Brief but interesting - Great tour. Packed a lot in to one day. The only thing is that it would have been better for everyone to have met up rather than being picked up. The guide was very knowledgeable and did a very good job!

Very satisfied - Our guide Alev is very detail and helpful. Was very concerned when my wife felt pain in the hip due to excessive hilly road.

worth it - The guide Onur was exceptional in his knowledge, honesty and helpfulness. Amazing. He knew when and where to spend the most time, how to avoid the crowds and get us through. We took a break for lunch. Even my shallow husband enjoyed it!

Istanbul in your palm - My guide Onur was excellent! From start to finish, he as so patient, so knowledgeable, always willing to share anecdotes and stories about the places we visited, his understanding of the history and coupled with his humour was such a blast! Would recommend him to anyone who comes to Istanbul and want a guide to give them the low down of the city and its historical sites. Had a wonderful day with him and lunch was exceptional to mention.

Onur brought Istanbul’s history to life! - The whole day/evening was wonderful but the icing on the cake was our guide, Onur whose knowledge, energy & authentic desire to share it with us were obvious.

Overall, ok experience - I didn’t realize the entire tour was a walking tour. There is an awful lot of instruction and history, but only a few sights that are covered during the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and did a lot of talking. He was very kind and shared his umbrella when it started to rain. The restaurant chosen was great. The palace is not included in the price, and you have to pay in cash for that which is about $45. The mask was gorgeous and a The mosque was gorgeous and a great experience. We didn’t get much time in the bazaar. Overall, ok experience.

Too much walking for the elderly on Small Group Tour Istanbul - This was a lot of walking which we didn’t know about, my husband and I are nearing our 80’s and it was too much for us. We had to leave the tour early, due to us being exhausted, too many steps etc and both of us are bad with our balance, Tour guide however was very helpful and informative.
