Our guide was Zekiye. Because of her experience and connections we were able to see much more by avoiding long, long lines thereby saving valuable viewing time. She was extremely knowledgeable, communicated very well, helpful and pleasant. We could not have had a better guide.

We saw all the main sites and heard the history of Turkey and Istanbul
Our guide was knowledgeable and obviously very experienced in reading where to go to avoid the queues. Towards the end of the day she spent time giving us options and help with shopping . Istanbul is one massive shopping opportunity if that is your thing . A great guide and lovely with it

Being in Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque were unforgettable experiences. They are true wonders of architecture and engineering, exceptional works of art! Walking around the park like area was delightful too. We enjoy seeing Topkapi and our guide was excellent in getting us around to see the highlights of the area in a very compressed time frame. The absolute best part of the day was our Hamam and massage at the Ayasophia spa, another beautiful place.

Our private tour with Leyla was absolutely terrific and worth every penny. We decided to book a private tour because my husband tires easily and we were afraid that it would be a problem trying to keep up with a group tour. They can be very exhausting. Leyla was very caring and considerate. We saw everything that we wanted to but my husband wasn't exhausted at the end. We highly recommend Leyla!

Erkan was not only knowledgeable, but since my wife had a knee replacement her walking pace and duration was limited and he was most gracious and understanding. Even with the limitations we were able to take in all the sites we expected plus a great lunch place he knew about to give us a break when needed. Highly recommended!

I chose this tour because it was all inclusive. Our guide took care of obtaining all entry tickets for us before the tour began. No downloads. No lines. The pre tour communication was excellent. The pick up at the Cruise Port was seamless.

Ceren was our private guide for the day. She is the consummate professional. Not only does she know her historical material, but she managed our group expertly. Istanbul is a walking city, especially in the Historic Section. All of the sites have a lot of steps and not a lot of ramps. No elevators. We were a group of 9 with varying walking ability. The tour date was complicated by a marathon being run through the Historic Section which led to numerous road closures. There were no open roads that morning for a van and a lot of crowds.

Ceren was very careful about keeping an eye on the group. The Grand Bazaar is closed on Sundays so we pre-arranged to see the Basilica Cistern instead and she obtained these tickets for us as well. It was fabulous! She picked a great spot for coffee mid morning and an excellent restaurant for a well deserved lunch. We were able to take the van back to the port in the afternoon as the race was completed and the roads reopened.

I give this tour 5 STARS because of how good a job the company, and especially Ceren managed a diverse group on a busy all day walking tour during an international marathon.

Tayfun was a terrific guide for a day in Istanbul . He was very pleasant, spoke great English and amazingly knowledgeable. Because of his tour we are both so much more informed about the history and culture of this beautiful city. We highly recommend him for a memorable experience.

The tour itinerary was excellent and well planned. Our tour guide has knowledgeable but was clearly more interested in having us spend money at his friends restaurant and the handpicked shops than taking care of our group.
