Privérondleiding Best of Istanbul Tour 1,2 of 3 dagen

We had a one-day Peninsula tour with our guide Pınar, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. We were picked up from our accommodation with a transfer, which made everything very convenient. We explored the entire historical peninsula with excellent time management and without feeling rushed. Pınar’s knowledge, explanations, and storytelling were truly impressive and engaging. As a group of 11 people, we were all extremely satisfied with the tour and learned so much. We highly recommend this experience!

The tour was very pleasant and informative. Onur was incredible and he effortlessly arranged for us to visit places and understand the complex history of Istanbul in ways that we could never have done for ourself. Our only regret is not having more time to enjoy a multi-day tour.

We were picked by Hazel and her driver and they stored all our bags on the van all day while Hazel walked us and showed us all the magnificent sites. She had so much history and information that it was a full day of learning and being awestruck by both Istanbul and Hazels knowledge. Thank you so much and we 4 highly recommend you do this!!

We had the pleasure of touring Istanbul with Pinar, and she was a truly wonderful guide. I was traveling with my parents, and she showed us around the Old City, including the Blue Mosque, as well as on a Bosphorus cruise. She was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the history and culture of the city come alive for us. Our driver was prompt, the car was clean, and everything ran smoothly, but it was really Pinar who made the experience so memorable. I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Istanbul!

I had an amazing experience in Istanbul with Hazel as our guide. She’s super knowledgeable, really helpful, and honestly, she brings sunshine to even the cloudiest days. The itinerary was well thought out, especially if you’re someone with lots of energy and ready to explore. My only small suggestion would be to visit a more reputable Turkish Delight store, like Hafiz Mustafa or Haci Bekir, for a better experience. Other than that, Hazel made the trip so enjoyable. Two thumbs up and a solid 5 stars for her!

We had the most beautiful 12 days in Turkey due to our phenomenal guide Pinard Cinkaya. Pinard has a wealth of knowledge to share about the region and cities we were visiting. She explained the historical background and the current situation of the region. She was courteous and considerate, giving us numerous washroom breaks. We referred to heras the lady with the umbrella, walking fast but then holding up her umbrella for us to catch up to her. The whole group had a fantastic time in Turkey and would not mind doing the trip again. Bravo Pinard

Lovely place to visit. Especially when accompanied by an expert and friendly tour guide from Temple Travel. Ms Nadzli was very knowledgeable explaining the places that we went in English regarding Türkiye history.

Josh was very communicative, punctual and thoughtful when it came to tailoring the two days of touring to me. His historical knowledge was excellent and he was able to tune to the level of detail I was looking for. I'm a fast paced walker and like to see lots during a day and we were able to accomplish that. We were able to skip the line for most of the venue entries and otherwise having a native speaker was invaluable when buying tickets or understanding security screening requirements. I also received some great recommendations for after the day's agenda that saved me hours of my own research.

Sercan Gulsumoglu is a very knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. His knowledge was not only comprehensible but also had interesting comments ! He explained all the types of foods that we should try for a real Turkish experience. He was alway happy thoughtful!

Our trip to Istanbul was amazing and we saw and learnt so much from our tour guide Sercan Gulsumoglu on our private 2 day tour. Sercan explained everything so clearly and we saw so much in our short stay. Sercan is patient, smart, accommodating, personable and listened and understood our needs. We are so fortunate to have him as our guide. He is by far the Best Guide we ever had. If you ever visit Istanbul you must request for Sercan Gulsumoglu as your guide!
