“As a first-time visitor to Istanbul, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this magical city. The day started with a traditional Turkish breakfast, where the börek was light, crispy, and perfectly savory. Walking through the Spice Market was an explosion of colors, scents, and sounds—I couldn’t help but feel swept up in the city’s energy. Watching Turkish coffee brewed over sand was mesmerizing, and Duong’s explanation of its cultural significance made it even more special. The surprise stop at a hidden courtyard for a quick chat with a local vendor was an unexpected delight. By the time we reached Çiya Restaurant, I was ready to indulge, and the variety of dishes was nothing short of incredible. Duong’s warmth and enthusiasm made me feel like a local, even if just for a day. This tour didn’t just show me Istanbul—it made me fall in love with its soul. A must for first-time visitors!”
