The best! - We had the most wonderful day with Duygu. She took us to all the places we wanted to see, and went above and beyond any other guide. She was so full of fascinating information, and totally considered what we wanted to do. We couldn’t recommend her more.

The best of Istanbul … - Duygu ‘Made’ our trip to Istanbul. She was so well organised and prepared for each attraction - and this really facilitates every visit. She has a lovely cheerful personality and her local knowledge superb. We were sorry to leave her at the end of our tour.

Great private tour of Roman sites in Istanbul - Semih was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We gave him a list of sites and experiences that we wanted to see and do and he very skillfully made our visit very enjoyable.

Private Custom Tour -Istanbul - Most Excellent tour of Topkaki Place in Istanbul. Semih Gumusay was our terrific tour guide who was super knowledgeable and worked with us to design a custom private tour. Highly recommended!!!

Knowledgable guide, interesting tour - Great tour, exactly what we wanted. Tour guide adapted the tour to our preferences, so we saw the things we were interested in and left out the things that weren’t of so much interest to us. Would definitely recommend

3 Wonderful Days in Istanbul - First, Semih G was our tour guide over 3 days for a group of 6. He was terrific. Very knowledgable, very flexible adapting to our wishes and energy levels. He was always on time and arranged our airport transport too. We saw several mosques, the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market, a cruise on the Bosphorus, the Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern, nice shops and great eateries. We were very happy with this tour and recommend Semih very highly. One of the best tour guides in all our years of travel. Gwen and Mark E.

Great people who worked with us to devise best use of limited time! - We were on a cruise. It was advertised with overnight stay in Istanbul. Then they changed the times. We arrived at 4pm and left the next day at 1pm. Duygu worked tirelessly with me to help us see and do as much as possible in two half days. Our guide Emel spoke English perfectly. She was extremely knowledgeable, informative, friendly and funny. We had a great time. We saw the Hippodrome, Obelisks, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, city walls and small bazaar. The next day we explored Topkapi Palace and then the Grand Bazaar. What an experience. There is crazy traffic in Istanbul. Because of Emel’s knowledge we were able to navigate the traffic and get to the sights in such a way as to avoid the heaviest crowds. I highly recommend them. If I am fortunate enough to travel to Turkey again, I will definitely be contacting them.
