Private guided Istanbul in 1 to 3 days, starting at your hotel. Walk historic streets, hit major sights, add ferry views.
“We had an amazing two-day tour of Istanbul with Merve, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we met her, it was clear how passionate she is about her city and its history. She has a gift for explaining complicated historical periods in a way that is engaging, easy to follow, and incredibly informative — for both adults and kids. Her energy, warmth, and sense of humor made the experience feel more like exploring with a very knowledgeable friend than being on a guided tour.”
Private Istanbul hamam in Old City: scrub, foam massage, sauna and steam, with optional massage and tea, near Hagia Sophia.
“I had excellent experience with this Hamam, have proper understanding about the Spa service. Really liked it. Foam massage was the best part of whole experience. Will definitely come again.”
Bosphorus dinner cruise on Mega Lüfer yachts with a full Turkish menu, live dance shows, and night views linking Europe and Asia from $30.
“The service was poor. My dinner plate was missing a side of rice and when I asked for it the server just said okay wait, then never came back. They didn't come by to offer drinks. Worst of all the seating was so tight that we could barely move our chair to sit. The food was just okay and cold. The cruise part was okay if you could get up to go outside a bit.”

“Best tour ever! Our guide, Hazal, was the best guide! We were a group of four. She was super knowledgeable, gave great suggestions, patient, and friendly! The van was new and very comfortable (party bus). Hazal had an itinerary for us to follow but let us customize it also. She met us as soon as we exited the cruise terminal (was holding a sign w/our name) and led us to the driver. If you are able, I would highly recommend requesting Hazal!!!”
