Hi, I’m Rose.
Join My Tours
I offer both private tours for individuals, couples and families, and small group tours where you’ll meet fellow travellers who share your curiosity. Either way, the experience is carefully guided, never rushed, and always personal.
Whether you’re joining a group or booking privately, you’ll have my full attention, plenty of time to ask questions, and the freedom to linger wherever Istanbul catches your heart.
This is about showing you what Istanbul is really like — not a glossy postcard version, but the living, breathing, delicious, occasionally chaotic city I’ve called home my whole life.
Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources
Below are my favorite companies to use when I travel. They are always my starting point when I need to book a flight, hotel, tour, car rental, or travel insurance.
- Booking.com – A reliable all-around booking site with a wide selection of hotels, guesthouses, and budget accommodation.
- Expedia – A useful platform for comparing hotels, flights, packages, and travel deals.
- Viator & Tripadvisor – Great for finding tours, activities, day trips, and local experiences.
- GetYourGuide – A large marketplace for tours, excursions, guided walks, food experiences, and activities.
- Airbnb – A good option for apartments, unique stays, and longer-term accommodation.
- Skyscanner – My favorite flight search engine. It searches budget airlines and smaller sites that larger platforms often miss.
- SafetyWing – Affordable travel medical insurance for digital nomads, long-term travelers, and people on the road.
- Discover Cars – A car rental comparison site that helps you find rental deals for road trips and airport pickups.
