My husband and I took a private tour through Istanbul. Feruza was a great guide through the city! She was very knowledgeable of the city and the culture. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city of Istanbul!

Best tour ever. Ferruza made us love Istanbul and Turkey. Even though it was only one day, the tour was incredible. Thank you

My flight got to Istanbul at 5:30 a.m. Despite the company's normal tour start time of 8:00 a.m., my guide Feruza picked me up at the airport at 7:00 a.m., giving me an extra hour in Istanbul. Feruza is knowledgeable about the city, personable, and thoughtful. In addition to sharing with me information about the Blue Mosque and other historic sites, she talked to me about Turkish history, culture, religious practices, and daily lives of the locals. Although my time in Istanbul was short, I had a good introduction to the city.
