Tour Reviews
My family of 4 (adults) just got back from a week in Istanbul and I can’t say enough about how great Reminder Tour was for our trip. Furkan was communicative before we even left and then throughout the trip. They arranged all of our transportation to and from the airport and it was seamless. They even provide video of where to go in the airport after you land (helpful because it is a HUGE airport). We did 4 days of tours with them, one day which included a day trip to Ephesus.
Everything ran seamlessly! I also cannot say enough great things about our guide Oyku. She was with us for our 3 days of tours in Istanbul and she was so knowledgeable about everything and so pleasant and fun to be around. She also took us on a really great food tour, a highlight of the trip. She also helped us with good places to eat and shop.
Gokhan was our tour guide in Ephesus and he was also wonderful and gave a great historical tour. I was worried flying there and back in the same day was going to be too much but it ended up being very relaxing all because our tour guide was great and Reminder Tour set up all the moving parts, including transport, so well. I should also note Gokhan is an independent contractor for tours and said Reminder was his favorite to work with–they have a good reputation and they always pay their guides on time. I like to hear that about a company!
Overall we had a great experience with Reminder and would certainly use them again when we go back to Turkey.
Kaan was very punctual and very knowledgeable of all the sites he took us to see. He also took us to local and authentic places to shop and eat. We really had a pleasant experience.
Our tour guide, Hazal did an exceptional job at showing us around Istanbul in a way that kept us engaged and comfortable! We had a lot of fun exploring and learning about the city and its history/culture. Hazal made it so easy to navigate the city with her and answered all of our questions! We will definitely be recommending Reminder Tour, Hazal and Istanbul to our friends!
