Wonderful Experience - It was terrific. Mrs Renan was knowledgeable, charming and gracious. She brought Istanbul to life for us! Because we are an older couple, she paced things so that we could move at our own pace but still see everything. It was an excellent experience.

A wonderful time In Instanbul. - We only had a couple of days in Instanbul and were fortunate to have Renan as our private guide. We were greeted on time in the hotel foyer and requested to see the major attractions of the city. With no hesitation our itinerary was planned and we were ushered into a very clean and lovely van. Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazzar was our itinerary. Renan is fluent in English and was able to navigate the queues to ensure we got to the front of the line. This was wonderful as it was very busy. Her sharing of knowledge made the tour interesting and she knew the best places to take photos and major points of interest. She even provided me with a scarf. At the Grand Bazaar she knew the best stalls and helped barter. Not knowing the currency very well she insured I was charged the correct amount. Renan was kind and caring. She took us to a wonderful place for a late lunch which enabled us to share more information about the city.

Great experience with Idyll. - We traveled with 2 couples and had an amazing time. We saw so many things and walked a lot. Got to experience an authentic meal and it was delicious. Idyll was a wonderful guide and so knowledgeable and was happy to answer our questions. I would highly recommend.

Unforgettable istanbul - Excellent tour of mosques and shrines by a knowledgeable and energetic host. Highly recommended Eda!!

Great guided tour of Istanbul! - Our guide Nazmiye Ergul picked us up at our hotel. She asked us a few questions about our interests and what pace we would like. She then tailored the tour to our preferences. She let us set our pace, spending as much time as we wanted at each site, and moving more quickly when we wanted. She also showed us where we could buy things we were interested in, and recommended a perfect spot for lunch. She shared information about life in Istanbul in general as well as being very well informed about each site and its history. We would definitely recommend this tour and this particular tour guide.

Fan & educational tour - We had a great and so much fun with our guide Idyll. She made this tour so much more enjoyable with her story and input from traveling all over the world herself. We really appreciated and enjoyed her perspective. She made this tour very unique and special.

A great guide showed us... - A great guide showed us in one day what others would take several. We asked him to leave us to take the boat in the woods and I wait until he left himself

Wonderful Private Tour - Omer, our guide was a gem! He planned our day, accommodating our needs and wants to perfection. He was very knowledgeable and spoke well. It was so much better than taking a group tour!

Tour of Istanbul - We had an amazing tour of Istanbul with Omer! He was super friendly, easy to talk to, and really knew his stuff. He showed us all the main sights plus some great local spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. Everything was relaxed and fun, and we learned so much along the way. Highly recommend Omer if you want a great day exploring Istanbul!

Very rushed. Running to... - Very rushed. Running to catch up. No interest in rug demo/sales she was pushing. Unable to locate pickup vehicle and very tiring trying to find it in traffic.
