A Must for First-Time Visitors - Our tour was very pleasant. A few days before our tour, one of the tour operators contacted us, informing that our guide, Mr. Unal, would meet us at our hotel lobby with further information. Mr. Unal arrived on time and gave us a great overview of Istanbul before we started our tour. It's important to note that they don't offer car services for pick-up. However, there's no need for a car as all the monuments are located close to each other in Sultanahmet, which is mostly closed to traffic. So, we had to walk everywhere once we reached the location. We used public transportation with Mr. Unal, who helped us with all directions. It was actually a great experience using Istanbul's public transportation. We took the tram to Sultanahmet, which was a bit crowded but clean with nice air-conditioning. During our tour, we visited the Blue Mosque, then saw the Hippodrome, followed by Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Grand Bazaar. This tour included all museum ticket fees as well as lunch, so we didn't need to purchase anything, and the food was amazing. Mr. Unal took us to a very famous local meatball place called "Sultanahmet Koftecisi Selim Usta," which we recognized was well-known by both locals and tourists. The history of Istanbul and all these monuments is incredible. We heard a lot and learned a lot from Mr. Unal, who was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient with our many questions. He didn't just bombard us with historical information, but also gave us insight into daily life in Istanbul, news, local lifestyle, and a bit of politics. It was great talking with our guide. Our guide was very experienced with Turkish handicrafts, art, antique materials, and beautiful souvenir shops. He helped us a lot in finding good places. We are very happy we chose this tour for our Istanbul experience and highly recommend it to everyone visiting Istanbul for the first time!
