Tour Reviews
A great, informative and fun tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely book a tour with Reminder again.
We enjoyed the tour so much with my family. We don’t like tours with a lot of people so we really enjoyed this private tour and accompany of our guide.
It was a beautiful tour with different content. We bought a 4-day tour from Reminder. We had the chance to visit all of Istanbul. I recommend it to everyone.
Istanbul is an amazing town and I was lucky to have the company of Kaan to show me around. He knows Istanbul in and out, speaks perfect English and doesn’t smoke, always on-time, good conversationalist and plain good company and a gentleman. Best of all he is passionate about Istanbul, its culture, history, food, drinks, and fascinating stories. He and his wife share this passion on their youtube and Instagram which unfortunately I am not allowed to show here but search for istanbul tips in youtube and you will see hopefully.
If you have no idea what you want to see, he will make sure you visit all the must-sees and if you have watched their tips before your trip, make sure you prioritise your wish list and he will customize a plan with you. When time permits, he even did a few ad-hoc points of interest in the vicinity we were in which were not pre-planned.
Briefly, I did the Hagia Sophia myself in the morning so I can take my time for photos and videos. Then I revisited at night with Kaan when I realised I had missed so many important things I cannot even count !And without him, I would have never tasted these delicious drinks – Salep nor Ayran.
