“We had an incredible experience on our tour in Istanbul with Kadir as our guide. It was our first day in Turkey and also our first time visiting, and Kadir helped us get our footing right away. His deep knowledge of art history and Turkish culture made such a difference. He didn’t just recite facts; he brought everything to life and really helped us understand and appreciate the historical sites we visited, including ones we might have overlooked on our own. He also customized the tour to match our interests, which made it even more enjoyable. We learned so much and felt more connected to the city thanks to him!”

“I would entirely recommend this service. I booked the basic service and a massage afterwards. The staff wasn’t extremely polite. The spa was gorgeous. The services were good however, my only recommendation is I requested a deep tissue massage and the pressure was not enough. However, the staff Was very sweet and accommodating. I would go back.”
Old City mosques and churches, Sultanahmet lunch, and a Bosphorus sunset cruise with pickup, air-conditioning, and tea on board.
“The tour did not stop at any of the stops listed and I am incredibly disappointed that I only had one day in Istanbul and did not see the main sites I was hoping to see including Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapl Palace, and Balat. The only things that matched were going to lunch and taking the sunset cruise on the Bosphorus. Instead of stopping at the stops listed on the itinerary, we stopped at Uskudar- Kisikli Mh, Camlica Republic Mosque, Beylerbeyi Sarayi, Eyup Sultan Mezarligi, none of which were listed on the itinerary or places I was looking to see.”

It was nice to have him meet us at the location of our choice and then lead us from here to there, minimize wait times and just make sure that we squeezed in what we wanted to before anything closed. It made for a stress-free experience which was the goal on our last day in Istanbul. I would definitely book Aydin again!”
