Perfect Introduction to Istanbul - We had a wonderful experience exploring Istanbul. With the days we had, we were able to visit the main historical and cultural sites of the city. Our guide, Kaan, was very kind and helpful. He guided us around the city in a way that made us feel comfortable and confident, and soon we were able to move around on our own. He also gave us great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit, which made a big difference. His knowledge of the history of Istanbul and Turkey helped us understand what we were seeing and made the experience much more meaningful. We truly enjoyed our time and highly recommend this tour.

Very enjoyable informative day out in a city we have not visited previously - we'll be back! - Emir met us at our hotel and explained the plan for our day together which we could adapt if we wished. Luckily his English was very good ( we have no Turkish!) and he was very knowledgeable and informative on a range of topics. He gave us a charming insight into Turkish life and an historic perspective. We would thoroughly recommend him as a tour guide.

Day in Istanbul - We had a great day in Istanbul with Sedat. He was a very informative guide, and brought to life the Hagia Sophia, Blue mosque and Bosphorus boat trip we did together.

Special memories made in Türkiye - Wow what a memorable holiday arranged by Fatih and his team at Bonita Tours. Fatih is super professional answering all our questions with patience and expertise. Especially loved the tour guide Kadir in Istanbul and our tour guide in Ephesus. Everything was done superbly well. I will definitely use Bonita Tours again.

Turkey, live it to tell! - Being part of this travel group to Turkey was an unforgettable experience! The professionalism and responsibility of Fatih, organizer, as of Hatice, our guide, allowed us to feel safe at all times and made us able to transport ourselves in time and know the history of each place of the different cities through which we toured. Thank you so much for making Turkey stay in our hearts!!!!
