“The highlight of the tour wasn’t even on the itinerary! At Karakoy Banks Street, Maria led us to a rooftop with a panoramic view of the city that took our breath away. ForeverVacation goes above and beyond to show you Istanbul’s hidden treasures!”
“This tour was a treasure trove of Istanbul’s beauty, history, and unexpected gems. While Dolmabahce Palace and the Bosphorus cruise were awe-inspiring, the highlight of my day came at Karakoy Banks Street. Deniz led me down a narrow alley to a small art studio where a local painter was at work. He welcomed us in, shared his story, and even gifted me a small sketch as a souvenir. It was an unplanned stop, but it captured the essence of Istanbul’s creativity and warmth. On Istiklal Street, we stumbled upon a group of locals dancing to live music, and Deniz encouraged me to join in—it was such a joyful and spontaneous moment. These surprises, combined with ForeverVacation’s seamless planning, made this one of the most unforgettable experiences of my travels.”
“The Bosphorus cruise and Dolmabahce Palace were incredible, but what made this tour unforgettable was a hidden tea garden near Karakoy Banks Street. Aylin brought us there as a surprise, and we spent a quiet moment sipping tea and soaking in the city’s charm. It felt like a personal gift from Istanbul to us.”
“While exploring Taksim Square, Maria surprised us by leading us to a street vendor who made fresh lokma (Turkish donuts). Watching him cook and then trying them warm was such an unexpected treat. This tour was filled with moments like this—highly recommend!”
“This tour was packed with unforgettable moments, but one unexpected highlight stole the show. At Karakoy Banks Street, our guide Cihan led us to a small courtyard where local artisans were selling handmade crafts. The kids were fascinated by the colorful trinkets, and one artisan even let them try making a bracelet! During the Bosphorus cruise, Cihan surprised us with traditional Turkish snacks to share, turning the boat ride into a mini picnic. And at Istiklal Street, we stumbled upon a puppet show that left the kids giggling and clapping. These surprises, along with the grandeur of Dolmabahce Palace and the energy of Taksim Square, made this tour feel like an adventure curated just for us. ForeverVacation’s attention to detail and Cihan’s warmth created memories we’ll cherish forever.”
“Istanbul is full of wonders, and this tour revealed some of its best-kept secrets. While the Bosphorus cruise and Dolmabahce Palace were showstoppers, the hidden café in Karakoy Banks Street, where locals gather for tea and conversation, was an unexpected delight. Aylin’s thoughtful guidance turned the day into an unforgettable journey through Istanbul’s heart.”
