What made this tour truly unique was Deniz’s ability to personalize the experience. At the Topkapi Palace, he pointed out a secluded garden where the sultans once reflected—it was a quiet escape from the crowds that felt like stepping back in time. ForeverVacation exceeded all expectations!

Traveling solo can sometimes feel lonely, but this tour felt like a journey with friends thanks to my guide, Maria. She made sure every moment was personalized and memorable. At the Grand Bazaar, Maria introduced me to a local jeweler who shared stories about how their family has been crafting Ottoman-style jewelry for generations. They even let me try on a stunning piece, which felt like such a special treat. At the Suleymaniye Mosque, Maria pointed out a hidden viewpoint overlooking the Bosphorus, where we had a quiet moment to soak in the breathtaking scenery. What made the experience even more special was when Maria arranged for me to meet a local at the Spice Bazaar who shared their secret recipe for Turkish tea. ForeverVacation didn’t just show me Istanbul—they made me feel like I was part of its story. This tour is perfect for solo travelers seeking more than just sightseeing—it’s about connection and discovery.

Exploring Istanbul’s Ottoman treasures was already a dream come true, but Deniz added a personal touch that made it unforgettable. During our visit to Rustem Pasha Mosque, he shared his favorite spot for capturing the perfect photo and even snapped some amazing shots of us. At the Spice Bazaar, he surprised us with a stop at a small vendor who offered a tasting of rare Turkish delights—it felt like a private moment just for us. This tour wasn’t just informative; it was filled with little surprises that made it feel uniquely ours.
