I was alone on this tour and had a lovely time with Cengiz! I was worried it would be awkward as the only patron but less than halfway through it was like chatting with a (very knowledgeable!) friend instead of being with a tour guide. He was full of interesting information on both the food I was trying and Istanbul. Great guide, great food, great sites: Highly recommend!

I would give 6 starts if it was possible. The depth of knowledge and the always happy attitude from Hatice was contagious. Me and my wife used her services for 3 days in row. Extremely worth it when you in a country alone and don’t speak the language.
The food was unique and superb. I encourage any family to go to Instanbul to hire Hatice. At the end of the tour you will realize you hired a friend not a tour.

Fantastic tour!! Hatice was an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable about the city, it’s history, and has amazing taste in food (my husband and I are huge foodies). It’s a great way to walk through the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market with someone to point out the best places to shop. She even gave us a recommendation for dinner and it was one of the best meals I have had. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a feel for Istanbul and taste some authentic food!!
