This was a great experience. We saw most of the highlights of Istanbul with Beyhan. She showed us everything we wanted to see. We tried some Turkish food that the locals have as well. Really enjoyed it despite being so jet lagged 😂

Best highlights tour of old Istanbul.
We had a six hour layover in Istanbul. I couldn't NOT see the highlights. While the meeting with the transfer was a bit crazy, the transfer went smoothly. Once in the city, we meet Beyhan. We told her we had less than the allotted time and what we wanted to see. She was quickly able to modify her schedule and off we went. Her English was excellent for which we were grateful as we had not a lick of Turkish. As a retired World History teacher, I was finally able to see, hear, and experience things I had taught about for 30 years. Beyhan arranged with the driver to make sure we got back to the airport with plenty of time to get our next flight. What a dream come true.

Thank you for sharing such a meaningful review! Seeing the places you taught about for 30 years must have been a very special experience, and we’re delighted Beyhan helped make that dream come true.
We’re sorry the initial transfer meeting felt a little hectic, but we’re pleased the journey went smoothly. Beyhan will be happy to hear how much you appreciated her English, flexibility, and coordination with your driver to get you back to the airport with plenty of time.
We hope to welcome you back for a longer stay and more discoveries in Istanbul!

Excellent Intro to Istanbul with Burak
We had an excellent tour with our guide, Burak! Our tour was 4 hours long in the evening. Burak is very knowledgeable about the history of Istanbul and Turkey. We learned a lot! This was an excellent introduction to Istanbul without feeling rushed. Burak quickly figured out what things we might be interested in seeing…and he was 100% spot on. Highly recommend!

Wonderful day
We had the best day in Istanbul, all thanks to our wonderful guide Beyhan. We were able to see a lot in just a few hours and cannot wait to come back! Beyhan was able to work with our requests to see certain sites and skip others and she even took us to a restaurant for lunch!
The only thing to note is that the driver on the way back to the airport drove a bit too fast/recklessly so that can be improved upon. But the tour itself was phenomenal and I would highly recommend it if you have a layover in Istanbul.

Wonderful guide
While there were some hiccups in the initial meetup instructions, Beyhan more than made up for it. She made it feel like a friend was showing you around Istanbul. The walking tour was a wonderful experience because you got to see the beautiful city from the perspective of a local who knows her stuff.

Wonderful day in Istanbul.
This was my second experience with this company. Beyhan was such a lovely tour guide. Sweet, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I had a great time at Hagia Sophia, both Bazaars, loved the Bosphorus ferry ride and experiencing the city on both sides. Very happy with pick up/drop off at airport. Highly recommend.

After purchasing, the tour operator contacted me right away via Whatsapp. The pickup at the airport was quick and efficient. I was dropped off and met by my guide at the city center for the walking tour. Omar was excellent, with a wealth of knowledge of history of Istanbul. Overall a great experience and definitely recommend
