Exceptional Tour Guide – Ege Went Above and Beyond - I recently took a tour in Istanbul that included the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Grand Bazaar. Our guide, Ege, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city’s history. He explained everything with such depth and enthusiasm that every stop felt meaningful and alive. His tour of Topkapi Palace was especially outstanding and comprehensive—he brought the history of the Ottoman Empire to life in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow. The tour covered about 6 miles of walking, which was tough for some guests with mobility issues. Even though a few people complained, Ege handled everything with patience and professionalism—it really wasn’t his fault. By the time we reached the Grand Bazaar, only two of us made it to the end, and Ege still kept his energy and enthusiasm, making it just as engaging as the first stop. At the very beginning of the tour, I mentioned that I hoped to see the Basilica Cistern afterward. Ege remembered that and, after the official tour ended, personally took me there and gave me a private tour! He even took some fantastic photos for me during the day, a few of which I’ve shared here. That thoughtful touch really shows how much he cares about giving his guests the best possible experience. Ege truly went above and beyond what anyone would expect. If you’re visiting Istanbul, ask for Ege. He’s one of those rare guides who genuinely loves what he does and makes sure every guest leaves with an unforgettable experience.

Amazing customized private tour of The Old City with Nazli (she is awesome) - We booked Nazli for a private tour of the old city. She was wonderful. She taught us so much history, while customizing the tour to fit our wants and needs. Nazli handled all the entry to each exhibit as well as provided us a great local style lunch. She is worth every dollar you spend on the tour. Book a tour with her and relax as she guides you through history. Thank you so much Nazli

A good tour is as good as its guide! - The tour was well planned and the guide Sabit was very patient with our curiosity. He was full of information and knowledge. Two things that we did not appreciate in the tour. One the lunch was not at a decent place . The itinerary did not mention where lunch was planned. Bukhara 93 is where they took us and it spoils the vibe of the tour with its bad service and unappetizing food. Two the tour does not mention a 30 minute stop at Bilgins that allows us to shop. A 10 min fashion show was best avoided inside Bilgins . It seemed as though the tour operators were acting like commission agents for this shop. Instead the tour should give tourists more time to stroll and shop in Grand Bazaar and the bazaars near the main square. The tour was saved by the knowledge of its guide Sabit.

We had a truly fantastic time in the beautiful city of Istanbul! - Sabit was an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide! By the end of the day, we felt refreshed, not tired—it was like exploring Istanbul with a friend who knows all the best spots. His patience and willingness to accommodate us made the experience even better. Huge thanks to Sabit for giving us such a fantastic time!
