Begin your tour by driving to the very heart of old Istanbul, the Sultanahmet Square. Once the sporting and social centre of Constantinople with a huge horseracing circuit, it is now a beautiful square in the heart of the city and still contains relics of the original structure. Tour its key points and learn about the atmospheric events that would regularly take place here.

The guide was very informative, and respectful of tourists from different nationalities, and different religions. The walk was easy, and fun

The friendly guide took our family on a personal and informative tour of the crucial monuments of Istanbul. My 10-year old also enjoyed the tour and learned a lot.

We loved this tour. We got to see a lot of the city. After the tour ended, we were given ideas of where to go and what to see. It was extremely helpful. We all agreed this was the best tour we were on.

We had a great time. Local Experience Istanbul was super accommodating and helped make the trip perfect for our group. It was very easy to coordinate with them from the States.

great tour, omut was a great guide, knowledgeable and friendly. only reason for 4-stars is the organization of the tour company that omut works for. First, the Viator voucher had two different start times on it, 1300 and 1330, so we had to wait a half hour, so we ate something in the restaurant (meeting point). Then 3 people on the tour were on a bus that was stuck in Istanbul traffic, and were in touch with omut by telephone, so the tour didn't start until 1345 or 1350. I don't know if this was just a city bus, or the transfers that were offered by the tour operator or viator.
anyway the tour was fine, and yes we did stop in a leather goods store at the end for a 6-minute sales presentation, as often happens in these countries, but it was fast, and not high-pressure at all, unlike the comments from others on this site. it was not a big problem.
anyway great tour with omut, we would do it again. thank you omut

I enjoyed that this was a small group walking tour. I was able to see the sights I missed the last time I was in Istanbul.

Nice walking tour however I was first informed I should cancel as the grand bazar was closed and I was the only person signed up and then he wanted me to do the tour the morning of my arrival
Then I was waiting at the Tamara hotel and it was the most useless cafe

The guide did his best and was good but the fact he had to translate 4 x times in English, Italian, Spanish and French meant the tour had no rhythm and we missed out on so much interaction with the guide. We liked the guide but it was poorly organised.
