Mev is the BEST! - Mev made our trip to Istanbul one that we will always treasure. She made us feel safe and knew all the details about the area. Mev is the best guide!

Wonderful layover tour - We recently had an evening layover tour with Latif. He was wonderful, pickup and drop off was easy and he showed us so much in a few hours. We were on our way to Greece for a week but the meal we had with Latif in Istanbul was the best of our whole trip. My kids can’t wait to go back to Istanbul and explore more of Turkey and we will definitely use Latif again. Thank you so much.

See Instanbul with Burak! - Absolutely amazing tour with Burak. We did the extended layover with Turkish airlines and hopes to see Istanbul. So glad we booked. Burak was one of, if not the, best guides we have ever had. Incredibly knowledgeable and personable, amazing English and knowledge of history and culture, as well as helping us experience the food and culture. Make sure you have Burak for your tour.

Fabulous time in Istanbul - Of course, the sights of Istanbul were spectacular, but the layover excursion was flawless from pickup to drop off back at the airport. Making it even better was my private guide, Latif, who was knowledgeable, personable and spoke flawless English. If I do this again, he will be requested.

Wonderful experience! - I want to thank my tour guide Mev for the excellent service. Not only I get to visit Istanbul, I have a better understanding of what's happening in the country. I would highly recommend this layover trip.

Amazing sights with a great guide - Latif was an amazing guide. He was knowledgeable and interesting and worked with our schedule. The company was very flexible in accommodating our baggage requests and they were easy to get in touch with. We had a great personalized experience! Highly recommend.

A fun educational experience - I had a six-hour layover in Turkey Istanbul. My flight came late at night around 11 PM. I was extremely surprised with how flexible the staff were not only picking me up late at night, but making sure that I get back to my flight on time. The Guide was extremely informative about Istanbul’s history from the neolithic era all the way to modern times. it was like having a scholar, teach me personally about historical events that happened in the city. The guide even took my Instagram pictures, which was great lol i Definitely recommend this to anybody and when I come back to Istanbul, I will be taking this company again for another tour!!!

Perfect way to spend your layover in Istanbul! - Latif was fantastic! We had a 12-hour layover in Istanbul, and he made sure we were able to see all the main sites and still get back to the airport with plenty of time to make our flight. He was able to work with our specific flight schedule, and we were able to see all of the major sites. We got to go to the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, the Grand Bazaar, and then we were able to take the ferry to the Asian side for dinner. When we initially got the itinerary, we didn't think we'd be able to do all of that during our layover. But Latif made it happen. We were able to cut the lines to most of the sites, and he was able to answer all of our questions. We learned a lot about Turkey's history, all the way up to the present day. Latif is also an excellent photographer! My wife and I got so many great pictures from our short time in Istanbul. He also took us to an excellent restaurant for dinner on the Asian side of the city, with a chef who was featured on Netflix! The car service to transport us to and from the airport was very nice as well. If you've got a layover in Istanbul and want to see all the main sights, definitely use Istanbul Layover Tours.

Fascinating and healthy layover - My wife and I had an 11 hour layover for our flight on Turkish Airlines from Washington, DC via Istanbul to China. Latif, the owner, provided complete Instructions on how to navigate the airport and contact his agents at the airport. We stored our luggage at the airport. His agents directed us to a taxi/van which took us to the Galata area where we picked him up. The ride is an hour each way along the Golden Horn. He provided an excellent, knowledgeable walking tour of Sultanamet and we finished with a ferry ride to an excellent restaurant. Tips: charge cards work for entries, stop by a Bank ATM for Latif’s fee by debit card (some cards reimburse bank fees), you don’t need to convert to Turkish Lire, and you can contact Latif by FaceTime or WhatsApp for a worry free, healthy break in your long flight. Istanbul and Turkey is beautiful and fascinating for a return trip.

Istanbul layover - We enjoyed learning about the history of Istanbul, the tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area.
