My experience was outstanding. I had a great tour guide, Billura. We visited the Topkapi Palace for 2 hours. Billura had a great wealth of information, including both fun facts and good stories. She also made recommendations that saved me money. After the tour of the Topkapi Palace, she recommended a wonderful place for lunch, the Basilica Cistran, and the Grand Bizarre, which are amazing places. Again she gave me a lot of information, recommendations, as well very good suggestions. I highly recommend the tour with Billura, she adapted the tour to my interests, had significant knowledge, and is an outstanding guide.

The tour name is misleading, the topkapi palace ticket was NOT included. Furthermore the information that was given was short and way too brief. We expected a lot more knowledge and information in both buildings. In the Topkapi Palace the tour was way too short. For the money that they ask, this tour is definitely not worth it. The only positive was the tour guide was a lovely person, however that's not what we paid for.

This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been to. It was only me and my partner so it was very private. Our tour guide, Elif was so friendly and knowledgeable, I asked her so many questions and she was like a walking history book and answered all of them. I learnt so much about Istanbul as we traveled across town to different location. In addition, she went above and beyond to ensure we got the best deal as we roamed through the Grand Bazaar. This left a deep impression within me, and desire to learn more about the rich history and culture Istanbul has offer. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to understand these landmarks from the perspective of a local.
