    Well curated and delightful experience with our Guide in Istanbul
    We had the best time in Istanbul and we credit our experience to our tour guide Emre. Emre was recommended by our dear friends who leave in Turkey and we knew we were going to be pampered. Emre was very knowledgeable and friendly and, above all, adapted to our style. He was very responsive before we arrive, during our trip, and even after we departed to make sure we were ok. I highly recommend Emre’s services. We will be back and continue our journey with him when we return to Istanbul.

    Wonderful tour of Old Istanbul
    Emre took us on a wonderful tour of the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque (and avoided all of the long lines) and several other locations and then gave us time in the Grand Bazaar. It was our favorite day in Istanbul. Emre spoke very good English and was quite knowledgeable and entertaining. He also suggested an excellent restaurant for dinner and dropped us there as we requested. We would definitely recommend Emre as your guide in Istanbul.

    I has recently the pleasure of exploring the enchanting city of istanbul through the guidance of Emre. While this city is truly mesmerizing, my experience would have not been as extraordinary without the expertise and passion of Emre. He really tailor made the tour for me and my parents and he brought us to some hidden gems we would have not discovered without him. I would highly recommend this private tour for everyone willing to discover istanbul.

    Private Tour with Experienced & Knowledgeable Guide/Driver
    The driver cum guide was truly experienced and certainly knows all the "hidden tresures" not usually found with the usual routes. His knowledge on the historical sites was like a walking encyclopedia. Plus we still took many scenic shots. Highly recommended.

    Three wonderful days in the magical Istanbul with Emre!
    To anyone who has little time to visit the city, I strongly reccomend Istanbul Sightseeing Tour, especially our knowledgeable and friendly guide, Emre, who accompanied me and my friend through the streets of the magical Istanbul to discover all its beauties and secrets. He speaks Italian and English very fluently and can tell you things that are not included in books, captions, descriptions and so on. My favourite part of the tour was definitely the tour in Fener and Balat but I really loved the enchanting view of the Gold Horn from Pierre Loti Terrace and also the visit to Süleymaniye mosque. It was a real surprise! Visiting such a wonderful, huge city with an expert like Emre is foundamental and unique! If you're thinking of a mini holiday in Istanbul, get in touch with Istanbul Sightseeinf Tour and enjoy Istanbul with Emre!!!

    Istanbul an amazing city
    Hi All. This was an amazing tour. Emre met us at our hotel in time, took us to all the important sites. He is very knowledgeable and filled us in on details that we would otherwise not have known. He made touring with our little one very comfortable. Recommendations for lunch/ snacks in between were brilliant and also small things such as taking some amazing pictures of us. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and I would highly recommend anyone to use him as a guide.

Meeting Emre for our tour we of, course, did not really know how this would go: A private tour for two days with a guide we had never met in a country we had never been.

The two-day tour was fantastic. I mean that truthfully. Emre is an experienced guide, quite knowledgeable about all things Istanbul and Turkiye. Any questions we had (many) were answered fully and truthfully from the story of the language and their history to civil and political life in the country.

More importantly I had contacted Emre prior to the tour on WhatsApp advising that my wife had some mobility issues, so we needed a slower type of tour (we are both 75). I asked him to design the tour around that condition. Because of his care and concern about my wife's problem the tour design was perfect for her making it more pleasant than she could have expected. The van was very helpful getting from one place to another, avoiding long walks. He asked only once if we wanted to see shopping places for rugs, etc. We said no and we saw none - that was nice for us.

Both days we bought lunch for Emre at the type of restaurants we had asked about. This enabled us to spend that time relaxing and just talking Turkey with him casually.

I rarely review on Trip Advisor saving it for either dire warnings to others or expressing outstanding service. This was the latter. We owe Emre a debt of gratitude for the time he spent with us. Thank you, Emre!

Emre was a great help, very friendly and kind.
We could never have negotiated Istanbul without a good guide like Emre and highly recommend him and the tour Discover Istanbul in 2 Days.
If we are ever lucky enough to visit again, we would love to have Emre show us around.
We were only able to scratch the surface of such an amazing city.
Thank you, Sandra Smith and Peter Hubbar

We had 2 wonderful days of exploring Istanbul with my family who were visiting from Boston! Emre was super helpful and had great communication skills to tailor the tour according to our wants and needs. If you would like to see Istanbul with learning lots about culture and history as well as some humor, i would highly recommend this tour:)
