Reyan was a fabulous and personable guide, expertly navigating us through the maze of stalls. She imparted significant knowledge taking us “behind the scenes” to show how current artists are keeping the arts alive. She was also wonderful at recommending excellent purveyors of specific items that we were seeking to purchase. Highly recommend.

This was a wonderful tour that exceeded our expectations. Duygu did a great job showcasing the day to day life and great diversity of this part of Istanbul. We learned a lot, including many unexpected details, and had a lovely cafe experience to cap it all off, including some Turkish coffee fortune telling! Thank you Duygu.

I’d read that visiting the Asian side of Istanbul is essential for any first-time visitor, and I wholeheartedly agree. Our local guide was approachable and knowledgeable, sharing both historical context and modern cultural insights that deepened our appreciation of the city’s rich tapestry. This half-day tour offers a small taste of what the 'Asian side' has to offer. We only wished we were able to see more. The ferry ride was an added highlight! Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and a morning well spent.
