We had an amazing seven hours in Istanbul with Cicek. We were able to visit everything we had hoped for and more, and Cicek also took us to an excellent restaurant for lunch! Cicek speaks excellent English, is very knowledgeable, and we would highly recommend touring with her if you get a chance.

Cicek was a delightful guide. She was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We weren't sure what to expect but Cicek made our port visit a great experience.

Nice knowledgeable and caring person, fluent in English. Had a nice time in Istanbul. Thank you!
John H.United States
Because of an airline problem, we had to accept an alternate tour in Istanbul on a Friday when the Hagia Sophia was closed to the public. Thus, the main reason for visiting Istanbul was not realized. However, the substitute guide was very nice and knowledgeable and I certainly would recommend her . Cicek, our original guide worked hard to find us a substitute, and did a great job.
