First of all I gotta say Hilal was the highlight of our visit in Istanbul. Even when the weather was not the best nor the number of people in that specific tour big, she was super professional and did the tour for us while other people would've just cancelled. She was very kind in explaining us things about culture, places and local life in general which made our visit feel less touristic and more authentic. Hilal also showed us some pretty good places we will be returning back when we go back to Istanbul, we had some amazing local food, recommendations and overall and awesome experience. If you have the chance just to book a tour with Hilal it is totally worth it. 10/10

Extraordinary tour! We saw a lot of the asian part of Istanbul and had a great time. Hilal explained us a lot and answered all of our questions. She also gave us recommendations what to do outside of Istanbul, which was very nice. Thank you so much!

This tour with Hilal was an unforgettable experience that truly immersed us in the vibrant culture and daily life of Istanbul's Asian side. From the moment I joined the tour, I was impressed by the knowledge and passion of our guide, who expertly navigated us through the markets, charming neighborhoods, and hidden gems that I would have never discovered on my own. One of the highlights of the tour was visiting local shops and tasting authentic Turkish delicacies, which gave us a taste of the rich culinary heritage of the region. Very much appreciated! Thanks Hilal!
