The best choice for any first timer, Top sites of Old Istanbul, is a half-day, small group tour. Discover what has made Istanbul such a majestic and historically significant city by hitting all of the hot spots and then some!
We will skip the ticket line at Cistern and Hagia Sophia

Fantastic guide, so sorry I can't remember his name but it was Dec 28th 2023 and his surname meant ' pine tree' (not grass!), if his boss is reading this!
Our guide had a great way about him. We were a mixed group, 8 of us and 4 nationalities but by the end it felt like we were with a group of friends. He was passionate and professional, gave us time to browse by ourselves at just the right times. Well arranged and perfectly paced tour, so much more than we'd have seen without a guide. He had so much knowledge of the sites and area, plus very informative about Turkey and her people. Well worth every penny.

Our guide Cumali was very knowledgeable and created a fun and engaging experience for two adults and three teenagers. He spent a good amount of time at each site and provided a lot of historical and cultural context. Be ready for Cumali to test your knowledge of European history and ancient civilizations. He’ll keep you laughing and on your toes :). Highly recommend this tour and Cumali as a guide.

I had a wonderful tour with Imran. I had one day to hit all the major highlights in the city and this tour was a great introduction to the city and its history. I was the only person on the tour, which basically made this a private tour! Imran was a great guide who put a friendly face to Istanbul and I’d do another tour with him, if there’s an opportunity.

We had a very knowledgeable guide who gave an excellent and comprehensive overview of the history behind Istanbul’s magnificent architecture. Considering the short time we had, we were able to cover a lot. It made us want to visit again!
