Earthissimo Reviews

They turned my Istanbul trip to the

They turned my Istanbul trip to the best Local coffee shops and restaurants were amazing definitely will go on another tour with Hasan and Earthissimo

USA Couple

Enjoyed the food experience as we learned a lot not just about the different foods but also about the day to day life of people in Turkiye Our guide Mert was very knowledgeable and had lots of interesting facts stories that we otherwise would not have found out on our own We also enjoyed walking the neighborhood and learning about people and places Overall a very positive experience and worth the money Would definitely recommend to other visitors to Istanbul

We loved this experience

We loved this experience especially the way it was tailored to our personal choices The host was a wealth of knowledge and took us to places we would otherwise never see I would highly recommend this experience

Wonderful experience in Istanbul

Mert was really knowledgeable from everything about the culture local life history and architecture in city of Istanbul It was great to have our fortune told and try so many Turkish deserts Recommend to anyone who is keen to learn in a relaxed format and hang out with friendly tour guides

Book that excursion

This is a great platform to book any of your excursions while in Morocco My family specifically booked the excursion to explore Istanbul for a day with Mert who was the most amazing guide We would not have experienced the level of depth within the city culture food without him He even went out of his way and brought us to the Asian side of Istanbul after we mentioned really wanting to go there If you want someone you can trust who is an expert I highly recommend booking through this site for a tour with Mert He is the reason my family enjoyed Istanbul so much and cannot wait to go back There is truly no one I would trust more as a guide in Turkey - I have since booked more excursions through earthissimo for my godparents that s how much I trust him who enjoyed 2 full days of touring with him He was confident that he would take good care of them and he absolutely did He was patient answered their questions and was able to fully immerse them into both the more famous places as well as the lesser known neighborhoods He puts so much effort into his work If you re thinking about booking here don t hesitate

Great Time with Great People

My partner and I had the absolute best time with Mert and Mehmet Going around the Balat neighborhood with two Balat natives gave us an experience we could have never had on our own A mix of local neighborhood food joints and local culture and history - but the best part was that by the end of the tour it felt more like just hanging out with some friends Also they took great pictures of us that we ll always have to remember the day by Would recommend to anyone

Amazing truly local experiences

Mert was amazing We had a phenomenal time with them - they made us feel like true natives in Istanbul Instead of going to the most popular landmarks we loved experiencing Istanbul through lesser known places Mert thoroughly explained the history of the city while also making it feel like we were hanging out with a friend Would highly recommend recommend booking with them

Third time booking and won t be my last

This was my third time booking an experience and it definitely gives my trips that extra something that you just don t get everywhere else I m not an organised tour kind of person but these experiences are different You get an insight into what it s like to live in Istanbul a flavour of places outside of the typical tourist trail and a guide I use that term loosely because they feel more like a local friend to show you around lots of interesting places without feeling rushed It feels very different to some experiences where you can feel like you ve paid for a very impersonal service Highly recommended - and the food I experienced on this third trip was so good Booking the experience was straightforward and easy no issues there at all And I appreciated the extra guides and travel information that were provided beforehand giving some great tips for travellers to Istanbul Thanks Hasan until next time

Okey101 and Backgammon Experience

I did the games okey101 and backgammon experience with lkin and I can t recommend it enough We went to two different coffee houses and spent hours playing together He was kind patient helpful fun a great conversationalist and super knowledgeable about the history and culture of Istanbul happy to talk about various subjects and give insight into life here He also gave a small presentation on the history of coffee and coffee houses in Turkey that was super interesting Going in I felt kinda silly paying someone to teach me games and afterwards I felt it was well worth every penny and even more as I will carry these games with me for life and learned so much during our time together Book today if you want to make your trip to Istanbul even more memorable
