Duygu was a pleasure as a guide and very knowledgeable. She was on time and efficient and made sure we had a great feel for the city. Walking is clearly the answer in Istanbul and taking the tram. Would definitely recommend her as a guide and the family

Our tour guide Ozge was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable regarding the history of the mosques but also showed us things that were not on the itinerary. She helped with our shopping needs and even bought our small party a Turkish treat.

We got to experience the rich culture that has shaped Istanbul. Emre was a fantastic host, great clear communication even when we suffered a delay due to cruise terminal administration errors.

These monuments are a must, the cistern being my favourite from the day. Having priority to cut the lines is a must. Highly recommend.

Ugur was amazing! We were able to get off the ship early and beat the lines. You can tell that he genuinely cares and was very flexible. We love visiting local supermarkets when traveling and he happily obliged making suggestions on local products.

Seeing the highlights of Istanbul with Duyugu was everything I expected and more! All eight of us in our group enjoyed spending the day with Duyugu. She is very knowledgeable but more importantly, her bright personality and attentiveness is what sets her above the other guides I’ve met.
I would highly recommend Duyugu to any friends and family.

Finding ourselves with a 26-hour layover in Istanbul, due to a cancelled flight, we opted to make the most out of the delay. We hired Semih who was flexible in our tour time frame and provided us with an alternative schedule so we could experience the culture and history in our limited availability. We provided ideas of what we wanted to see and experience, and he proposed an itinerary that far surpassed our desires and expectations. He navigated us through streets and public transportation with such expertise, we wasted no precious time. He was aware of high visitor lines to the Haggi Sophia and by skillful planning had us arrive before the cruise ship tours arrived. This ended up being one of my most treasured stops. His knowledge of the history of Istanbul and its various landmarks we visited made each stop become "alive" to our little group. His enthusiasm spread over all of us. When we returned home and relayed the trip to friends, they had more of a desire to see Istanbul than the other parts of our European trip. I am grateful to Semih for his enthusiasm, knowledge and ability to listen to our time constraints and plan such a beautiful memory filled experience for us.

I had an incredible experience with our tour guide Aykut in Istanbul. Aykut's strategic approach to visiting busy attractions allowed us to make the most of our time in just one day. His impeccable time management skills ensured that we didn't miss out on any highlights. Moreover, his extensive knowledge of the history and culture of Istanbul enriched our visit immensely. From taking us to the finest restaurants to being incredibly considerate throughout the tour, Aykut exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to explore Istanbul with a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide."

The tour was 4 hours, but he continued throughout the afternoon. We had a great time and he was so informative about the historical time line of Istanbul. We would recommend him as a tour guide.
