I have been visiting Istambul for the last 9+ years; all the time I had to keep myself checked for tourist traps while using travel guides or transfer services. My experience changed when I met Semih Bora. He was a soft-spoken gentleman with a not-too-pushy attitude. My Family loved traveling with him and seeing different sides of Istambul. Semih was on top of all my travel needs and van requirements. I had to change the van size to a bigger size due to luggage issues. My Daughter was traveling alone and joining us late from the USA. Semih made it simple for us by arranging another van since our traveling time was different and I would have been stuck in Istambul traffic for hours to get back to the airport to pick her up. We will definitely be using him again and will be our permanent go-to person for all our travel needs in Istambul.
