Private tour of half day city tour

Dilek was great guiding us through the grand Mosques of Istanbul the guiding us across to the Asia side and showing us the market and a great place for lunch.

Dilek was very kind to do the tour in Spanish even though she wasn't that used to it, but it was so good! She is also fun and she knows a lot about culture and history in Istanbul. We were able to learn and ask questions as we went along the sights, which we customized to fit our schedule. She was so nice to reschedule due to an illness, and we are so grateful for that! Definitely recommend to take a tour with her!

Wonderful tour guide!!! She even arranged a turkish Bath for the end of the tour! Highly recommended.

Dilek was just great. She made it easy to meet, gave us the perfect amount of information (I’ve used TBL many times. Some guides want to give a grad-school level lecture on history that I don’t need. I like to hear the most interesting information without stopping for a lecture). She walked us through the big highlights then took us in public transportation to an area off the beaten path - exactly what we asked for.

Excellent tour. Warm and engaging, Dilek was a terrific tour guide. She was proactive in identifying some logistical challenges around our hotel. It was just one of the tours - perfect pace, informative and flexible as we tweaked options as we went. Highly recommended

This is a fascinating tour and what puts it over the top is Dilik, our intrepid guide! Here's what makes it a 5 star experience. 1) She met us at our hotel, no stress about getting somewhere in an unfamiliar environment and trying to pick your guide out of the crowd. 2) She covers all the details, paid for our subway passage and per-paid for the skip the line tickets to each of the attractions. (your reimburse her for the cost of the tickets). As for the sites we visited, they are spectacular! The Basilica Cisterns were the biggest surprise --and a welcome respite from the heat!. We loved it!
