We had a fantastic tour with Cicek during an evening layover in Istanbul. She had arranged transportation for us to and from the airport. We arrived at the Blue Mosque to meet Cicek at 6:30 pm and got to spend the evening seeing some amazing sights in the area (the Cistern museum was our favorite) and eating amazing food. We were two adults with two teenage boys and Cicek was flexible and provided an amazing experience for all four of us (including joining us for a fantastic dinner before heading back).

Cicek was amazing...we only had about seven hours in Istanbul (just a long layover) and she helped us make the most of it!

I highly recommend Cicek for a private tour of Istanbul. She is very flexible when challenges came up. We ran into a rug shop and had a blast while avoiding the rain. Later when Jet Lag was becoming an issue, she changed up the itinerary to make it easier on us. She was a plethora of information on all the sites. We greatly enjoyed our day in Istanbul with Cicek.
