Great overview tour and friendly, knowledgeable guide. - The tour guide Tayfun Salary was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He was very considerate and made sure that the tour included what we wanted to see and do. We visited the grand Bazaar which was nice and was not pushed into doing any shopping that we did not want. Overall tour was great, the pick and drop off was punctual and we learnt a lot about the history of turkey.

We were picked up... - We were picked up promptly at our Air BnB (which was not easy to find) and Pairy gave us a thorough tour of everything we wanted to see. She knew everyone in town and was treated with respect from all of the people we saw -- from monument docents to shop keepers. She knew secret nooks and crannies of the city we would not have seen otherwise, and her knowledge of Turkish history was detailed and engaging. We shared a traditional Turkish lunch with her, which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this private tour!

We booked a one day tour,... - We booked a one day tour, and we got a lot done in a few hours. The tour guide was good and the skip the line feature helps us a lot. He was kind enough to adjust the tour to our interest. I recommend doing this when you first arrive in Istanbul. Don't hesitate to ask the guide questions, he's very helpful.

Amazing tour - The host was knowledgeable and educated. He took me to the best places and answered all my questions. Have the confidence now to go about out on my own. As a frequent traveler, I have realized to do they walking city tours the very first day that you get here so you can see everything there is to see and go back to where you want go back to.
