Excellent knowledgable guide who could answer all questions. Small group and enjoyed the headsets so one could hear the guide's commentary unlike in Cappadocia where it was difficult to hear. Gave a good overview of the whole tour.

Our tour guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything very well. He also provided recommendations on the other parts of the place worth seeing after the tour ended. We spent an extra 2 hours viewing the place. The morning was a great time to go was we went right in to most parts. It did get more crowded as the day went on.

Topkapi palace and the harem are absolutely a “do not miss” experience within Istanbul. Our guide made the entire palace, come alive, and seeing the extent of the contents of the palace was absolutely mind blowing.

I woke with a terrible migraine and tried to reschedule the tour. No one responded until I got a text from the guide saying the tour started.

I tried again to reschedule with fee, which every other tour go isn’t does. And they ignored my message.

I don’t recommend, other tour companies will rebook
With a 20% fee which is understandable not just ignore.

Very thorough and detailed tour! We really enjoyed our 3 hour tour of the palace and the harem rooms. Ahmed ( I hope I got his name right) knows and shares a lot about Turkish history. He had a nice personality and I appreciated his enthusiasm for his role as our guide! I like the way he mapped out the area for us and let us know ahead of time what we were going to see. After the tour we had time to see the jewels exhibit too! I’m so glad we took this tour!

The tour guide gave us a fantastic insight to how life was, and the whole history of the Palace, and was very helpful in guiding us through the Palace grounds..
I would highly recommend Guizme (I hope I spelt your name correctly ) for any tours and would definitely request her going forward.

Great experience. Our guide was Yagmur Baskaya and she was excellent. She gave us insights and history of Topkapi. We highly recommend this tour.
