Exploring the heart of the Ottoman Empire was a truly unforgettable experience! The intricate details of the Topkapi Palace and Harem were mesmerizing, and the Blue Mosque left me speechless with its beauty. Wandering through the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar was like stepping back in time, with every corner offering something new to discover. The Rustem Pasha Mosque was a hidden gem with its stunning Iznik tiles, and the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum was a treasure trove of history. Tutya was an exceptional guide who brought the stories of each site to life and ensured everything ran smoothly. ForeverVacation made this solo journey seamless and enriching—highly recommend for history lovers!

This tour was packed with surprises that delighted our entire family! At the Spice Bazaar, Aylin introduced us to a vendor who let the kids create their own spice blend—they were over the moon! At the Grand Bazaar, she took us to a small workshop where artisans demonstrated how Turkish carpets are made. The kids were fascinated, and we even got a chance to try weaving a few threads. The Rustem Pasha Mosque was a serene escape, and Aylin found a quiet spot where we could sit and admire the intricate tilework while she told us stories of Ottoman life. At the Suleymaniye Mosque, she shared her personal favorite viewpoint of the city, giving us a magical family photo opportunity. ForeverVacation planned every detail perfectly, making this an enriching and deeply personal experience for our family. This tour is a must for families looking to connect with Istanbul’s rich history!

Istanbul’s history felt alive on this tour, thanks to Tutya’s thoughtful and personal approach. At the Topkapi Palace, she showed us a secluded balcony with a stunning view of the Bosphorus—it wasn’t part of the main tour route but felt like a hidden treasure. At the Spice Bazaar, she introduced us to a vendor who gave us a tasting of their best Turkish tea blends. These little surprises made the day unforgettable. ForeverVacation made every moment special!
