Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
We had a private tour to Istanbul. It was a great trip with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The private car was very clean and the driver was nice. Highly recommended.
We were lucky to get a private tour which was fantastic. A great guide, professional and, guess what, a pretty cool friend too. He took us not only to the most beautiful places but he gave us the spirit of the sites, arranged special events for us and he was absolutely unstoppable. I could not have asked for a better service!
I would recommend using this company when you visit Istanbul!
We had a fantastic time and would love to go back to Istanbul to explore more.
Now this is a Museum, with a capital M. WOW ! As a student in cultural heritage institutions I was truly amazed by the depth and intensity with which this museum is set up. The information (in English!) is lavishing and so much more than one can expect.
I recently visited Istanbul with mt fiance for our honeymoon. Thank you so much for making our trip such a wonderful experience!
Ok, everybody knows what the grand bazar is so just some hints and tips. For orientation: Up is always south and west.
1. Avoid the "main" entrance from the tram station if possible, the most aggressive vendors wait just outside.
2. Whatever you see there it is on sale and unique and can only be bought in this shop. Wrong…
HagiaSophia is a must go when in Istanbul. It's an unique piece of engineering which has been witnessing history for over a 1500 years and is impressively preserved. You can't miss!
Como explicar lo maravilloso de la gran ciudad de istanbul para y muchos mas es la ciudad mas mistica y gracias al tour privado consegui conocerlo M A R A V I L L O S O O O 🙂
En el momento en que llegamos a Éfeso, habíamos visitado algunas ruinas magníficas por Turquía. Pero habíamos visto nada en la escala de Éfeso. Uno puede imaginarse la vitalidad de la ciudad, la gente realizando sus actividades cotidianas, los niños jugando en las calles.
Esta ciudad era tan vistoso: las esculturas, fuentes, estatuas. La biblioteca es el punto culminante, dominando las ruinas. Por desgracia, el teatro estaba rodeado de alambre, que tardó lejos de la historia. Las letrinas fueron una vista para contemplar.
Caminamos por estas ruinas durante unas horas, y nos alegramos de no haber estado en un grupo grande , ya que parecían ir y venir sin mayor detalle como te lo da el tour privado que contratamos nosotros
