Worth Every Dime - I cannot recommend this tour enough. It was honestly the highlight of our trip. We were able to do all of the major attractions in one day. Without feeling it. It was personalized to my husband and I’s tastes and interest. She asked all the right questions and made the experience effortless. Our tour guide was Qzge. Her knowledge and professionalism was only outshined by her amazing personality.. She met us at our hotel and then educated us on the train system, which came in very handy for the rest of our trip. Kindly offered to take all of our pictures and knew the best spots to get the most amazing veiws. Great shopping and food . Honestly so worth the money.

Samet private tour guide Istanbul - With only two nights and one full day to explore the beautiful old city of Istanbul, we were blessed to be in the good and reliable hands of Samet, an enjoyable highly experienced private tour guide. Moreover with his deep knowledge of all spectaculair cultural highlights of Istanbul, he showed us around in a pleasant and balanced way, without having a feeling to be in a rush. With his vinnesse and network he knows his way arround some of the queues sd well, which was welcoming :-). Lastly his Turkish coffee, thee, lunch and end of day drink locations were simply amazing!

Debbie Myers - Great tour and experience. Berat was an absolutely incredible tour guide! He took us to the places early with the lease lines and saved us an enormous amount of frustration and standing in lines for the mosques in the heat. He was extremely well educated and taught everything about his country and how it came to be from centuries ago. I highly recommend him if you can get him as your tour guide.
