbul. He spent an incredible 8 hours with us, and we were sad to say good bye!

Excellent tour and guide

Vicente_G, Apr 2026

Excellent private tour. Liz has made us feel great and we have learned a lot not only about the history and buildings visited, but also about the daily life and customs of Turkey.
