Very information and interesting. - We had a great tour with Mert. On a very raining day, Mert was very organised and did a great job avoiding the mass of cruise ship tours so we did not spend unnecessary time queuing.
Mert was great company and very knowledgable and was able to answer all of our questions on many topics. 100% recommend this tour. Thank you, Mert.

- a unique experience with Turkey Tours Company
We took a private tour of Istanbul with Turkey Tours Company and it was certainly one of the best decisions of our trip to Turkey. From the first contact, the attention was professional, clear and very friendly. The itinerary was totally personalized, and the Service, first class.
Our guide spoke Spanish perfectly and had a great knowledge of the history, culture and local life of Istanbul. We visited the main tourist spots such as Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern and Grand Bazaar, but also lesser known corners that only a local guide could show.
The private transportation was very comfortable, and being a personalized tour, we were able to move at our own pace, ask questions, take pictures without rush and really enjoy each site. We also very much appreciated the recommendations on food, markets and local customs.
I highly recommend Turkey Tours Company if you are looking to get to know Istanbul in depth, comfortably and in Spanish. The quality of Service was excellent and we took unforgettable memories.

Excelente tour in Istanbul with Turkey Travel Company and Aisha - We had an amazing experience with Turkey Travel Company during our POR Istanbul tour. From the beginning, everything was very well organized and professional. Our guide, Aisha, was simply wonderful: she spoke Spanish perfectly, had a great knowledge DE Turkish history and culture, and was also very friendly and close throughout the tour.
We visit iconic places like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar, among others. Aisha explained each site to us in many DETAIL, but DE an entertaining and easy to understand way. You could tell he loves what he does.
In addition, he gave us very useful tips on where to eat, how to get POR the city and what else to do POR ourselves. Thanks to it, we were able to appreciate much more the cultural richness DE Istanbul.
I totally recommend ENdo Turkey Travel Company if you are looking for a Spanish tour, safe and with expert guides. Thank you Aisha POR making this experience unforgettable!

Walking tour of the old sights of Istanbul - We had a wonderful tour of the old sights of Istanbul with Mert. He collected us from our hotel and then we travelled by tram to the location for Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilican Cistern. We then had a lovely lunch before a short walk to the grand bizaar. The knowledge and descriptions of each historical place by Mert was first class. Highly recommended.

Topkapi Palace guided tour. - We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide who took us around Topkapi palace. Rehber, our tours guide had extensive knowledge of Ottoman history and the palace with a good sense of humour. It was well paced. We had 12 people in our group. The visit to Topkapi palace would have had no meaning without the knowledge of history associated with it.

Istanbul tour guide review - I traveled with my girlies for a girls trip and Aisha made sure we had the best time and enjoyed every bit of Istanbul from the sites to the shopping…she tirelessly responded to all our requests (including capturing the best shots of us 😂 ohhh and TikTok videos😂). She was an absolute gem☺️ and the funniest guide I’ve ever met….she fit right into our group. 100/10 recommend!!
