Get a guide! - Amazing day with Unal! He totally got us. He knew just where to go when, timed it all perfectly and made for effortless enjoyment of the astounding historical peninsula. His knowledge made the day so perfect. We would have missed so many intriguing details if it weren’t for him and his fabulous guidance. Get a guide! It’s so worth it.

Hire a guide! - Unal was the most perfect tour guide! We had such a delightful day with him. His knowledge was astounding, his respect was perfect and he knew just where to take us for rugs, kaftans, spices and more. We learnt and saw so much. Honestly, do not visit the historical peninsula without a guide. A guide makes the day so efficient and completely worry free! It is incredibly valuable, interesting, delicious and worth every penny. We all had so much fun and so many laughs. We also got tonnes of local recommendations for the rest of our trip. Unal we can not thank you enough. A day that will never be forgotten thanks to you!

One day guided tour of Istanbul historical sites - We arranged to take a one day sight seeing tour of the main historic sites. Our Guide was Gozde. She was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and we felt comfortable with asking any questions. Most importantly she explained how the day was planned but was also flexible with our personal requirements for a break for lunch and ensuring we were not rushed with plenty of time at each place. We had to go get a refund as when we purchased tickets for one venue we were over charged. Gozde supported us with this.

Amazing!! Super knowledgeable & fun! - I went to a complete old city tour with Gozde. She was extremely knowledgeable. I loved learning interesting facts and amazing historical tales about the city. It was a very good idea to get a guide and she is probably one of the best if not the best. I hope this review finds useful to people visiting Istanbul for the first time.
