Customer Review: “The Istanbul Travel Guide is an insightful and descriptive tourism guide to an ancient and beautiful city. I’ve read many novels set in Istanbul, but I picked this one to learn more about the city itself. The author says, “Istanbul isn’t just a city you visit it’s a city you feel.” I love the sentiment. When I travel, I want to do more than see the sites; I want to immerse myself in a place and get to know the locals. As a history lover, I appreciate the historical timelines included within the book. The modern Istanbul is also impressive. The Eurasia Marathon is a big event celebrating Türkiye. I learned about 40,000 runners from 100 countries. It is a race bigger than the Boston Marathon with roughly 32,000 runners. Readers can also learn about how Istanbul is a city of cats. Stray cats are loved, fed, and cared for. Shopkeepers and customers also welcome them. Istanbul City even takes care of them through vaccinations and veterinary care. The cats symbolize kindness and stand for independence, boldness, and curiosity. I look forward to adding Istanbul to my travel bucket list after studying this book.” — TravelLover42

Customer Review: “This guide is ideal for tactile traveler that still enjoy the feel of a physical guidebook as they become acquainted to their respective destination. In this case our destination is Istanbul, Turkey.What I love so much about how the author formatted this guide is that they take into consideration the importance of knowing the history, customs and districts that encompass the city so that the traveler is both aware and respectful of the cultural dynamics that are cornerstone to the city. The past informs the present, and in this guidebook the author is aware that the past is not something to be overlooked, but rather to be acknowledged in order to fully take in the wonders of Istanbul.My favorite section of the book was the part that included the importance of cats in the culture of the city and how they are cared for rather than seen as vermin or strays unworthy of love.A definite 5/5. Be sure to get your copy today if your planning to tour Istanbul!” — BookWorm_Turkey

Customer Review: “This book captures Istanbul’s heartbeat – the scents, sounds and little human moments. It reads like walking the city with a friend who truly sees it. Beautiful, vivid and full of emotion.” — WanderlustReader

Customer Review: “I’ve read a few travel guides that felt like reading a brochure, but this one? Different. The writer keeps it straight —no fluff, just solid info and smart routes. The food section hit home for me. I could almost taste that kebab stand by the Bosphorus he mentioned. I like how it mixes facts with heart. It’s practical but also gets why people travel in the first place. If you’re the kind who likes a plan but doesn’t want to lose the magic, this book nails the balance.” — FoodieExplorer

Customer Review: “Istanbul transport can be confusing at first, but the sections on trams, metros, ferries, taxis, and walking routes were easy to follow. I appreciated that it explains practical details instead of assuming you already know how the city works. The ferry guidance was a big plus since that’s part of the Istanbul experience. It helped me move around confidently without wasting half my day.” — MetroNavigate
