    Review of: Daily Bursa and Uludag Tour
    If I could rate this as 10, I would.
    This was without a doubt one of the most thrilling experiences I've had in Turkey, Mehmed is amazing and is extremely knowledgeable and approachable.

    You can always tell if a guide is good, great or exceptional. It was just a magical tour with each stop planned perfectly. And to top it off we came back by ferry just in time to catch the sunset. This is one of the memories that I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

    Thank you Tourmania, thank you Mehmed!

    Hierapolis and Pamukkale
    The white cliffs of pamukkale is a really unique place. Ozan told us cleopatra's pool is good for many health problems and people since centuries visiting here for medical treatments. it was very informative and nice tour.

    Review of: Istanbul's Classics and Highlights! Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi and more!
    A Great Guide.
    I booked Oguzhan to provide a private tour based on Istanbul arts and Uskudar. Oguzhan (Ozzy) is friendly, approachable and authentic. His knowledge of art, history, archaeology and religions of Istanbul is both wide and deep. He also knows wonderful, non-touristy food places.

    He has a great intuitive approach to tour guiding, which anticipates the need for pauses, refreshments, when to give input and, when to deviate from the itinerary.

    He is a an excellent guide who really knows his stuff

    Review of: SEA LIFE Istanbul General Admission
    In touch with nature..
    It was a nice experience, even for adults... Kids will love it! There are areas of bad smell so I don't recommend it for people that can't handle... But if you go to forum mall, don't miss that one hour od see life 😊

    Review of: Princes Island Tour with lunch from Istanbul
    Beyond expectation
    Amazing trip it was beyond my expectations. Everything as scheduled. The ferry was big and luxury. The tour guide Sulaiman took us around the island and we had a lovely lunch considering the price. We had a good free time of walking around without pressure. After that they took us to a fashion show in istanbul which I wasnt aware it was in schedule but we enjoyed it alottt!
    Highly recommend this tour office 👌👌

    Review of: Evening walks, local food tasting tour
    Highly recommend
    There has obviously been a lot of work put into making this tour fantastic. Ayhan has found some of the best foods in the city and presents them with a pleasant walk between each. We walked through some beautiful streets which we never would’ve found without this tour. I’d highly recommend to join this tour if you have an evening free in Istanbul.
