Our guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She answered all our questions patiently. She even extended the tour to show us how to go to the cruise. Thank you very much. We appreciate this service and tour.
We always love guided tours, easy to understand the nature of the country you visit. Rose is an excellent guide, I highly recommend her. We had a very pleasant tour with her.
This was one of the best guided tours we have ever had. Our guide was full of information and hkidtory of this marvelous city. We highly recommend booking her.
Thank you for the great sightseeing Rose. We are all happy to join the tour, we learnt a lot from you. You're the best guide ever. Regards
Rose was very knowledgeable, friendly, and open to adjusting the tour according to our needs. Also great communication and recommendations (lunch restaurant post-tour).
I cant say enough good things about TG and her experience. Not only did I see everything I wanted to, but she gave a local feel for the city. As a solo female traveller I felt comfortable, safe and well taken care of. Not only did I have the best day ever but felt as though I made a friend :) highly recommend for anyone who wants a private tour of the city and especially for anyone who is travelling solo.
Our guide was very knowledgeable, fun and well organised. We covered several culturally important and meaningful experiences thanks to his familiarity with the sites and great use of time. He also provided us extra tickets on our wish so we could skip the lines after the tour. Highly recommend this guide and this experience!
This is a solid, no-BS tour of Istanbul’s main attractions. We came in the offseason and explored the city with TG on a rainy, windy day. But we still managed to enjoy ourselves and learned the hidden history behind Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, etc. TG is knowledgeable and decent. Recommend to anyone trying to get a lay of the land in Istanbul or looking for an efficient way to do all the sights in one fell swoop!
Old town is cool! We visited Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, topkapi palaca, grand bazaar and hippodrome with Rose and took lunch afterwards. She explained everything very detailed
Rose was a lovely host. She really knew the in’s and out’s of Istanbul. We only had a half day to learn about the city and we left knowing a good bit more about it. Thank you!
