Kentishincanada Posted February 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2022 We are sailing on Sky in October Istanbul to Athens. We hope to spend a few days pre-cruise on our own in Istanbul and wondering if anyone has had good experiences with hiring a private guide who can take us around.

Rare PasadenaDave Posted February 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Search out the blog “My Home on the Roam”. The author is in Istanbul currently and has posted two days of her time with a guide. Her blog is very enjoyable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Azulann Posted February 15, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Check out ports of call on CC. Look for Turkey forum and then Istanbul. You will get many recommendations for guides. I used two different guidss for wonderful guided tours of the the places I wanted to see in old part of town. We stayed at Sari Konak hotel for four night after our 12 day cruise from Istanbul. a number of years ago. great area, It is in walking distance of Blue Mosque .

Alwaysontime Posted February 15, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Not sure I can answer this yet. We have a three day pre Oceania cruise in May and have booked a guide thru tours by locals. We are using a gentleman name Hanifi and he cones highly recommended. He’s been great about responding to questions and request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
