Gaye is a wonderful guide. We had an amazing day with my family and our dear guide. She speaks fluent Spanish and was very informative. His deep knowledge of history made us enjoy every second of the tour. We will definitely be back!!
Gaye is friendly, friendly, honest, patient, and flexible. He has a lot of knowledge of history, and gives very good tips about restaurants, shopping or whatever you need in Istanbul. She builds a close relationship and becomes a local friend. We shared two intense days, where we learned a lot about history, culture, religion and delicious foods. We built with Gaye beautiful memories. Gaye made our experience in Istanbul unforgettable.

In October, we toured the historic peninsula with our guide Gaye and three friends. The guide was very punctual, friendly, polite and knowledgeable, but the best thing was that he provided us with quick tickets at Hagia Sophia, so we didn't wait at all. The weather was very nice and it was the best time for the trip. .
The best guide! In addition to showing us the places, she told us the whole story, she was super attentive and helpful with everything.
