The arrangements for everything were very easy to make. We had good input into the tour. Our guide picked us up from the hotel. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining everything. We enjoyed our day and would definitely use them again.

There were 3 of us who were so incredibly fortunate to have arranged in advance a private tour of the Highlights of Istanbul done over two days with Hati ce as our guide. The tour had its challenges as one of the members had decreased mobility and the other became ill part of the way through. In spite of these issues, Hati ce gave us a very special and warmly personal tour including the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and grounds, the Spice Market, the Hippodrome, and the Bulgarian St. Stephen Iron Church. We were also able to have a brief auto tour of the city. Additional cultural experiences were highlighted by exposure to some of the unique cuisine of Türkiye culminated by an amazing meal at Deraliye Terrace Restaurant. Lastly, Hati ce went well above her tour guiding responsibilities and showed a deep caring for us by working with a local hotel who lost our reservations forcing us to relocate away from the Hagia Sophia area. Considering the minimal English skills and disorganization of that hotel staff, we could have been left stranded.
In summary I highly recommend a private Istanbul tour, mostly on foot, that can be completely tailored to your wishes and, in particular, have a tour led by Hati ce who leaves you with a sense of being part of her family when the time with her is finished.

My guide was the wonderful Emel.
She ensured I was safe, comfortable and well taken care by everyone in this 1 day adventure around the city of Istanbul. She is beyond knowledgeable about the history of this city, she will tell you exactly which is the best angle and moment to take a picture, what's the best restaurant, hammam... time of the day to visit so & so. She made me feel extremely welcomed. I'm taking away from this experience not just some culture but precious memories of a warm and friendly Turkey. I highly recommend Emel and thank her for all of her loving care.

Özge was an amazing personal guide around Istanbul. Without her, we would have missed so much. The entire tour was generous and informative. Perfect pace, no wasted time, and endlessly fascinating. It’s not just about the pix but also the insights leading up to modern Istanbul. We could not be more happy about this experience. Thanks for a phenomenal introduction to an incredible city!!

The whole tour was well thought out and highlighted all of the best places to see in Istanbul from mosques to palaces to quaint streets etc. we also managed to fit in a stop at a superb authentic ice cream parlor. Our guide was entertaining and enthusiastic and very accommodating of our requests. A must do trip.

We arranged a two-day private walking tour in Istanbul with Emel before our Gate-1 tour begins. It was a fantastic experience as we can choose the tour which won't duplicate the places where the Gate-1 would take us to later. Emel is very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide, we walked 34,000 steps on the first day covering the Europe side of the Istanbul with a very nice local restaurant for lunch. On the second day, we visited the palace and took the ferry to the Asia of the the Istanbul. I highly recommend a private tour while you are in Istanbul if you want to experience the insight of the city.

This was a brilliant day out. Our guide was fantastic, very informative and nothing was any trouble for him. The best thing being a small party was that we could go at our own pace and adapt the tour depending on crowds and best time to view sites and buildings.
I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Istanbul.
