An excellent way to visit Istanbul! - Erdem the tour guide was very good at timing of visit to various locations, and avoided the long line of tourists and tour groups. Being a private tour, he catered to our speed and needs, and adjusted on the fly very well. Overall, an excellent tour of the highlights of Istanbul.

Excellent Private Guide for Istanbul - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour & our guide, Erdem, was great. We wld highly recommend. We were two people. A few notes: 1. Tour is primarily on foot with public tram RT used to get to the Hagia area. This is not a tour where you will have a driver or car. Tour guide did pay for Tram which I think was abt 4 Euro RT. 2. Tour does not included any entrance fees which are fairly high Hagia Sophia 25 Euro Topkapi Palace 1700 Turkish Lire ( USD 50 ea) Basilica Cistern 950 Turkish Lire ( USD 27.50 eq) 3. As you are essentially hiring a tour guide not sure why charged by person. Whether its one person or three, same time for guide.

An unforgettable day in Istanbul - Our tour guide was knowledgeable and took us for a fascinating tour of the sights in Istanbul. We would not have seen half the things we did if we were on our own. We thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic learning experience - Our tour was fabulous, not only were the sites amazing, our tour guide, Furkan, was the best!! His knowledge of the sites and their history was excellent!! We learned a great deal about Istanbul, Tokapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome, and the Hagia Sofia because of Furkan’s passion for history. He took us to a locals’ restaurant for lunch which served delicious food and was very reasonably priced. Furkan ensured the tour was customized according to our interests and even provided suggestions for the following day when we would be on our own. I would highly recommend this excursion if you are truly interested in seeing, hearing, and learning about Istanbul’s history and culture. For visiting the mosques: Ladies- take a head covering Ladies and Men- wear clothing that covers your knees

Fascinating Trip with Caglar - Istanbul was truly a fascinating city. It was one of my favorite places. Our guide Çağlar was a versatile, knowledgeable and creative guide. We were too full to visit the place we were in. I think you don't need to think at all and I hope you can visit this fascinating city with Caglar.
