    Yeap!!! Istanbul has it all… the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Suleiman Mosque, Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern, Dolmabahce Palace, Galata Tower, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, and I haven’t even mentioned the museums and old villas. Even, I did not tell anything for two continents… Historic Istanbul has history from the Roman Byzantines, Ottomans to modern Turkey. Each period left a wonderful cultural legacy just waiting for us to explore. No city can lay claim to what Istanbul has to offer. Yeep, this is my crazy dream city that lives 24 hours…

    Bespoke itinerary and private guiding services in Istanbul!!! We had a 2,5 days stopover in Istanbul and a friend recommended I contact Erkan at Toursce for advice and what a recommendation it proved to be. Erkan is a remarkable font of knowledge for his beloved city. He ascertained what we had already seen on previous trips to Istanbul, and formulated a bespoke itinerary to suit our interests and time constraint. His and their travel team’s knowledge, enthusiasm, guidance, and attention to detail were impeccable throughout. Thanks, Erkan, for a truly memorable visit to your wonderful city.
