Very informative tour of Sultanahmet’s highlights - My wife and I took this tour in late December 2024 on our last day of a week-long trip to Turkey. The organizers went above and beyond, agreeing to pick us up from our hotel although it was technically outside their pick-up area, and later taking great efforts to help when my wife misplaced her phone at the first destination, Topkapi Place. (Thankfully, they found it!). After the initial meetup at Topkapi, this became a walking tour that also included the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, with a stop for lunch. Our guide was a friendly conversationalist with a good historical sense of Istanbul, an evident love for the city, and an enthusiasm to introduce it to his guests. As just one other couple was on the tour, it was almost like having a private guide. We really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it, especially as the price was a great value. There was one stop at a clothing store that we could have done without, but there was no obligation to buy anything we didn’t mind.

Great Experience! - Had the best experience with Acar and Yusuf as our guides. They made sure we got enough time at every monument, helped us with pictures and all the necessary information. I was unwell in the morning of the tour, and I thought I’d have to cancel but Yusuf was so kind as to bring us to the group a little later during the day. Thank you for a great experience and accommodating our needs.

This Is A Most Do Tour - I would highly recommend this tour without a doubt! From the moment I booked the tour, Yusuf stayed in constant communication with me and provided great Customer Service. He even reached out to me a few times during the tour to inquire of my satisfaction throughout the day! It was nice to make his acquaintance when he came to meet me personally at the end of the day. Now about the tour and guide. Being a tour guide myself in Atlanta, Georgia, USA , I can honestly say...Nyzil was amazing! With her 10 ten years of experience, she was not only extremely personable and knowledgeable on everything; even answering our many questions throughout the 7 hours we spent together. There were only 3 of us on the tour so she was able to give us her undivided attention! When I booked the tour, I didn't actually realize that it was a walking tour and we did a lot of it throughout the areas we toured. At Bilgin's (a stop) I purchased a beautiful leather jacket after seeing a short fashion show in their showroom. The Grand Bazaar was just that...wow! I made a few purchases there as well. I was picked up and returned back to my Fox Hotel location exhausted yet wonderfully fulfilled! I want to express my gratitude for such an awesome experience and will always remember the great time I had with Yusuf and his professional team of drivers and tour guide! Thank you very much for making my first time in Istanbul very memorable! Continued success! Many Blessings...

Visit of Sultanhamet - I chose a tour in French. We were a small group: 3 in the morning and 7 in the afternoon. I was the only French woman. The guide spoke mainly English and also French. The visits were interesting.
