Definitely an unique tour - It was our second time in Istanbul and we desired to experience something new. This tour grabbed our attention and it was a very much right decision. It's for you if you feel like having a different perspective of the city

Something really different - We stayed in istanbul for about a week and had almost all types of tours and eventually rolled up for this very interesting title. Stories behind here are far more beyond my expectation. It's a mind streching memory I have about Constantinople and so called istanbul. Thank you.

Istanbul's Ghostly Secrets! - It was a chilling event that I will never forget. Our guide expertly related chilling traditions of long-forgotten ghosts, spectral figures, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding historic sites. Anyone looking for an exciting fusion of history and the paranormal should take this tour, in my opinion. Many thanks!

very interesting experience - The tour was very well organized, and I appreciated that we were able to cover so much ground on foot while still having plenty of time to stop and take in the sights. Your storytelling skills were top-notch, and you had a great way of bringing the creepy stories to life and making them both mysterious and fascinating. One of the highlights of the tour for me was visiting the underground tunnels beneath the palace, which added a whole new dimension to the stories and legends we had heard earlier in the tour. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul who loves history, weird and mysterious stories, or both. Thank you so much for an amazing experience, and I hope to take another tour with you in the future!

One of a kind - I had no ideas about Turkish breakfast tradition until I see this tour. It was th best breakfast journey ever! I call it a journey because it literally takes you more than one hour to eat, chat, enjoy and Turkish coffee finalize the joy at maximum. After that huge breakfast it was very good exercise to walk in palace actually. Dolmabahce is a massive and gorgeous palace. I highly recommand this tour. It is one of a kind

Perfect guide for lgbt+ tour, very lgbt+ friendly we had lots of info about everything including local lgbt bars and pubs, clubs in istanbul
