very well. He engaged our children, made us feel welcome and very comfortable. Can was always willing to arrange activities for us that he knew we would enjoy even if they weren’t part of the program. He was excellent
at making sure we knew what to expect, who was picking us up, when and where. We knew with Can taking care of us we could relax and enjoy our holiday. Can truly spoiled us in terms of what we can expect in future guides. He was incredible! We gained a deeper understanding of your history and

" ... Bonjour Feza, Après un voyage sans problème, nous voici de retour en Suisse. Dur de recommencer le travail après un séjour si agréable dans votre belle ville.
Nous avons encore dégusté un thé au café « Pierre Loti » et admiré la vue splendide, pris le bateau pour une croisière sur le Bosphore, visité la Mosquée de Soliman.
Nous avons fait un peu de shopping sur la rue Istiklal, dans le Grand Bazar et dans le Bazar égyptien. Nous avons aussi visité la Tour de Galata, afin de jouir d’une magnifique vue panoramique sur la ville.
Que de belles choses à découvrir ! C’est un très grand plaisir de se promener dans la ville, ça nous donne vraiment envie d’y revenir.
Nous tenons encore une fois à vous remercier pour la belle journée de jeudi passée en votre compagnie. Vos commentaires nous ont permis d’apprécier pleinement tous les monuments visités.
Grâce à vous, nous avons vraiment découvert le quartier historique d’une manière intéressante et sympathique.
Nous ne pourrons que vous recommander à nos amis, s’ils décident de se rendre à Istanbul. Nous garderons précieusement votre adresse.

The idea of staying at a cave hotel was scary a little bit, but after seeing our room, we all wooowwed... even the children. The room was wonderful. We loved every single moment of our trip, thanks to you and Murat. We now know what you mean by telling us 1.5 days is not enough. We are so hoping to be back ... "
