- Z3296HNmarkr0 contributionsAn excellent day in IstanbulWe had such an informative and interesting day with Ali. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. He answered all of our questions and made the tour of the sites much more interesting and fulfilling. We really enjoyed it.Written September 18, 2024
- abdellae20240 contributionsHighly recommended!I have choosen Ada Travel Agency based on their good reviews and they were located close to my hotel next to Osmanbey station and i was never disappointed! I reserved a hotel in bodrum for me and my friend and Mine was so friendly with us and helped us to get our reservation the way we wanted it (room type and room view) and she made sure everything is the way we wanted it to be. I highly recommend them as they are now my go-to travel agency in Istanbul.Written May 31, 2024
- Ambassador7742850 contributionsDay in Istambul with SophiaMy husband and I had a private tour with Sophia, in Istambul today, it was a wonderful time. Sophia was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and took her time to explain the intracies of Istambul's sites and culture as they changed through the years. Further she explained our options and sifhts to see and let us choose what appealed to us. I would highly recommend her as a guide. Thank YouWritten May 23, 2024
- Discover6427710 contributionsConnection with our Christian rootsWhat a wonderful experience it was to be in Ephesus! To trace our Christian roots was very meaningful for us. To stand where Apostle Paul stood!! Our pleasant guide, Nesrin, shared so much interesting information which brought an understanding of the world back then. Her knowledge shared with us was so enlightening. It was notable that the people back then were smart to make a city and their economy work so well. That they had a public library was impressive so all could read made us smile, The Terrace of Houses was an extra which made our tour amazing. We agreed that we all could easily have enjoyed living in this valley. :) Added to this, the Carpet Coop. we visited where we saw local women at work weaving, made us gasp at the colour Heaven ( as Nesrin so rightly put it) The skill involved and finished products were a feast for the eyes. Having a Turkish pancake in a high spot of a Village, while looking down on a picturesque valley, added an authentic touch to the tour. All the arrangements were slick and the ride was comfortable. Thumbs up to our private guide and the Phoenicia Travel team.Written April 26, 2024

- Connector5842870 contributionsQuick stopover in IstanbulWe had a short 2 day stopover in Istanbul and had Hakan as our personal guide for the day, great guide l, very knowledgeable about the city, history, religion and all sorts of other stuff, as Aussies he was perfect for us as he had also lived in Australia for 8 years so was really easy to connect and enjoy the day with someone who gets our humour also, so if you’re an Aussie in Istanbul looking for a great guide Hakan is your guy! He also works as an independent guide so look him up directly for the best deal! Michael- Newcastle AustraliaWritten October 19, 2023
- 296lynned0 contributionsPerfect day in beautiful IstanbulOur private tour of Istanbul exceeded our expectations. Hakan Kutlu showed up promptly and took us to everything we wanted to see during our limited time in Istanbul. His knowledge of this amazing city was incredible. He was well educated, and he explained the history of the places we visited while incorporating stories and little known facts to give us a deeper understanding. We were very fortunate to have Hakan guide us. We loved our time in Istanbul because of him!Written October 16, 2023

- Trail480361778930 contributionsAmazing, beautiful, history and flavours of Istanbul in 5 hour.It was the most amazing 5 hours around Istanbul by an awesome tour guide, Nazan Pir. Your adaptability to our short schedule was most impressive. Every single request and box was ticketed. Hippodrome at Sultanahmet Square, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace Museum, Kapalicarsi Grand bazaar. It you want to do Turkish coffee, Turkish tapestry, and Turkish delight in 30 minutes, then finish it off with the best tasting street side shawarwe, Nazan Pir is the tour guide for you. They went out of the way to pick us up (on time) at Radisson Park Inn Odayeri and dropped us off with time to spare. Thank you for sharing your beautiful city and history with us.

Ilker our tour guide was excellent. He took us to the usual tourist spots and then to places where we would never have seen! He took us to places that he visits! His recommendations for restaurants were also amazing.
Would definitely recommend him to others and would hope to come back and use his services

The tour guide knew a lot about history. He told us a lot about his Muslim beliefs and traditions. He took us to the Sultan Ahmed and Hagia Sophia mosques for quick access and very extensive explanation. We also went to the Grand Bazaar and spice and pottery shops. He was very friendly and took very good photos of us.

My flight arrives at 16:40 on Wednesday, June 20, I have a 14 hour layover and would like to
see the most famous sights in Istanbul. Would like to have a traditional dinner.
Written May 4, 2018
The top 3 sights: The Aya Sofya, Topkapi Palace, and the Blue Mosque (It was closed for renovation when we were there in May).I would purchase Lonely Planet's book on Turkey. With such a short period of time, hire a guide. We used and exceptional one, Mehmet Tetik (for three weeks). With a guide you will get an understanding of the history, culture. Obtain a 72 hour museum pass. You will safe time by not standing in line. Other places to visit, Kariye Museum (Chora Church) my favorite. Spice Market, Grand Bazaar, Bosphorus Cruise and Suleymaniye Mosque can be added, time permitting. There are several restaurants and cafe's along Galata Bridge for eating esp. at night Hope this helps. You will want to return.
