Perfect way to make the Most of a Short Trip! - We had an unforgetable day with Nihal. The pickup from the Hotel was very convenient, the driver was really nice and the care new and clean. Nihal did the Tour in german (she is fluent and very skilled and educated). You could Tell that she really loves history, she knew the answers to all the questions we asked! We discussed the tour and all the things she had planned and she gave us some options as well, according to our preferences. She was really passionate about Showing us Istanbul.

A quick layover visit and worth it. - We were in Istanbul very early in the morning and so did a brief walking tour of the “old” and “new” cities on the European side. We chose to spend more time in the spice market and the Grand Bazaar vs standing in the 2 hour line for Hagia Sophia. We climbed the Galata Tower for some amazing views. Now we have a better idea what to do when we go to spend time there…and we will be going back.

Hakan the BEST Guide - Hakan was such a great guide who listened to our needs and made sure we met and saw all we wanted to see plus extras! Ferry boat ride to Asian side, Taksim Area, Haggia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar and others! Lots of breaks out of the sun and tea and coffee to hydrate❣️ Thank you so much Hakan!

Fantastic Tour - Incredible use of a four hour layover - With only four hours in Istanbul, this was absolutely the BEST way to spend the time. The driver was ready to roll with clear instructions for pick up, and the tour guide was OUTSTANDING and personable. Was able to see Hagia Sofia, outside of Blue Mosque, Patriarchy, and many walking sights - back to flight with plenty of time to spare. I was blown away by how much backstory, history, and insight my guide was able to pack in. We'll absolutely be back for a longer stay. If you are weighing staying in the lounge vs going on an adventure - there's no question. Make a few hours you'll never forget!

Lots of great sights in a short time! - This tour was exactly what we wanted for our 7+ hour layover at IST airport. Hakan was able to customize the tour so we could see the Hagia Sophia, Great Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, Basilica Cistern, & Süleymaniye Mosque all within a couple of hours. This gave us a nice taste of what the city offers, and a desire to come back to tour with him again to get even more details! Communication was easy through WhatsApp, and the meeting place was perfect. The van was clean and modern and the driver was very good at avoiding as much traffic as possible. If you have the time I definitely recommend this tour!
