Amazing!

Volkan was a great guide and customised our tour based on our preferences. He also showed us good places to shop, eat, and buy souvenirs from. He also gave us a good historical context of the sights.

Vulcan was a fantastic tour guide! He was punctual, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and did everything he could to make our day a positive and memorable one. He took so many great photos of us, memories that we will always treasure. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Istanbul!

Excellent private tour! Kemal was absolutely wonderful! He was extremely knowledgeable about all the locations. He took us to a wonderful spot for lunch and took plenty of pictures for us around all the locations. He were able to request spots to see if needed and all our questions answered. The Topkapi Palace is a definite highlight! Beautiful clean vehicle with a fantastic driver. One of our favorite tours for sure! Thank you so much Kemal!

Amazing!

Volcan, our guide, was simply the best. This is our third Viator tour and only in Istanbul. I would give this 10 stars if it was possibe. In one day we saw what would have taken us 3 on our own. We learned so much about Istanbul, its culture and history. If you do only one tour, do this one. We were so happy to be guided by Volcan rather than being in one of the large tour groups that we saw. I highly reccomend. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing!

Istanbul can be a bustling city, having a knowledgeable guide to steer you in the right direction, jump all the queues and give you insight into the history and you walk through the city is a major plus. Big groups are cheaper but a waste of time in my experience. With our fantastic guide Kamal, we had personal attention and could dictate our own pace and linger longer or go faster where we wanted.

We stopped for a brilliant lunch based on his suggestion when our feet got tired, something you cannot do in a big tour

Amazing!

Our guide Sabit Kara was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. Additionally, his sense of humor and superb skill for photography/videography made our tour even more enjoyable and memorable, despite the rain and chilly weather. Sabit’s expertise on Turkish history and culture, mosque architecture, Muslim religion and local cuisine are indeed assets for any tourist. This young man’s eagerness to help using his good communication and interpersonal skills were impressive. Wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
