Very nice experience - Very nice experience. Guide was knowledgeable and took us to different destinations in a cab and explained everything properly.

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 Alu

Great tour with our guide... - Great tour with our guide Baris! He was a wealth of information and went above and beyond. Very friendly, excellent English. So much “inside” knowledge and he arranged quick access to all of the sires- no long lines! He even booked us dinner reservations last minute at a top restaurant. Outstanding.

Amazing day spent with a very professional tour guide - Learning about the history, seeing the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace and the cistern, and the Haggia Sophia. Also impressed by the river, the gold horn and the joining of the two continents

Nice trip - Fun trip with a good guide. We saw all the key cites and were able to skip many lines. We particularly liked the cisterns

High points of Istanbul in a day - We wanted a private tour that could take us to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia that we could take at our own pace. This exceeded our expectations and provided so much more. Yuksel and our driver Mustafa, met us at our hotel on time and with a beautiful clean vehicle. Both were courteous and friendly. Yuksel spoke English well, and provided information about the places, answered questions and suggested photo vantage points. In addition he guided us through the interesting Topkapi Place and directed us in the maze of the Grand Bazaar as we searched for gifts to take to family. Our guide checked how tired we were and suggested well timed breaks. When we were finished walking we were picked up near the Bazaar to return to our hotel. It was the last day of a two week trip and this adventure turned into 6 memorable hours. It was a fantastic experience could not recommend it more!

Wonderful Day in Istanbul - Istanbul is a very large city and what we wanted to see was not strictly contained within the old city walls. Visiting without the services of an experienced tour guide like Anil would have been difficult. We appreciated his knowledge and temperament. He also suggested a wonderful place for lunch.

Amazing guide - The guide was excellent, however the agency forgot us and we had to call them back and the departure time was postponed. The rest with the guide went really well, he was a very kind person and passionate about his work, a big thank you to Fatih.

Great tour - Great tour! When booking ask for Anil, very knowledgable tour guide! Able to customise tour and see sights we wanted to see within the time frame.

Don’t waste your money or time - We got a guide who was a hustler, lots of stories all BS I think and ran us through two major attractions and didn’t take us to Basilica Cistern as asked but was taken to a cheap one as easier to get in and out, he used our time to take us to all his friends to try and sell us some thing, since we didn’t buy much the tour was over and we had to redo some on our own. A total waste of money I would absolutely get a guide though your hotel or once there as not needed except for two attractions only in my opinion- save time and money and a feeling of being taken as an idiot!
