What your Experience could look like
- Find your feet in Istanbul with one of our who will show you how to navigate through the city - from the metro to buses and trams, it all starts with figuring out your transport (including on foot, if that’s your style!)
- Take in some highlights on your experience, like the glittering mosaics at the Hagia Sophia Museum and be awe-inspired by its iconic dome
- Step back in time (not literally, unless you have a time machine?) to the 1600s, during the rule of Ahmed, with a trip to the historic Blue Mosque
- Wander through the bustling alleys of the Grand Bazaar as you get orientated in the city and learn about local life, and how to haggle for a bargain!
- Ask your host any questions you have about exploring Istanbul, what to visit and what to eat - they can’t wait to share their local tips with you

The experience with Tugba was extraordinary. Tugba is a person attentive to details who knows many secrets of Istanbul. She took us to many places that are not mentioned as objectives and took into account our requests. We are a family with two children, but Tugba knew how to make even the little ones feel good. We thank her and hope to see you again on other occasions!

Bukak Gulcan was our guide for the day. He knew so much about everything, history, religion, architecture and day to day life in Turkey. We learn and saw so much. Additionally, he was able to get us to the front of the line in most situations. Saving us time. My husband that I was traveling with knows a lot about the history of the region, but Burak knew more and my husband really enjoyed learning beyond what he has read.

The most memorable thing on our tour was Burak. He could answer all our questions. He had a sense of humor and was very compassionate about my difficulties in walking.
