Absolutely Convenient Way to Experience Turkey - The OtherTours Istanbul made our visit absolutely enjoyable and convenient! They accommodated our requests such as changes in the itinerary prior to and during the actual tour, and made sure that we saw Turkey’s (Istanbul and Ephesus) highlights even if we had a senior in a wheelchair and a 3 year old. Special shoutout to our guides Omer (Istanbul) who ran to buy drinks for us while we were in the van stuck in traffic and even willingly helped in pushing the wheelchair, and Gokhan (Ephesus) for sharing so many historical facts. Would absolutely recommend them to those who want to have a hassle-free time in Turkey!

Top-Quality Tour — 10/10 Experience - Honestly, the best part of our Istanbul trip was having a tour guide who truly cared. Fatih and Meltem was so patient with us, answered every question, and made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. Such a beautiful experience — thank you for everything. Thank you and looking forward to our next trip soon.

A comprehensive walking tour of Istanbul - Emish was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide clearly very familiar with Istanbul and its long history. He was also a personable individual able to engage easily with others. I have no doubt he will develop his skills in the years ahead and become a first class guide for the benefit of visitors to the great city of Istanbul.
