About the operator
- GustavoE56700Great experience!Today we had our one day tour of Istanbul with Selim, it was great, top performing guide, knew all the shortcuts to make the most of our day! Highly recommended 👍🏻!
- Sue Z00Bicycle TourUndertook a bicycle history tour with Mazlum. It was incredibly interesting and informative and great to see Istanbul from a bike.
- clairesL7068YY00Well curated and delightful experience with our Guide in IstanbulWe 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.
- JillP400Wonderful tour of Old IstanbulEmre 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.
- raymondsB5827WA00Private Tour with Experienced & Knowledgeable Guide/DriverThe 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.
- 947yamy00Great tour of old IstanbulHighly recommend! The tour was very interesting, small group , the tour guide had a lot of knowledge , and was very nice - the meal was very good , the driver that took us to the meeting point told as a lot about Istanbul during the drive.
- lauramE4695DR00Three 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!!!
- P2976WJ_00Thanks for a great guideEmre really helped me and my friends enjoy our visit toTurkey. I can even say that he saved the whole trip. I highly recommend Emre to you because you can fully trust this guide and have an exciting trip in Istanbul!
- leonardomX3170PD00Very good experienceVery professional guide and really interesting explanation about the sites and the history of town. The guide was wery helpful as well
- 417rahimk00Istanbul an amazing cityHi 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.
- Holly29500Wonderful bike tour of Old CityAwesome biking tour around old city - loved it! Tour guide very knowledgeable. Not too strenuous and plenty of stops to see the sights and get history overview. Very enjoyable day
- xdriller00Wonderful Emre in IstanbulMeeting 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!
- nyarin202200Istanbul in a dayEmre is well informed and shows with a lot of interest. It is very safe and relaible for solo travelers.
- K8DCK00Better than we could have wished for !We would just like to say a very big thank to Emre for a very memorable tour of Istanbul He made our trip so interesting & very informative
- Marinbecker00Very nice and complete experience in only two daysVery nice guide, who will bring you to see all istanbul main places in two days ! I really enjoyed the tour Emre gave us even though I don't usually like guided tours. Very nice places and a good choice in food as well, I recommend !

Emre and his team arranged for our family an all inclusive week - including transfers - and hands-on advice and guidance from Istanbul down to Bodrum. Any issue, any question, Emre was on the end of the phone line sorting it out for us, even at a distance.
Best beach in bodrum was at our hotel (and we checked out others during our stay); great food in the hotel also; partner company staff there in direct contact with him sorting out anything we needed. And hotel was at Emre’s recommendation.
I thoroughly recommend Emre and his company and look forward to using him again on our next trip to Turkey.... which will be soon!

Our travel agency organized our entire trip around Turkey and we were so lucky that they chose Emre as our guide in Istanbul. Emre picked us up from the hotel and took us around the city. Not only does he know every detail about everything you will see, he also knows his way around the city, so you won't be wasting time in traffic (and this is GOLD!). He is kind, funny and also a great photographer :) You'll really enjoy the time with him. Emre took us from the European side to the Asian side, a ferry ride, riding the metro, the Bosphorus tour and pretty much every place we wanted to check out, always with a smile on his face. He also took us to a great lunch place and then this little but delicious sweet shop where we got to eat a really delicious Baklava. He also gave us tips for when we were in other places in Turkey, which we really appreciated (try the "Pottery Kebab" in Cappadocia).
We are so thankful that Daroute Travel chose Emre for us, he was the perfect fit and the greatest company in our 2 days 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.

I spent a day with Emre touring the Old City. He is very knowledgeable and personable. It seemed like he knew everything and everyone we met along the way.
Emre picked me up at my hotel and dropped me off, and lunch was covered.
It was a great day!

Firstly my flight was late, but Emre ( The Best Tour Guide Ever ) made sure I still got my full tour in even though I was four hours late for pick up! I only had one full day in Istanbul and I wanted to see all of it!
Not only did Emre get me to all Three of the main sights I wanted to see but he also took me to incredibly beautiful places in-between. I am a photographer and Emre knew this as he checked out my website before meeting with me. He took me to the bridge where the Fisherman are, and to an incredible shop where they hand weave Turkish Carpets as well as to the most incredible lunch spot with the most divine food ever!
It was these places that really made the tour special to me.
Emre is not just another tour guide, he loves what he does, is incredibly knowledgeable about his country and he goes all out for you. I enjoyed every minute of the tour.
Thank you Emre, hope to see you again soon.
