Enjoy the private layover tour with a pick up service from airport with your licensed English speaking guide who knows the city very well. See and experience a lot of Istanbul during your layover instead wasting for time at the airport. Enjoy ferry ride and the breeze of the Bosporus and experience how easy to go from Europe to Asia. Taste the baklava and kebabs in their homeland. Visit the famous Blue mosque, Hagia Sofia and Basilica Cistern. Relax at a Turkish bath with a scrub and a foam massage. Get lost in the street of the Grand bazaar with four thousand shops and learn how to bargain with the local shopkeepers.

My friend and I had a 17hr layover in Istanbul and made the absolute most of it! Airport transfer was fast, professional, and very well organized. And our tour was fantastic! Our guide Turkan did an excellent job showing us the highlights of Istanbul and we could't be happier. 10/10 recommend!

The perfect way to see Istanbul! Our guide Omer was so knowledgeable and shared so much history and interesting facts about landmarks we saw along the way. We highly recommend this tour for those wanting to see Istanbul with a limited time in destination!

Turkan is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and always looking out for her visitors. She made me and my wife have a GREAT and FUN day. Recommend tours with her 1000%.
She brought us to a very good local restaurant and also was helping us out get good deals at the Bazaars! She is great!

This was simply the best time I spent doing a walking excursion of this kind. As a world traveller I can’t wait to go back and with the same excursion provided. Absolutely first class.

We really enjoyed the tour with our Guide Iskendar. He was really easy to converse with and open to moving schedule around so we could see Hagia and cisterns in beginning rather than end. There is a lot to see in Istanbul and this is our second tour with Viator. I do recommend at least 2 days to see more than just the main big mosques. Last time we saw sulemani mosque too, but Blue was closed. Sulemani is beautiful. If you want Topkapi, definitely more than 1 day. We haven’t been to full topkapi tour both times because of time.
Iskendar was on time and very helpful. We walked a lot as expected, so be ready to have good shoes. He gave us enough time to walk around take pictures, answered questions. He speaks multiple languages too. We had a great time.

We only had a 24 layover in Istanbul and wanted to make the most of our time here. This tour was the perfect match! The pick up at the airport was smooth. We were dropped off at our hotel where we met our guide after we checked in.
We can’t say enough GREAT things about our guide Burak. He was absolutely fantastic! His English was great but his knowledge of the history here in Istanbul really made the tour come alive. We started at the Basilica Cistern, toured the Blue Mosque, the Byzantine Hippodrome and then the Hagia Sophia. After, we took a tram/ferry to the Asian side of Istanbul for food and drink and general exploration. Our tour started around 4:45 pm and ended close to 11 pm. It was a memorable experience and well worth the price. Burak made our experience more than we could have hoped for - THANK YOU!
One other great part of the tour is that we were picked up in the morning at our hotel and brought back to the airport.
Overall, an awesome experience!!

I had a 10-hour layover in Istanbul and was excited to get a glimpse of this beautiful city. My guide Elif was wonderful. She is knowledgeable and kind and has a delightful personality. For just a few hours, she showed me the Blue Mosque (although it was closed), Hagia Sophia, Arasta Bazaar, and Gülhane Park, and pointed out to me several other historic sites. We even managed to try some local cuisine, Turkish coffee, Baklava, and Turkish Delight! Although my visit was short, because of Elif's knowledge of the city and her enthusiasm, I feel like I've seen a good bit of Istanbul!

We had a short amount of time in Istanbul, but felt we made the most of our time thanks to this tour! Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. He answered our questions and gave us a good history of the different areas we visited. We even got a send off getting to try the best kebab I’ve ever tasted! Thank you for an amazing experience, we hope to return to see more of the city.

We spent few hours in Istanbul and the tour was amazing. We couldn’t do better choice!
Elif was our tour guide. She is professional, super nice and friendly. We agreed what to see and what to do in few hours and she met our needs.
Thank you Elif, it was a pleasure meeting you!
