Our January trip to Istanbul in 2026 exceeded all expectations! If you are not looking for a trivial tour, but a 100% immersion in the city's flavor, this group tour with Yulia is the perfect solution. I brought home a suitcase of souvenirs, gigabytes of beautiful pictures and a crazy desire to get back there as soon as possible. The atmosphere of the tour was simply incredible: we were drinking tea on the banks of the Bosphorus, wandering through the historic streets of the Sultan era and bargaining with excitement at the Grand Bazaar, and thanks to Yulia's stories, the city literally came to life before our eyes.Most of all, I was hooked on the comfortable pace of the trip without running around and rushing for the sake of show, which allowed us to walk thoughtfully and calmly. The route was amazing, and Yulia showed us those hidden corners and secret observation decks that you would never find in ordinary guidebooks. Yulia herself is an incredible organizer of original tours and a sincere companion who sincerely loves and knows Istanbul from the inside out. The culinary part also turned into a separate gastronomic delight, because we tried everything: from warming winter soups in local locations to legendary Turkish desserts. Everything was organized flawlessly, with great care for our comfort during the winter season.
