Testimonials

Some love from our guests

★★★★★

It was very pleasant to get these crowded museum without struggling. After our guide (Can) welcomed us, we went on a perfect trip. Basilica cistern is a very interesting place. Everything was designed very successfully, even the most popular photo spots, our guide reminded us everywhere we went. Topkapi palace exceeded my expectations. Our guide, who shared very special information about the Ottoman kings, not only reassured us with his knowledge but also took us back in time with his interesting stories. The plan and programme were simple and we were even allowed to visit the museums as much as we wanted after the tour. I don’t think there is a more sensible activity in Istanbul.
