Our guide Renan Saylag met us at our hotel and gave us a choice, two cruise ships in Istanbul and so long queues at the major sites. She took us on a wonderful 6 hour tour of the alternative Istanbul. Round the backstreets, into local shoe makers ( and handbags). We absolutely loved it. When we return we will ask for Renan, a great guide, enthusiastic about her city and country. Plus she is a lovely person.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering the alternative side of Istanbul with Renan and that the experience exceeded your expectations. It is wonderful to know that her enthusiasm, local knowledge, and personal approach made your tour so memorable. We will gladly share your lovely words with Renan, as feedback like yours is truly appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit to Istanbul.
We visited three of the most iconic visitor sites in Istanbul with our guide, Omar. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and spoke with us about other places we might visit on our trip with information about how to get there and suggestions of places to eat. We ended our tour with a visit to the Bazaar and again had information about the shops within and outside the bazaar and tips about safety etc.
We toured Topkali Palace, Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern. Our guide Sharif, arrived promptly at 0900 with a driver. Sharif was cordial and friendly and spoke English very well. We began the tour at Aya Sofia. Sharif gave us lots of details and history. Considerable time at Topkali Palace with lots of details and history. The Basilica Cistern is amazing. The Blue Mosque is beautiful and Sharif gave us a lot of information about Islam and customs. We skipped the Grand Bazaar with Sharif because we had already gone there. As the tour ended after 8.5 hours, Sharif took us by tram to a great restaurant we had previously found. The tour was very good with almost overwhelming information and sights. Saw these things one could see no other way. Sharif was a great guide. He gave detailed information and he was considerate. He knew site employees who often let us walk around long lines. Recommend this highly.
Dear Stan, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with your guide Mr Seref. It’s fantastic to know that his information, attitude, and perfect timing made your tour so enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another tour in the future. Warmest Regards
I paid money for nothing, I called them and no body answered me. You people just making money. What a pity.
Dear Arfa, Our tour guide was on time to welcome the guest, He waited more then an hour and he left after he asked the hotel reception and reception said that there wasnt any guest registered with this name! We have proved that the client is not correct. We ask you to delete this review cause its not true! and it damage our reputation... Thank you for your understanding
