Amazing tour of Istanbul - We booked the full day private tour for when we visited Istanbul on a cruise. The booking process was very easy and communication excellent. We met our guide Volkan at the terminal where he had a very spacious vehicle waiting for us. We had an amazing day visiting old Istanbul finishing off with a stop at the Spice Bazaar. Volkan was extremely knowledgeable and an excellent guide. We would certainly recommend Turkish Tours and Volkan to anyone visiting Istanbul
