"If we could give Esra 20+ stars and hearts we would . She is amazing ! In the whole process she became family. She is the one! We love her and can't wait to comeback. If someone else is looking for Tour in Istanbul with a real Pro who knows her stuff clearly esra must be your choice!"

"Mine was very friendly and knowledgeable, and provided a lovely tour of the biggest attractions in Istanbul. She was also helpful in finding a nice place to eat afterwards. She made us feel comfortable and took our interests into account while doing the tour. Thank you Mine!"

"Ahmet is an amazing guide and will show you this incredible melting pot of cultures and history. His communication was excellent and he will tailor your time with him to any kind of tour you want. We booked him for the day and trusted his expertise and we were rewarded with not waiting in a single line. He shares his extensive knowledge and truly enjoys when you ask questions. He took us to all the important historical sights and an excellent restaurant for lunch and pointed out others for us to try on our own. We now have a friend in Istanbul and he has two more friends in Chicago. I couldn’t write a review to do him justice I only wish I had booked him for two days because we could have talked for days. "

"We had a wonderful day with Abdullah, very knowledgeable but also fun and light hearted."

"We spent our first day in Istanbul with Oguz to get an overview of the city, culture and history. He fully delivered. We covered a lot of ground in 9 hours together. Oguz is very knowledgeable and had some great recommendations. The restaurant we went to for lunch on the Asian side was the best Turkish food we had in the city. Thank you for showing us Istanbul "

"Aysa is great. Very personable and able to answer every question we asked. You can't go wrong with Aysa as your guide."

"We (couple) loved our all day tour with Emre. In the morning we went to The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and the first garden area of the palace (free part). Along the way we stopped in the Hippodrome and other interesting places in the Old City. Emre's presentation of the history of the City including stories was quite enjoyable. We then turned the afternoon over to Emre to show us places he thought we should see. He took us to the Taksim Square area. We walked and ate Turkish street food for lunch (best meal of our trip!). We rode three different versions of public transportation throughout the day. His personal stories were a highlight. Emre has a nice way about him and infectious love for his city and country. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Emre."

"Esra was great. Just wanted to show us Istanbul from a locals point of view. Listened to what we wanted to see and avoided areas we did not want or had made other arrangements to see. Very passionate, no rush finished later than anticipated due to us wanting to see more. Esra, as discussed when you are in London later this year let me know and I will show you things to see that are not in the tourist guide books! Thank you Tony & Cathy"

"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day tour with Emre. He tailored the tour for what we wanted to experience. He’s very knowledgeable about the history of Istanbul as well as many other topics. He’s very personable. I would definitely book a with him. "

"We had a great time with Gülce – informative, yet not overwhelming with facts and dates. She is very knowledgeable and helpful, not only about history and sightseeing, but also with recommendations for restaurants, hammams, and areas to explore after the tour. We would definitely recommend her. "
