    What Our Travelers Think

    Philip Aug 2025

    We booked a half-day “Explore Istanbul with a Local” tour with Tugba, and she was absolutely outstanding. We told her we wanted to see as much as possible without wasting time in long lines — even if that meant skipping the Blue Mosque — and she delivered exactly what we hoped for. She guided us through hidden gems, the spice shops, the Grand Bazaar, and even introduced us to simple but wonderful street foods like roasted corn and chestnuts. Her knowledge and passion for the city made every stop meaningful. By the end of the day, Tugba was even calling to make us breakfast reservations at her favorite local spot for the next morning — such a thoughtful touch! Spending the afternoon with her felt like exploring Istanbul with a close friend who knows all the city’s secrets. If we’re ever lucky enough to return to this remarkable city, Tugba will be the first person we contact. Highly recommend!

    We had a great day with Roy and he would have loved to show / tell us more. Only - we didn't have the time. Money for value rated only 4, because it was quite expensive for four people considering that most of the money doesn't go to Roy but to the organisation. Roys commitment though is worth 5 points or more.

    Dave is amazing! He knows the city well and provided an excellent tour personalized to our requests and interests. We enjoyed our full day with Dave strolling the streets and learning as we walked. We also enjoyed a relaxing lunch break and a couple sit down breaks along our journey. Dave has a wonderful personality and can make you laugh and smile the entire day. We may return to Hamburg someday, if for nothing else but to spend time with this incredible individual, Dave. Thank you for a wonderful day and life long memories. Allen & Marshall.

    The depth of Massimo’s knowledge was amazing. His ability to communicate in English was great, and he even instructed us in the Italian words when that helped tell the story.
