“As a first-time visitor to Istanbul, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this tour exceeded all my dreams. Ahrida Synagogue was a beautiful start, and Maria’s stories about the community that once thrived there brought its history to life. Walking through Balat and Fener, I was enchanted by the colorful streets and vibrant culture. The Quincentennial Jewish Heritage Museum was a treasure trove of stories and artifacts, and Maria’s insights made it all the more meaningful. The highlight for me was the Ashkenazi Synagogue, where the caretaker surprised us with a story about a family reunion that had taken place there just weeks earlier. This tour didn’t just show me Istanbul’s Jewish history—it made me feel like I was a part of it. I left the day with a deep connection to the city and can’t wait to return.”
“Istanbul’s Jewish history is so rich, and this tour showcased it beautifully. The synagogues, museum, and vibrant neighborhoods were incredible. Tutya was a wonderful guide who made the day seamless and enjoyable. Don’t miss this tour!”
“Our guide Tutya was wonderful. She met us in our hotel lobby. She arrived early. She took us to many Jewish sites. When the distances were too far for walking she hailed taxis. We are seniors so we appreciated that. It was interesting to see some different neighborhoods of Istanbul.”
