Custom Made Tour with Private Transportation

Cicek is a wonderful, personable tour guide. She is from Istanbul and knows its history, how to get around the city, the important stops and sites, and even has an in with the local shops. We had lunch at a special new restaurant, Shyra, that opened a few months ago, and the food and service were excellent. Cicek was a delight to spend the day with on our full-day tour, and having the private driver made getting around even easier. At the end of our day, she made sure to book us dinner reservations at another restaurant and arrange a Bosphorus cruise. Her English is perfect, and I would recommend booking her for an amazing day or two touring this beautiful city.

Excellent English, very knowledgeable. Great tour guide and I highly recommend

Cicek really outdid herself! The ambitious itinerary that we asked for was truly exceeded by her plan, timing and coordination with the driver. My family and I couldn’t have been happier with our few days together with Cicek.

We traveled with Cicek who customized this tour for us. She was so knowledgeable about the history and culture of Turkey. We had such an enjoyable time and learned so much from her. It was a long thorough trip and at the end she arranged the driver to take us up to Taksim square for a convenient start to our evening Iskitlal street walking tour. Could not have been a more perfect day. What a great guide.

Cicek gave a wonderful tour of Istanbul and was very accommodating to our wishes taking us out of the way to go where we wanted to go. She is very knowledgeable and helped us get in to places so much faster which gave us the ability to see more in the time we had.

Cicek was amazing! Before our tour, she listened to what we wanted to see, and built a wonderful itinerary. She met us at the cruise port, and we immediately felt comfortable with her. My wife has some walking issues, and Cicek made sure my wife was comfortable and was able to rest frequently. At the Blue Mosque, she was able to skip the line for us. Her knowledge was incredible, and we learned so much on this tour. Topkapi Palace was so full of rich history! She then took us to an amazing Michelin restaurant, where she suggested we each order something different and share. I’m so glad she did. The food was so good and introduced us to how good Turkish/Ottoman cuisine is! I can’t say enough about how Cicek provided the perfect day for us in Istanbul!
