The best tour we’ve ever been on
C***** B***** ·
It was our first time in Turkey and we’re typically not tour people. But since Istanbul has so much to see and to maximize our time, we decided on a private tour. I cannot say enough good things about Eren. He truly catered the tour to exactly what we wanted to/should see, including the best shopping experience ever. Not only did he make sure we covered all the must see places, he’s actually an archeologist so his knowledge of Turkish history is top notch. He also took us to an amazing lunch spot which we’d never have found ourselves. I really wanted to buy an authentic Turkish rug so he arranged for us to do this and have an intimate experience learning about how our rug was made. Even in the Grand Bazaar, which can be overwhelming, he helped us find the best places that are trusted by locals. Tours can be cumbersome and oftentimes you’re waiting around for a large group. This was completely private, and included the driver. I would 100% recommend Eren to anyone looking to see Istanbul in a way that I don’t feel is possible on a typical tour. You’ll get to experience Istanbul from a more local perspective which I think is so valuable compared to being in a generic tour. He also made many recommendations for the rest of our time here which was wonderful. 10 out of 10 experience hands down. Thank you Eren.
