Rich culture and beauty - We covered all the basics and checked off our list the important monuments in Istanbul. We would’ve never been able to do it ourselves and this touring company made it best for us. We paid for personal transportation separately with their help and our guide and driver were very friendly. We will refer them to our friends and family.

Asian side this time - People are starting to travel again so the traffic has increased a lot in the city. We’ve been to Istanbul before during the height of covid and it was like having the whole city to ourselves but this was also a nice experience to see all of the hustle and bustle. We wanted to explore most of the Asian side this time around because we did all of the European side last time. It was less busier imo and just like the European side, so much beauty and hidden gems. We used a different company last time and decided to go for a different experience and they were in point from every single angle. Recommend these guys for sure for a really wonderful tour.

Top notch service - It is not easy to find a nice touring company in this city because there are sooo many of them. We tend to shy away from top companies, nothing against them, but if your name shows on top then everyone is calling you so hang might take away from a personable feeling. We are so glad that we found love is Istanbul tours cos they gave us all the time in the world and so much one on one experience throughout all of the main attractions. Gosh, this city has so much to offer with history and beauty. This is definitely our destination of choice from now on. Thanks guys for making this an amazing trip.
