Our guide was Derya. She was knowledgeable and friendly. She selected just the right selection of foods and spots for casual drinks, tea, local food for us and patiently answered our questions of where to visit, where to buy stuff etc. Time just flew with her. It was as if we were visiting old friend first time on Istanbul. Her hospitality was fantastic. I would recommend anyone new to Istanbul to book the tour as it’s great way to start off your visit.

Our guide Derya was just amazing!!! It felt like we were exploring the local joints with a friend. She went above and beyond by taking us to places we wanted to see. She never rushed us from one place to another. She even planned our renaming stay for Istanbul. We came back to our hotel so satisfied. Our trip wouldn’t have been so enjoyable if he hadn’t met her!!
