The guide was good and knowledgeable. But be careful about the transportation. We thought a car would be transporting us. But that wasn’t the case. Also make sure the sites are open when you plan to go.

Took the Istanbul Jewish Heritage Tour with my family in May 2024, and it was such a meaningful experience. The guide shared powerful stories and took us to places full of history and heart. We learned a lot, but it never felt like a lecture just really engaging and personal. It gave us a deeper connection to the city. Definitely worth it.

This was such a fantastic day! We booked the tour the 2 weeks before and the ForeverVacation team was quick to reach out to us on WhatsApp and confirm all the details. Everything was set up smoothly. Our guide, Tutya, met us in the morning at our hotel and took us all around the city. We learned a lot about the jewish heritage and saw some historic neighborhoods as well. Highly recommend this tour
