Best layover experience - Yasin Topcu was a amazing guide. I had a early layover of 6am. The private van picked me up promptly at 7am at the airport. Then went to city center~45 travel. Yasin was waiting for me and immediately started the tour. I was a solo traveller and wanted so see all that I can. Yasin did not skip a beat. We walked around for 5 hours seeing all the sights I wanted and guiding me to the best parts. I am a foodie so he showed me all the good Turkish food. Best Doner Kabobs I ever had!

8 hour layover in Istanbul, Perfect Personal Tour! - Amazing way to spend a long layover! Tailored to see what we wanted to see, and extra touches to give it a chance in a lifetime feeling. We highly recommend this tour group for personal service from the time you step out of the airport until they return you for your flight. Truly worth it!

Great experience! - Excellent, friendly, professional tour guides! This is my second time using this company and I will definitely use them again. I’ve been very impressed with the quality of service and the reasonable price compared to other companies. Both times they were very helpful in working with me to adjust the tour according to what I wanted to see and do. Keep up the great work!

Fabulous Istanbul tour - We had layover in Istanbul for a few hours and we knew that it won’t be enough for such large and interesting city. But still we decided to use this opportunely and booked Istanbul Layover tour in advance. And we absolutely had no regret. Our travel guide was exceptional. Iskander is a very knowledgeable, polite guide with perfect English. He made our three hours in Istanbul as unforgettable pleasure. We just had enough time to visit Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Sultanahmet Square and Grand Bazaar. We also spare some time to treat yourself with incredible Turkish coffee, tea and fantastic BAKLAVA. Iskander, thank you very much for your memorable tour!

Amazing! - Definitely worth the cost of a tourist visa to get out of the airport and see a bit of Istanbul. My guide Emre was very easy to communicate with and shared his city with pride and enthusiasm. The food, food and more food was delicious. The ambiance of the shisha bar with the Turkish lights was relaxing and fun. I will go back to Turkey one day!
