The best and most informative tour in Istanbul! - Great tour! The tour guide Ferhat was excellent, he was so knowledgeable and able to tell us so much history. We booked at the last minute and they really worked with us going out of their way to arrange the tour for us. The food was great and it was nice to be able to go from place to place using the ticket they provided. We would definitely recommend taking this tour, especially if it is your 1st time. We plan to go back and are going to use them the next time also. If you want the best you want to use them!!!!!

I Would Highly Recommend This Tour - I would highly recommend this group tour when exploring Istanbul and this one we took with Guided Tours of Istanbul was excellent. Ferhat, our tour guide, was exceptional. He was punctual, friendly, well informed, non intrusive and fun. Usually a tour guide can sound very recorded when providing information but Ferhat made the interaction seem very personal and fun. İt was like we were hanging out with another friend. He not only gave us a lot of insight into the attractions we attended but also life in Istanbul in general. He was very accommodating of our schedule and he adapted the information he provided based on our interest levels.

Fun informative tour - The tour was done professionally and our tour guide Burak was charming. He was helpful, informative, and patient. The pick up was on time. Our guide told us of other things we could do within walking distance, which was nice.

Excellent experience, very good guide - Very entertaining tour, you know the most important monuments of the historical center of Istanbul and ends with a delicious lunch. Our guide, Fatih and Ferhat, was very entertaining and managed to explain clearly what Istanbul has meant in history. We were lucky that the tour was only for the 6 of us, which allowed us to make the most of it Excellent value for money

Great experience - Loved the tour! The company was very flexible, allowing us to change the date of our tour to the next day when we realized the main attraction was closed that day. Fatim shared so much interesting history on the sights and took us to see all the places we were interested in.

Thank you! - I only have two words for my friends of Old City Travel in Istanbul: Thank you! They made possible to know the best of downtown Istanbul even with our limited time, the food was great, but the best part is the people! They helped us with and issue with my son and everything worked well to have a happy ending, I will never forget that, thank you very much!
