Additional Information
Istanbul has such a diverse and rich history. It has been the capital of three great empires; the Roman, Byzantine (Eastern Roman) and the Ottoman. Although it is not the official capital anymore, it is still the cultural capital of the country.
There is so much to see or to do in this city. Visitors would normally need more than one day to explore Istanbul.
However, for those visitors who are coming to Istanbul for the first time and have rather limited time, we would recommend this tour for the first day of sightseeing in Istanbul.
The program will include visits to mosques, a cistern, a palace, a hippodrome, a bazaar and a panoramic terrace.

Osman Günay - the best guide in town - Osman gave us an insightful tour of Hagia Sophia and then the following day at the Archaeological Museum. We skipped the lines and then enjoyed an hour of interest and insights. The best thing about Osman is that he delivers the right amount of information before moving onto another highlight. If you want to hear more, he will gladly provide. Osman does not give you an endless list of facts and dates. Instead, Osman opens your eyes to what is in front of you and what is hidden. And he does this in an entertaining and engaing way. Well worth the reasonable cost.

Avoid at any cost - Please avoid them if possible. My Tour was booked 1 month in advance. A day before tour when I call up - they mention it cancelled due to bad weather. I am sitting in Istabul with no inkling of bad weather- hence was surprised by the reason for cancellation. Also they mention that refund will be provided after 14 days. I think Get your Guide has found a new business model of making money out of interest.
