We had a great time on this tour. Our tour guide came to our hotel and guided us all the way. He was really knowledgeable and knew his city so well. Gave us all the details and history surrounding each attraction. He also walked back to our hotel with us and gave us recommendations for places to eat and other activities to do. We were really happy with this tour!

Ali our tour guide was great! Friendly and knowledgeable. The day of our tour was busy due to cruiseship tour groups so we went over time by 30min with lots of time waiting in lines but as we had a nice small group of 6 the time in the lines went quickly. The tour company was on time for the hotel pick up and the bottles of water provided were a nice touch. Lots of walking and standing, which was expected. Ali tailored some of the sight visits to suit how much time we spent in certain place, which was appreciated.

This was by far the highlight of our time in Istanbul. Our tour guide, Bouquet, was absolutely lovely. She was knowledgeable about each site and gave us insight into Turkey and Istanbul as a whole. She gave us ample time to explore on our own, but also showed us quality secret spots and the best places to get a taste of the culture.
