Amazing!

Our tour, by luck, turned into a private tour. The transport was clean and professional, and our guide was delightful. Her knowledge of the history and art in the Hagia Sophia was thorough and interesting, and she gave us a good heads up as to what to look at in the Grand Bazaar. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful experience we had, Ali was attentive and knowledgable. He went above and beyond to ensure we got the best out of all the attractions, whilst keeping the expected elements such as queuing to a minimum. This tour gave us the maximum enjoyment for the limited time we had in Istanbul, we cannot recommend this excursion highly enough.

Wonderful tour with our guide Fatma. After pick up at the cruise port we drove to the hippodrome to begin the tour. Every highlight was in walking distance from there. Nice pace to see them all in half a day but unfortunately the line to get into the blue mosque was extremely long so we opted to see the courtyard only. Fatma was very accommodating to the needs of the group.

Amazing!

This was one of the best tours I have been on. Our guide Alize was absolutely excellent - very open, friendly and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Alize went the extra mile and invited me and my husband to join the full day tour people for a traditional Turkish lunch and it was delicious and a nice way to get to know your fellow travelers. 10/10 😊
