We had a wonderful 3hour tour of Istanbul with Tugba. She was very knowledgeable and was flexible and able to find things to keep our young kids engaged. Highly recommended!

I was so lucky to get to spend my layover with Feruza! She showed such amazing knowledge and passion for the city that it was infectious! She met us at the airport, took us up to olde towne where we got to see the bazaar, the blue mosque, a subterranean museum, and got to enjoy the local cuisine. If you have the time get out and see the city with an amazing and passionate guide Feruza!!!
