Private Guide Service - Istanbul

Go to the parts of Istanbul that few visitors get the chance to see.

Our private guide service allows you to explore not just the main sights and attractions but all the hidden corners and secret favourites known only to the locals. The knowledgeable guides will give you a lowdown on the history, the culture, the architecture, the legends and much, much more – all in the language of your choice! The guide will arrange an itinerary tailor-made to your wishes or requests.

Choose a four-hour morning or evening tour or an eight-hour full-day excursion. Choose whether to visit the Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia or whether to check out the former Armenian, Greek and Jewish districts. Or make a pilgrimage, perhaps, to some of Istanbul’s rich heritage of Byzantine Orthodox churches such as St Saviour in Chora, St Sergius & Bacchus and Hagia Eirene.

Indulge in some retail therapy and wander the ancient and oriental riches of the Grand and Spice Bazaars before checking out the Western delights of Istinye Parkand Kanyon shopping centres.

Ask for a Bosphorus cruiseto see the Rumeli Fortress, visit the Asian side or simply admire the hundreds of waterfront residencesknown as yal?in Turkish, that dot the shoreline. The range of colours and architectural styles is vast, ranging from the intrinsically Ottoman to Western neo-classical.

Situated on two continentsand at the crossroads of East and West, with almost 2,000 years of history and with 14 million inhabitants, Istanbul is a treasure trove waiting to be discovered with unlimited options for sightseeing.
