Great overview of city highlights - Our guide, Omar was great. He went above and beyond to accommodate everyone, even though some members were rude, made unreasonable requests, or didn't listen to what he just told us! He made the experience worthwhile.

Enjoyable tour - Driver was punctual! Great outing and the guide was quite knowledgeable. I enjoyed the visit to the Blue mosque and Hagia Sofia although I didn’t enter the latter. I actually enjoyed the fashion show and I eventually succumbed to pressure to buy a couple of things in the shop given that one could bargain. I wasn’t happy that my bill was arbitrarily inflated by 150 TL for a box of local pastries - I should have paid more attention. I thoroughly enjoyed the bazaar atmosphere 😊 and the enjoyed the haggling and bargaining. Honestly, I just love Istanbul and this tour helped us see the old city for a good price. Thanks to the tour company !!!

Terrible, everyone left the tour - Terrible, terrible, we had to leave the tour. Our guide didn’t know anything, We had to started listening other tours in order to understand. It was a bad experience for everyone from the beginning. Guide didn’t know what was included, we bought cistern, blue mosque and Hagga Sophia. He didn’t took us to the basilica cistern because “It is only water” he really didn’t know anything about history. Don’t waste your money ey and time. I recommend to talk with any guide outside of the historical places, to get a feeling of their knowledge and to book directly with them. We lost our money.
