Best Seller; Private Guided Istanbul Tour

Sedat Gülen was our private guide during 3.5 days in Istanbul. We went to the main landmarks, he advised us where to eat and buy. It was an unique experience that for sure we will hope and like to repeat again. Thanks Sedat for your outstanding companion during these days.

The sites were amazing, featuring tons of historic buildings and beautiful artwork and architecture. My guide, Ugurcan, took me to the best place to see how carpets are made and showed me around the Grand Bazaar. The whole experience was a 10/10; I highly recommend it.

We had such an informative and interesting day with Ali. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. He answered all of our questions and made the tour of the sites much more interesting and fulfilling. We really enjoyed it.

Wonderful tour. My husband and I were picked up at the port after our cruise and dropped off at our hotel at the end, so convenient. Our tour guide (Cugcuk, I'm sorry I may have spelt that completely incorrect) was amazing. He shared so much knowledge on the history of the area and buildings. We visited the major sights as stated in the description, had lunch at the Grand Bazaar, and had sufficient time to browse around. There was about an hour wait to the Hagia Sofia and unfortunately the Blue Mosque was closed for entry due to Friday prayer. A lot of walking which we were okay with. Overall we really enjoyed this tour and definitely recommend it for your first time in Istanbul.

Very thorough walking tour that hits all the main must-see spots in central Istanbul. Going as a couple with a guide is much better than being part of a big group! Our guide, Faut, had special skills at getting us through long lines quickly which saved both time and energy. He was also helpful and reassuring about the rules that pertain to visiting mosques. Personally, I could have done without the stops at the carpet and pottery stores; I suggest you tell the guide you would rather do something else unless you are really here to try your skills with a Turkish rug merchant.

Istanbul is very crowded and busy. This was a great way to see it without feeling overwhelmed. Our guide was very informative and let us set our own pace.

our guide was amazing, he took the time to show us all we could see in the time we had.

it was a wonderful experince

This was a great tour. Our guide orchun knew how to navigate through the area and reduce the amount of time spent standing in lines with everyone else. So much to see in one day, lots of walking but well worth the effort.

This tour company saved my vacation. I had accidentally booked our tour for the wrong day- but we were on a cruise and only in port for one day. They immediately rearranged everything and found us a tour guide who arrived at the Galataport within twenty minutes. Ugurcan handled everything for us- we skipped lines any time we needed to buy a ticket, he took us to the sights we wanted to see in the most efficient way so that even with our late start we saw everything on our list. All that and he had the best retreat in the grand bazaar to pause and try Turkish coffee! He was personable and knowledgeable, and I am just delighted with our Istanbul experience.

My wife and I had a wonderful time in Istanbul. Thanks to this excursion and more importantly to Naz, our guide. She was friendly and courteous and made sure we were comfortable and made sure we covered all the sites. We highly recommend this excursion.
