Orube's Travel Club Reviews 

Dilek was an outstanding tour guide!

Our cruise had a long stop in Istanbul, from Saturday at 2:00 PM until Sunday at 9:00 PM. I contacted Dilek well in advance, and from the very beginning she answered all my questions. We arranged a private tour entirely in Spanish (she also speaks English and Turkish), and everything was perfectly organized.

When the day arrived, she was perfectly on time both days, always kind, attentive, and professional. She answered all of our questions, guided us through the city’s main landmarks, and tailored the tour to the places we wanted to visit.

Our goal was to experience Istanbul like locals, and thanks to Dilek, that’s exactly what we did. She showed us authentic places, shared the city’s fascinating history, and gave us recommendations we never would have found on our own.

I highly recommend her! If you want to learn about Istanbul’s history and experience the city like a local, don’t hesitate to contact Dilek.

★★★★★ Excellent Guide in Istanbul

We had the pleasure of spending two full days exploring Istanbul with Cuauhtémoc, and the experience was truly outstanding. Our family group consisted of 13 people, ranging in age from 11 to 85, and every single one of us thoroughly enjoyed the tours.

Cuauhtémoc is an exceptional guide: knowledgeable, engaging, patient, attentive, and very professional. His stories and explanations brought Istanbul’s history and culture to life, and he adapted the pace perfectly to the different ages and needs of our group.

We also greatly appreciated his excellent restaurant choices, food recommendations, and helpful advice throughout our visit. Everything was very well organized, enjoyable, and memorable.

Cuauhtémoc is truly a first-class guide, and we highly recommend him to anyone visiting Istanbul. Thank you for two wonderful days!

We did a 2 day tour with Cuauhtémoc in Istanbul. We were 13 people and it was overall an excellent experience that all the family enjoyed. We visited the most iconic places of the city with a person that knew perfectly the history and the story’s of the city. I highly recommend it

Excellent half day with Dilek. In touch prior to the tour to confirm plans - and highlight some potential logistical challenges around the hotel. Pragmatic and flexible, Dilek ensured we made the most of our half day, seeing a great combination of Istanbul highlights mixed in with valuable local treasures you’d never find by yourself. Very enjoyable and knowledgeable company. Highly recommended.

My family (wife and two small boys under 8) visited Istanbul following a trip to Greece, and had arranged a private guided tour with Dilek to cover: Blue Mosque, Ayia Sofia, and the Basilica Cistern, as well as guiding us on walking tour from our hotel to and between the various sites.

The tour was excellent. The intention was the for the tour to be specifically geared to our two children and I was worried about keeping their attention and making it interesting for them. We had experienced a couple of similar 'kids' tours' in Athens that were disappointing and not really for kids (despite the advertising), but Dilek's tour was a complete contrast: informative, genuinely calibrated to the two boys (she established great rapport with them, especially my eldest, and was very patient), educational (she was teaching and quizzing them!), and very enjoyable. Dilek patiently helped us with photos and was very tolerant and always friendly and helpful.

I can strongly recommend Dilek as a guide for families like ours with small children: you will not be disappointed.

We had a lovely experience with Dilek, so nice and knowledgeable.

Istambul with Dileck Was an awesome experience! Highly recommended! 5 star guide! Very sweet and nice person!

Dilek was very accommodating. Very flexible in what we wanted to see as opposed to a canned tour. Tour of the Grand Bazaar was fantastic
