A Magical, Memorable Private Tour

Frank_D, Nov 2024
Our half-day tour of Istanbul was a delight thanks to Emre, of Istanbul Voyage Travel which we booked through Viator Tours. Emre is not only the guide he also drove us. He is very knowledgeable and told a lot of stories about the city, and kept us at a fast pace so we could see all that we were hoping to see plus much more.We saw and learned a great deal in our five hours. He's been doing this for many years, knows everybody, and took us to best places to get photos . The Topkapi palace was the highlight for me as well as the Basilica Cistern. We were so pleased he respected our time without wasting it on shopping excursions . He is a true professional as a guide as well a great driver!

The Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cistern were amazing sites. Shopping at the Grand Bazar was so memorable along with a lovely meal and conversation with Coskun during lunch were great and memorable experiences.

Our guide Gunesh was spectacular. Very polite and met our needs in an extremely professional way. Many cult could provide us with accurate and rich information about the places we visited and the history of Turkey. He speaks perfect Portuguese. It made everything very pleasant.
