We had an 8 hour layover in Istanbul and this was the perfect way to spend the time. The pick-up at the airport was right on time, and in a very comfortable, clean, customized van with reclining captain chairs and a table. Pretty much just slept during the 1 hour drive into the city. Tour guide called as we got into the van to make sure everything was ok. When we met in the city he asked us what we were most interested in and then got us under way. Was very flexible and found us a place to grab a quick snack as we hadn’t had breakfast yet. Showed us around the Hippodrome, then took us past the Blue Mosque (couldn’t go in due to renovation works), then actually into the Sophia, and down into the Basilica Cistern. As we were getting a bit hungry he took us to the “Pudding Shop” for a great local lunch. Finished the Tour off wandering through the Grand Bazaar. All along the way our guide provided interesting information about what we were seeing and answered any questions we had. Trip back to the airport was in the same vehicle and got us back in plenty of time to catch our flight. No hesitation to recommend this tour! Great job.

Had a really good time with our guide Ozlem during our layover in Istanbul. Ozlem was very knowledgeable and flexible about what we wanted to do during our limited time. We definitely recommend to others.

Very grateful to Daily Istanbul tours for the enjoyable time i spent in Istanbul city sightseeing, instead of waiting in the airport for the flight. The service provided was perfect from the beginning of the tour to the end. They picked me up fast, drove in a very comfortable car to the old town where i met the guide and was taken back to the airport on time. I had a great time with my guide, Ozlem, she made my day perfect.

Hey Everyone! Our tour guide, Ozlem, was just perfect. It was complete ease to find our ride from the airport to meeting our guide in the city. We are all the way from Miami and had about a 9 hour layover. We had our tour arranged from about 5 pm to 9 pm. It takes only 30 minutes to get by to IST at night, so if you have time, please use it!

We used this company for transfers to/from the airport and for a walking tour of the city. We were traveling with two kids aged 8 and 11 and two adults. Our guide, Oz, was very knowledgeable and made great use of our time. We hit all of the major sites, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Spice Market, Grand Bazaar and a few other spots. Lunch was very good as well. We were very pleased with this company and will use them again in the future if ever in Istanbul.
