Excellent tour of Istanbul’s Must-See sites! - Ugur was a wonderful tour guide! The tour included all as described. Though lines can be long, he knew which sites to see in which order to minimize the waits. Provided a wonderful history lesson as well. We even had time for a coffee or tea break and a snack. He also provided guidance through the Grand Bazaar, which was very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

A perfect day in Istanbul - A friend and I were planning a trip to Istanbul and decided to splurge on an all day guided tour-and we are sure glad we did! Aykut was communicative beforehand and punctual with our meeting time. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions while also offering lots of information about the places we visited. He is very good at what he does and you can tell he enjoys his work. We had a great time and would definitely recommend him as a way to orient yourself to the city and get the highlights of some of the main attractions. Thank you for a great day, Aykut!
