Great Day Tour - The day tour is packed with many experiences in just one day. We got to see the highlights of Istanbul. Mosques, cisterns, Grand Bazaar, Palace, museums, and Turkish rugs shopping experience. Zedat went above and beyond for us. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I'd recommend this tour to anyone especially if you only have a short visit to Istanbul.

Prompt efficient and knowledgeable - Everything was perfect. They met us at cruise ship and took us to blue mosque and spice bazaar and to airport hotel The car was clean and beautiful. Excellent driver Our guide sherif aral was outstanding. Extremely knowledgeable and with impeccable English explained everything Could not have been happier with our experience

Best day in Istanbul, this is the tour to book - We are on Mediterranean cruise, and one of the main ports is Istanbul. After careful research I thought I could cover the city on my own with the information I acquired. I could not have been more wrong. BOOK THIS TOUR. Our guide is Özgür Acar, that’s his name. He was incredible, he took us all over place I would not have ever been able to see not speaking the language and not knowing the cable car system. When we came back to ship, people were complaining about the tour from cruise lines and the tours from the city itself. Not us!!! We could not have been anymore happy and grateful to Özgür. Keep in mind you still have to buy your tickets for Hag Sophia and the Blue Sistern so buy those tickets on line before you go.

Great walking tour of Istanbul, wonderful history and shopping experience. - we experienced so many amazing historic sites on this walking tour of old Istanbul. Our guide really knew all of the sites and the history of these iconic places. Definately the best way to see Istanbul.

Life now and and history in Istanbul - Ali, was intuned to our excitement about life in Istanbul/Turkey, culture, customs, history of people, buildings and objects. He knew all, where to find beautiful rugs and such. He was cultured and knowledgeable. Tours and guiding in Cisterns and Hagia Sophia are unforgettable. He picked us up from hotel on time and in comfortable AC vehicle. We need to come to Istanbul again!

Interesting, fun and crowded - Our tour guide, Fatih, was very knowledgeable and told us many interesting stories about the sights along the way and the ones we visited. He took us from Galataport via bus to the center of town where we walked over what was the Hippodrome, went inside the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and The Basilica Cistern and visited a beautiful leather shop where they served us Turkish coffee and tea. We stopped for lunch at a quaint artist courtyard where they teach and display ceramics and had an amazing lunch. Fatih watched over us to be sure we were able to keep up and have enough time for photos. Since our ship planned 2 days in Istanbul, Fatih wrote instructions for us so we could go on our own the next day to the Spice Market or just explore. Despite warnings we’d heard about safety concerns, Fatih assured us it was no more dangerous than our towns in the US. I found Istanbul to be very clean and the people very polite and hospitable although there are some pretty aggressive vendors in the spice market! It was a hot and exhausting day but so many amazing sights, loved it!

Highly recommended trip with a well informed guide. Spend the money. - Our guide Murat was friendly, helpful and well-informed. We had a wonderful day exploring Istanbul’s ancient treasures. Highly recommended.

Bulut is awesome - We had Bulut as a guide and he was awesome! He took us to a local place to eat, the Pudding Shop, which was very yummy. Please be aware if you want to go inside Blue Mosque and Topaki palace it will cost an additional $75 per person. I had been messaging what they said was my guide but he was not my guide and they did not pass the message on to Bulut. One of the messages was that our cruise ship had changed our arrival time by 2 hours. We were very lucky that Bulut waited even though he did not get the message.

Great guide, great times - The guide was extremely knowledgeable, he was very friendly. And knew when to come back to places later if there were long queues etc. We were completely satisfied with his services. Istanbul is a wonderful city.

Awesome!! - OMG!!! Our tour guide was fabulous. He was so knowledgeble of past and present times of the city. We took in so many sites and experiences that I will definately be back to Istanbul. He was flexible in our needs of what we wanted to do; such as delicious food and a Turkish Bath. The one he brought us to was excellent. I actually went back to the Turkish bath the next day. He also gave us tips on how to navigate the city.
