    Me and my wife love to discovering new cities and cultures. Main reason of our desicion was that turkish culture is completely different than ours in america. Your foods is kinda spicey but but excellent, and ofcourse the true hospitality. We decide to do this tour private couse for thepeople like us around 60’s hard to act with group. Every spot we visit was fabulous. Our guide she was a real lady. And specialy shoping at spice bazaar was huge fun. I’m glad that we choose the right agency for the right trip.

    From the time we arrived in Istanbul until we checked into our return flight, the guides and the travel team took care that we moved effortlessly from place to place and that our lack of of language knowledge caused no problems. Thank you so much for that great day.

    Being on our 50’s, we thought a private tour would be more comfortable for us.We almost always did private tours in the cities we have visited..First time in Istanbul turned to a great experience experience thanks to the effort of our agent and the tour guide. We had very short time but they made it a great trip. Istanbul is a a living history and in every step you come across a heritage. We learnt quite a lot from our guide. She was excellent. Thanks a lot..
