The best decision for a short stay in Istanbul - This was a great choice. After debating wether to get a tour package from the airport (don’t do it!) we decided to wait and only do this 1-day tour and it was the best decision! We requested a tour in Spanish and it didn’t cost us more (airport tours asked for a 250USD fee for a Spanish speaking guide) Yuksel was very knowledgeable and accommodating, he knew all the tricks to skip lines and took us to great shops in the bazar. He recommended us an itinerary for the following day which was a fraction of what we would have paid had we gotten the airport tours. If I have a chance to go back to Istanbul with the rest of my family I’d definitely get this option again.

Private Guided Istanbul Day Tour - We really enjoyed our private guided Instanbul day tour. Our tour guide, Umut, was terrific and went above and beyond in making us feel welcome. He even helped us purchase tram tickets for the next day and suggested another site we could visit on our own. We were pleased that we booked the private tour as it felt very individualized to our interest in the history of the area.We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Good tour - Good tour of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia Mosque and Grand Bizarre. We did not enjoy the stop at the carpet shop and sales pitch. Guide did a nice job getting us to the cruise terminal.
