Seeing Turkey was a wonderful experience. So much history and diversity between the different cities on my tour. A few hiccups with a person on my tour that created a bit of a distraction. My tour guide in Istanbul was Benjamin. Very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make the last part of my trip an absolute blast. He prepared an itinerary to tour the Eastern part of Istanbul for myself. It was my first time traveling solo and having thjs guide provided comfort away from home. This made Turkey very memorable for me.Show more

Benjamín is a thoughful and through guide. He was willing to alter the flow and pace of the tour to acomódate the participants. His follow up to questions and requests was never late and formed the crux of our post tour visit. I would definitely recommend Benjamin as a guide if you are visiting IstanbulShow more

Great guides. Particularly wanted to shout out Benjamin for our Instanbul portion for giving great insights into Istanbul culture and insider knowledge into the historic sites as well as other areas not covered in the tour but something we may be interested in. Also wanted to shout out our guide, Bekir, in Anatolya. Funny and informative at the same time. Definitely should try and seek these 2 guides in these locations if you canShow more
