Best Panaromic Istanbul Trip
I had booked the private trip via my hotel and it was the best decision ever.. Nesime was before time and we had a brief conversation where she asked me what was my interest and intention for the private tour.. She adapted and tailored the tour to my experience and no way did I feel rushed.. We covered a lot of the European side of Istanbul and post lunch she even took me to the Asia side of Istanbul.. Truly a fantastic experience and would recommend this tour to anyone interested..

Best private tour guides in Turkiye
I learned so much about Turkish history and culture through Nesi and Hassan of Robios Tours. They are not just tour guides but educators and ambassadors in their personal capacity for the wonderful country of Turkiye that is often misunderstood and wrongly portrayed by the West. Thank you so much for the patience in answering our endless questions and tolerating our endless picture-taking that stretched beyond the designated hours 🙂 My friends and I are already planning to see more of Turkiye next autumn. Nesi, let's stay in touch on Whatsapp. You will be indispensable on our next visit. Çok teşekkur ederim!

Tour of Instanbul
Our guide vastly exceeded our expectations. She was well educated and her knowledge of the places we visited and the surrounding culture was very much appreciated.
I have some friends traveling to Instanbul next month and have recommended her services!
