Knowledgeable guides make a difference - Our guide Erin was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about Istanbul, Turkey and the long history of the region. We were able to see all the major sites in one long day. It never seemed boring or slow. Erin answered all of our questions about the city, history, culture and daily life. Without a doubt I would recommend Erin to family and friends traveling to Istanbul

Entertaining, interesting tour. Wonderful guide - Ali Arslan was the best guide I’ve had in Istanbul. He was patient, fun, willing to go above and beyond the normal tour experience. I learned so much about Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire. At the end of the tour he even took us on an extra special excursion to a wonderful little bazaar that isn’t normally on the itinerary. Thank you Ali!

Wonderful experience - We had a great time with Cihan. At the outset, we mentioned that we had been to Istanbul and were familiar with the big 'must see' sites and wanted to cover a
few different ones. He was happy to do so, unlike another agency on Viator that canceled our booking. So, this last minute booking worked out very well for us. We had great conversations on history and culture of this wonderful city and culture. We used the tram and walked a fair bit. He got us back in time for boarding the cruise ship. Overall, a terrific day and 5 star service from Cinan.

Excellent service and friendliness - The tour guide knew a lot about history. He told us a lot about his Muslim beliefs and traditions. He took us to the Sultan Ahmed and Hagia Sophia mosques for quick access and very extensive explanation. We also went to the Grand Bazaar and spice and pottery shops. He was very friendly and took very good photos of us.
