"Our tour guide Taner was excellent and our family very much enjoyed his in-depth knowledge and experience of Istanbul. English is our primary language and Taner spoke it like a pro! We highly recommend him if you want the very best guide, and person, to show you the amazing city of Istanbul and beautiful country of Türkiye. He took us to stops on both of the Europe and Asian sides of the city. We had a fantastic lunch at a local Turkish restaurant that was delicious and fresh.

"I fell in love with istanbul, people were warm and friendly, even they gave out free teas to show hospitality for me. The sultanahmet was huge, i went with Nova Roma Agency because it was my second time to have an tour with them and i was very impressed in the first time. The guide was different this time but he showed the same highl level of informativeness and his answers were on point.

"I met Tanner 10 years ago during a solo tour. He was such a gentleman, very caring then and was lucky to have found him again to guide me through beautiful Istanbul. I am so glad he continues to be the way I remembered him. I am older and needed someone with extra patient . He did not disappoint me. I hope to return to Istanbul and to have Tanner as my tour guide. Tanner, if you read this: It was a pleasure to have had your company these few days … I wish you much success today and always! Best regards, Miriam"

"We had a fabulous whirlwind 4-hour tour today with Taner. We had a 1-night stopover in Istanbul and a friend recommended Taner to us. He arranged transportation from the airport and then guided us to see inside the Blue Mosque, outside the Hagia Sofia, down into the Cistern, stop at a restaurant for doner, then into the Grand Bazaar quickly as it was closing at 6:30 pm for Ramadan. We stopped at several shops including Turkish Delight, souvenirs, and jewelry. Finally we grabbed a quick Turkish ice cream on the street, which is an entertaining experience you should not miss. It was a perfect afternoon in Istanbul. Highly recommend this tour!"
