that was great! - This was a nice stroll to the quieter areas is Taksim, adding to our experience of all ready seeing some museums and then getting this background information on the artists and the place they lived….that was great! We haven’t been disappointed in any of our experiences in Istanbul so far ❤️

Best guide ever - We enjoyed the story telling and humorous style of our guide. Taksim area is really beautiful and backstreets are better than Main Street of istiklal.

AMAZING - My wife and I went on the tour as this was our first time visiting Istanbul and it was AMAZING! I would highly recommend this tour to all my family and friends. I really loved that they taught us how to use the metro, tram, bus as it can be intimidating. Our tour guide Rosa was so awesome and so sweet! She really allowed us to feel safe traveling in a new city and took amazing photos of us at all the landmarks we visited.
