The only way to see Istanbul - Our guide was absolutely amazing. We were able to see many of the highlights of the city and even with the amount of attractions we saw, we were never rushed and were able to learn and enjoy. Our guide knew the local history and displayed a sense of local and pride and ownership that was terrific. It was terrific!!

A great day, definitely worth it. - Our tour guide was Volcan who was very knowledgeable about everything in the Sultanamet district, including Topkapi Palace, Aye Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Cistern, etc. He also was very easy going and pleasant to talk with and ask questions of. He arranged for a sequence of attractions to minimize walking distance to accommodate my bad hip. Note that with even the best of sequencing this tour includes a LOT of walking. They pick you up at your hotel and return you but the rest of the time is walking. All these attractions are close in the old city but the total adds up so be prepared. Having pre-purchased or priority purchase for attractions as well as entrance line priority saves a tremendous amount of precious tour time. This by itself makes going private worth the money in my opinion. For lunch you can choose street food, locals type sit down (which we did and it was great) or a more formal sit down restaurant. Time is budgeted but cost is not included so you are free to pick what you like. This tour covers all the attractions in the old city except the Archaeological Museum which requires several hours by itself and a specialized guide. I recommend this tour and especially our guide to anyone wanting a comprehensive private tour of the old city and it's many attractions. It may seem expensive but it does include almost $100 per person in entrance fees that most other tours exclude. Definitely worth it.

Perfect Tour - Oscar Tour - Guide was OUTSTANDING! His knowledge was second to none. He is clearly passionate about the landmarks he showed us and goes above and beyond to gain and share his knowledge of them. In all of my travels, I truly rank this tour as one of my top tours.

Old town Istanbul walking tour - Serkan, our tour guide, was awesome! He introduced himself on WhatsApp shortly before the meeting at our hotel. He was punctual and arranged the pick up to and from our hotel with the drivers for us. Serkan spoke English well and was very knowledgeable; The tour was not rushed and lasted about 7 hours including a stop for lunch. We saw all the famous mosques as well as a palace and cistern in old town Istanbul and even walked thru the Grand Bazaar and Hippodrome area. The tour was a great value for the time spent and included all site entry tickets. Thank you Serkan for a very memorable time in Istanbul.

First class tour of Istanbul - Our guide Batuhan was absolutely fantastic. He was engaging, friendly and very knowledgeable. The tour itself was excellent, we took in almost all the sights across Istanbul and very much enjoyed it. We booked this private tour at the last minute (and I mean the very last minute, 60 minutes before) and Mehmet (organiser) was spectacular in getting everything organised in less than an hour. It was first class. We had booked one of those group tours with another company and it was chaos, standing outside waiting for tickets etc. So we left and booked our own. It was an excellent decision. If you're booking a tour of the sights in Istanbul definitely give Mehmet a call, he's brilliant.
