10 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - I advise this agency, very welcoming, very informative sympathy, it was my second day in Istanbul and I knew nothing since the streets are all the same, the very professional Abdel contacted me where he informed me that he was not entitled to pick-off at the hotel, where with his professionalism he informed me that he was just over 1 kilometer from the hotel, where he sent me the coordinates to return to the hotel. I gave this agency 5 stars but it deserved 10 stars. Thank you Abdel

Best way to see Istanbul, I highly recommend - The tour was incredible. It really gives you access to the main attractions of Istanbul. What really helps is the information you get from the guide. Our guide knew all the history and he explained it very well. He gave us details to how everything was built and how history transpired from Blue mosque, hagia Sophia, the palace etc. I really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend

10/10. Above and beyond - We went on a half day tour that covered hippodrome, blue mosque, hagia sophia (entrance fee for Hagia Sophia was not included as part of the package), grand Bazaar. The tour guide Elif was very welcoming and friendly. She answered all our questions patiently and eloquently. She set a nice vibe early on the tour and had a good rapport with everyone who took the tour. The organiser Abdel, and Elif helped us out till the very end even with hailing a cab ensuring our safety in returning to the hotel. Kudos to the team.

The tour was okay.... - The tour was okay. Apparently we never managed to visit the Bazar since on Sundays is closed which is something they should note on their website. I find it expensive to just have a four hour Tour for 50$ and not be able to accomplish it.
