Amazing! - Serkan was awesome!! We had a private group tour with 13 of us. He showed us all the highlights along with great food! The Blue Mosque was beautiful. He made great recommendations and was careful with the time since this was a cruise excursion for us.

The only way to see Istanbul! - Our guide was amazing! We felt the love of his city and country as we walked the streets of Istanbul. Beautiful and thrilling are just a few words to describe our day. We are coming back to spend more time to see and experience things that only a day scratched the surface. Such kind people. This tour was the only way to see Istanbul for the first time!
