This tour was amazing! - The guide was very qualified and he obviously took pride in his work and amazed us. The tours of the historical buildings we went were very memorable. For the price it was worth the cost.

Awesome tour, throughly enjoyed it! Best guide ever! - Very good tour to see a lot of old city Istanbul historical sites. If you only have a day to spend touring Istanbul like me, this is a great tour you may want to consider. Our tour guide Emil was amazing! Not only was she informative, educational and professional, she also made it fun and humorous at times. She honestly deserves all 5 stars as a guide. Thank you Emil, Istanbul, and the other great people in my tour group for making this a day to remember indeed!

Not worth it. - Terrible. The guide walked in front of us and very fast. He was hard to understand. And he seemed disorganized. Then all of the sudden he brought us to a store, put us through a fashion show and tried to have us buy. Not at all what I signed for. Then he dropped us at the bazar and told me where to meet him later. I felt uncomfortable with tour so I told him I was done.
