Our expertise lies in historical sites and locations of significance. We specialize in areas of historical importance in Turkey. Turkey has deep roots in both Judaism and Christianity, which is why our professional tour guides are equipped with extensive knowledge of the history, culture, and theology of both religions. This allows us to offer a unique and diverse perspective of Istanbul that is enriched by our understanding of these important historical and cultural influences. Let us guide you within this rich culture, anyway your imagination turns.
Tailored Itineraries with Personal Touch
Our tours do not have pre-set itineraries. This allows us to custom design the itineraries to match our guests’ individual needs and interests. To arrange the best possible itineraries, we work as a private concierge service. In other words, we only finalize the reservation when we know we have matched our guests’ desires.
We can even organize special programs off the beaten path, which depends on our guests’ time and availability. We also offer private tours in Cappadocia, Ephesus, and the Blue Cruises.

Hagia Sophia
The immortal cathedral of Hagia Sophia, now called the Ayasofya Mosque, is unquestionably one of the finest buildings of all time. Built as a testament of faith by Justinian between 532 and 537 it was the center of Christian worship.
Topkapi Palace
On a spit of land at the confluence of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn stands the regal Topkapi Palace, the maze of buildings at the center of the Ottoman Empire between the 15th and 19th centuries.
Blue Mosque
Facing St. Sophia stands the supremely elegant, six minareted imperial Sultan Ahmet Mosque. Built between 1609 and 1616 by the architect Mehmet, the building is more familiarly known as the Blue Mosque thanks to its amazing blue tiles.

Why Consider a Private Guided Tour of Istanbul: Expert Insights and Personalized Experiences
From the ancient architectural wonders like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, to the bustling bazaars and the delicious Turkish cuisine, Istanbul has something to offer everyone.
We (2 couples) spent 3 days in Istanbul with Umit Yildirim, our tour guide from Eskinazi Tourism Ltd. I had reviewed several tour companies and selecting Eskinazi and Umit was the best decision I made. Not only was Umit fluent in English, but he was also extremely knowledgeable with the history of Turkey and the sites. Umit presented the information in such a way that we became well educated with this ancient history. We spent 7-8 hours each day touring all the important sites as well as the city of Istanbul both on the European and Asian sides in a luxury Mercedes van. He took us to classic Ottoman and Turkish restaurants for lunches–not tourist spots. The tour was capped off on the 3rd day with a 2-hour Bosphorus Cruise in a Private Yacht. We are all still raving about this tour. Do yourself a favor and look no further than Eskinazi.
