9-Day Historical and Cultural Discovery in Turkey

Here is our review for the Istanbul portion as we are currently experiencing the rest of this itinerary. Nothing like arriving to Istanbul after a long international flight and have a private transfer waiting for you at the exit to take you to the hotel. Agate chose an excellent Hotel (Hotel Fer) which is centrally located in Istanbul old town and has excellent breakfast. We are very happy with the services of our private guide, Mehmet, who gave us a unique perspective on the historical sites visited. Thanks to his explanations, we understood well the Islamic rituals carried out during prayer at the mosques visited. We also got a very good understands of each site visited by his explanations. Mehmet also took us to try authentic Turkish cuisine as the restaurants we visited were not touristy at all, but places where the locals eat. Our drivers also did a great job I getting us to evening activities and airport transfer on time measuring well the local heavy traffic. Agate’s local travel partner is contacting us daily through WhatsApp to ensure all tours and transfers are proceeding smoothly. Thank you Agate Travel, Serkan, Mehmet, Mustafa, and the other drives for their excellent service. I highly recommend Agate Travel’s Turkey Tours. Will post review for the rest of the itinerary as we complete it.
