Just want to stop by to say, my daughter and I had the privilege to enjoy and experience the intrigue of Turkey this past April, and many thanks to our Tour Guide Tarik Saylan. He did an exceptional job guiding us during our stay. The days were filled with lots of interesting and fun filling activities. We visited lots of... More

I recently visited Turkey with a group and Tarik was our tour guide. I was extremely pleased with his dedication and professionalism, not to mention the attention to details. What a memorable experience he made this trip. It's amazing how many places we were able to visit and the detailed historical and cultural descriptions he gave for each site -... More

My husband and I had an all day private tour this company and were very pleased. Fulya was our guide. She was professional and very knowledgeable. It was over a busy holiday weekend that we took the tour, and the queues to buy tickets to all the sites were insane. One of the advantages with having a private tour guide... More

We had Mr. Tarik for a day of touring around the Old City. He was an excellent guide with great English skills and an incredibly deep knowledge of the history surrounding the sites we visited. He was even excellent when it came to recommending a great place for lunch. I thought the price was very reasonable for myself and 4... More

My friends and I recently went on a short holiday to Istanbul. For most of us it was our first time in Turkey and originally we decided that we would do everything on our own. After one day in Istanbul we realised that it would be almost impossible to see and do everything we wanted on our short holiday. So... More

I had a tour of Istanbul with Tarik in July of 2011. I could not have asked for a better guide. He went above and beyond the duty of tour leader - helping me when I was sick and going out of his way to make sure I was okay. His intricate knowledge of the towns and the features was... More

We had a tour of Istanbul with Tarik Saylan. Him and his driver picked us up at the Hilton right on time and started our day of history, culture, and sights. It was very chilly and wet that day, but we somehow managed to get everything done that we had planned. The Blue Mosque, San Sofia and the Old Palace... More
