Experience Day Trips in Istanbul with Withlocals

"What a perfect time we spent. Kadir was kind and understanding as a few of us had health issues Kadir really is a local with lots of people waving and saying hello. He helped a local elderly shop keeper unload his lorry of sacks vegetables. I can say from the bottom of my heart it was a great tour, taking us off the beaten track. With so much knowledge of history of this great city "

"This is not your typical experience. There were no tourist trails.....no fellow tourists..... and the only non-Turks were me and Mr Benoit himself. That's how real and authentic this experience was! Mr Benoit provided a private car and picked me up at my hotel in Florya. He drove me along the Marmara and the Roman city walls, through to the Asian side through the toll-tunnel under the Bosphorus. The Asian side was an experience to behold. Walking around Usukudar, he took me around the small alleyways, stopping by at a delightful shop that sold authentic local honey, the spice shops where i purchase all my local nuts and spices..... through the fish market. The sights, the sounds and the smells were out of this world!. He even brought me to a local restaurant where we sampled the mezze.... We strolled around the villages of the Asian side on the Bosphorus straits before hitting the road heading east to the ex-polish village of Adampol. We even went to the villages in Imrendere before heading to Sile. My goodness....the views, the scenery..... I can't begin to describe how breathtaking it was! He even took me around to Sakli G\u00F6l before heading back to the hotel. This was no ordinary trip!! You can't go wrong with Mr Benoit!.... He took time and effort to deliver a truly memorable 1st day in Turkey for me!! Thank you Mr Benoit!"
