What an incredible experience! Communication was good on pick up and drop off. Our driver was great and the vehicle very clean. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable not only about the places we visited but gave us the history of how and why these structures are here. We discovered so much about world history and the incredible role Istanbul played. We enjoyed the ability our guide had for "streamlining" our wait times into the buildings. We loved his recommendation for lunch - such a local favorite and now ours as well. Thank you, thank you for the wonderful day!

Yasin was a wonderful guide. He was responsive to our pre-tour communication, prompt in picking us up at the airport, and very knowledgeable about Istanbul and Turkey. He helped us squeeze in as much as we could during our six hour layover in Istanbul. Highly recommend!

Yasin was excellent and very knowledgeable! We had 8 hours on 2 different occasions and he knew all the right places to take us around. We didn’t waste any time. He is very easy to talk to, dependable and friendly! I will definitely be reaching out when we come again! Thank you so much!!

We had a very pleasant time in İstanbul because of them. They are very professional and they were guiding us through everything in detail. Because of them we were able to see a lot of places in such a short time.

If I could give 100 stars I would! This isn’t just another tour - you get to hang out with a local. I only had a 10 hour layover and with the airport being so huge, I didn’t want to explore the city on my own time and risk being late or getting lost.
Yasin met me and the driver took us to the city while Yasin gave me some history. He even let me connect to his wifi so I could quickly text my mom that I landed.
From there, we saw the typical sites but I also learned so much. I told Yasin i wanted to try a lot of food, so we got a proper dinner, which is nothing I’ve ever had on a tour! It was nice to just hang out with someone who felt like a friend!
I highly recommend this tour company - they are punctual, professional, kind, and fun!

Yesil was absolutely amazing in helping us explore Istanbul! He picked us up from the airport and dropped us back in time. We had a 9 hour layover and this time was used productively. He went above and beyond in ensuring that our family was comfortable and had a great experience exploring all the highlights of Istanbul. He was kind and patient and explained about the history of the places we visited. The mini van we rode in was luxurious and comfortable. Our driver drove us safely around the city. We highly recommend Yesil and his company for a luxurious and fun way to explore Istanbul, especially if you have a layover, have little kids and are pressed for time. Excellent service! Highly recommended!

Had the BEST layover tour with Magic Way Travel! I was traveling alone and wanted to fit in as much as possible for my 12 hour layover. It was incredible! My guide met me outside baggage claim and safely transported me through Istanbul straight to the Sultanahmet Square. This is the center of things I wanted to see. Learned about the amazing history that was everywhere. My guide taught me about the Kaiser Wilhelm II fountain, the Column of Constantine Porphyrogenitus, the Egyptian Obelisk, and the Serpentine Column. We walked everywhere so bring good walking shoes! From the square, we walked to the Serefiye Cistern (beautiful, historical and memorable!), the bazaar where you can buy anything and easily get lost, the Blue Mosque (it was closed for renovation), and, my life-long dream, the Hagia Sophia. Words cannot describe the fantastic beauty and incredible history of each place, but the Hagia was worth the trip alone. Will absolutely return and use Magic Way again! Highly recommend. My guide took wonderful care of me, gave me all the highlights I wanted and safely transported me to/from the airport.

My family and I had 3 separate layovers in Istanbul in a span of 2 weeks. Yesil was very friendly, flexible and accommodated for us for each layover. He showed us the full experience of Istanbul where we got a taste of the food, culture, and the major sites and attractions. I would definitely recommend this group for any first timers in Istanbul.
