Favorite shots from Summer '24

This summer has been one for the books, and we are beyond grateful to have shared it with so many wonderful people from all corners of the world. One of the things we love most about what we do is the opportunity to form genuine friendships with our guests. Spending quality time with people who come to explore Istanbul with us is not just part of the job—it’s a true pleasure, and often, we find ourselves building bonds that last well beyond the tour.

Hagia Sophia is always a special stop. Every time we enter its majestic halls, we’re in awe of the grandeur and the centuries of history within its walls. Watching our guests’ faces light up as they take in the stunning mosaics is a reminder of how lucky we are to share this wonder with visitors from around the globe. It never gets old, and we always leave feeling humbled.

On our Bosphorus cruises, we get to enjoy the city from a completely different angle. Sailing between two continents, the breeze in our hair and the skyline dotted with minarets and palaces, we can’t help but feel connected to the timelessness of this place. Sharing that feeling with our guests, who often sit in quiet awe as the boat glides through the water, is one of our favorite parts of the day.

Visiting Dolmabahçe Palace is another unforgettable experience. The elegance and luxury of the palace’s interiors never fail to impress. We love watching our guests discover the stories behind each room, chandelier, and intricate design. It’s a moment where history comes alive, and their curiosity keeps us on our toes with new questions and perspectives.

Our dinner cruises are something special. There’s a unique magic in dining on the water as the city lights reflect on the Bosphorus. The laughter, the conversations, and the shared meals under the starry skies make for memories that last. We always say that by the end of the evening, we’re no longer just guides and guests—we’re friends.

And then there’s Ortaköy, one of our favorite stops to relax and take it all in. This charming neighborhood with its lively streets, street food, and picture-perfect views of the Bosphorus Bridge is a true gem. Here, we often share a coffee or a tea with our guests, talking about everything from history to life in Istanbul. It’s these moments of connection that stay with us long after the tour ends.

We love what we do because it’s not just about showing off beautiful sights; it’s about the people we meet along the way. We cherish every story, every laugh, and every connection we make. To us, these tours are more than just experiences—they’re opportunities to form lasting friendships with people who are just as curious about the world as we are.

Take a look at our favorite snapshots from Summer ’24 and see the magic of Istanbul through our eyes. We can’t wait to share more unforgettable moments with you!
