Ayse was an absolutely amazing guide! Her knowledge of the city's history, her energy levels and her amazingly positive attitude really made the trip for us. Highly recommend her!

Ayse was a wonderful tour guide very knowledgeable about Turkey & a pleasure to be with. She made our Istanbul experience a sheer delight. I can't wait to return & see more of that beautiful city. I highly recommend her to anyone visiting Istanbul.

My wife and I did a one day tour of Istanbul with Ayse Weber, on July 16, 2012. We did not know what to expect when we first met Ayse, in the lobby of our hotel, but her warm smile and overall friendliness told us we would have a nice day and tour. Ayse has a broad depth of knowledge of the history of not only Istanbul, but also Turkey. Our time together allowed Ayse to show us the important sites but to also visit some places that a "tourist" would never think of exploring. We stopped for a sho

Ayse Weber was a really kind and thoughtfull guide in Istanbul. She created an 8 hour tour as we wanted and listened to our wishes during the day. She knew a lot about the history of Istanbul and was very passionate about her work and that made her really interesting for us to listen to. She cared for us in a good and naturally way. We will give our best recommendation for using Ayse Weber as a guide. Weltklasse! Best regards, The Garde family

Ayse was an outstanding guide with a very

thorough knowledge of both historical and

contemporary Istanbul. She devised a schedule

based on our pre-tour input of what we wanted

to see, and the schedule worked perfectly in our

limited time schedule. Her enthusiasm added to

the pleasure of the tour.

I just wanted to thank you for providing my parents with such a wonderful time in your beautiful city of Istanbul. You helped make my parents 50th Anniversary special. I am glad to report that they arrived back home safely and have been sharing their travels with all of us. I also wanted to thank you for providing me and my family with daily updates on their tour and their well being. It provided us back home with some comfort knowing that they were doing well and enjoying their stay.

From our 1st contact to the end of the tour our experience with Ayse was fantastic. Her personality & knowledge taught us about the architecture, history & charm of Istanbul. Her excitement & love of her country showed in her insights, details & significance of all the incredible sites. There was never a dull or tiring moment—Ayse made it all so enjoyable catering to our needs & desires. The sultans would would be very proud of her talent for guiding tours! Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Ayse is a first rate tour guide! I visited Istanbul for a professional conference, and only had 1 free day to tour the city. Ayse's knowledge and enthusiasm to share her country's history and culture was energizing and inspiring. Not only for the standard sites everyone must visit, but also neighborhoods and places off the beaten track. She perfectly tailored the day to fit my interests, and even answered questions I had before I arrived. I recommend Ayse without reservation!

First of all, Ayse is a special person. She always is about her client and your needs. She goes WAY BEYOND any guide requirements to make your visit one that you will remember. Our only problem was that we did not allow enough time to spend with her to see the special city she lives in. We now want to come back with our friends and rest assured, we will be in contact with Ayse to work with us again!! Thank you Ayse!

We cannot think of enough superlatives to adequately describe how very good she is. Seems like family member after three days of guiding. Knowledgable, friendly, fun-loving, humorous, excellent planner. She 'tailored' tour to our exact needs; when needed, made changes. Each day we saw and experienced greater, more beautiful experiences, but here is the thing: Eyse herself was one of our best experiences in Istanbul. Lucky the group that receives her help. Ran out of space to praise her.

Doreena K. 16 Mar 2010

I think Ayse was the one who made our visit to Istanbul one of the most enjoyable trips I have ever had. She is very very knowledgeable and adapted to our needs. She also recommended restaurants and places to go before she finished for the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is visiting Istanbul!

Ayse is doing a job that she loves. She loves history: Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and especially Turkish. She gives you 100% effort for 8 hours. Her daily fee is very fair, especially as she pays for transportation (we took 2 cab rides, 1 Metro, 1 Funicular, and 1 Trolley). She even paid for our morning tea break. Istanbul is not an easy city to navigate for the first time visitor, so a guide is more helpful than usual.

Sascha D. 21 Nov 2009

It was fantastic to discover the stunning city of Istanbul with Ayse. We visited Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the underground cistern, the Hippodrome as well as the Spice Market. Ayse knew everything (!) about the places. Her English is very good. She can talk high-speed so you definitely get more information for your money :-) She is charming and fun. ´Highly recommendable!

Tour Guide Comment: :) It was a pleasure to help you! Hope to welcome you in Istanbul again !! Thank you sascha

Darrell W. 04 Nov 2009

Ayse was brilliant. She is informative, well organised and passionate about her city. She is also charming and very positive. It was a pleasure to spend the day seeing Istanbul with you. Teşekkuler!

Kieu N. 01 Nov 2009

Ayse is probably the best tour guide we've come across in all our travel! She speaks English very well and certainly knows her Istanbul history and culture. We emailed her for a short customized 4 hour tour and she responded immediately. We only wanted to see the underground Cistern, Hippodrome and Hagia Sophia and she was very accommodating. The entire tour was about $30 per person! You can't get any better than that! She even gave us tips on where to eat and how to bargain at the Bazaars!

WE ARE PLEASED TO ADVISE YOU THAT WE USED AYSE AND SHE WAS A GREAT GUIDE AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES. HARRY FRIED

Ayse was a wonderful tour guide. She had a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of Istanbul. She enabled us to see many sights and brought to life the city for us. I would definitely recommend her again!

JANG D. K. 17 Sep 2009

Ayse was a 6 out of 5. I thoroughly enjoyed her services, and I had a great tour of Istanbul. She was extremely knowledgeable and was very sensitive to what I wanted to see and do. What more could you ask for? I will definitely use your website again in the future. Thanks. Jang.

sylvia L. 29 Aug 2009

Ayse was an absolute delight! She was professional, knowable and charming. I had a wonderful day w/ her and she showed me a side of the city I had never seen before. We traveled by tram, taxi and trolley but the best was the ferry on the Bospohrus. The time just flew.

Steve B. 15 Jun 2009

Ayse was an amazing guide! We liked her immediately. She responded right away to our booking request and answered every email promptly. She came to our hotel exactly as planned and had a great schedule prepared. She helped us out with advance bookings as well. She gave us lots of good information without being overwhelming, was extremely sensitive to our moods (especially when we were hungry!) and catered to our interests. She was absolutely perfect and we are so glad to have spent a day

Wilf W. 25 Mar 2009

Tour Guide Comment: Thank you Tristan! I am very happy to get a great comment from you. Hope to see you again in İstanbul. :)

Ayse was very welcoming, friendly and particularly well prepared. Her in depth knowledge of the various sites was impressive and her good humour made it a very informative and enjoyable tour. Her welcoming gifts and a shared afternoon tea were a thoughtful act and greatly appreciated by us. Tom & Kathryn
