Bose, our tour guide was a very friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide. She provided a very comfortable and interesting tour of the mosques and the grand bazaar. I highly recommend Bose, it was a great experience!

Knowledgeable and friendly guide, knew some shortcuts to minimize time in line where skip the line wasn’t available. Recommended. Only suggestion would be to do the main attractions with lines first and the hippodrome area later as the time spent getting background there made the waits a bit longer at the mosques.

Great tour with Zana. Super knowledgeable and her English was excellent. Istanbul strikes a ressemblence to my hometown of Lisbon and Zana was extremely interested is that exchange and comparisons. It felt like being shown around by a friend more than just a tour guide.
