We had a very limited time to see some of the major sites in the Old Town and Ali led us on a great fast-paced tour. He also provided us great tips and helped us to make wise decisions on where to buy things we were interested in. The Turkish rug demonstration near the end of the tour was very informative was a great opportunity for people to purchase a genuine rug (rather than being ripped off) but it was definitely a little longer than anticipated.

No words I can share online will be good enough to explain my experience with this company. They made it easy to book and pay for services with clear communication. I just got hernia surgery and I couldn't walk. They also assigned a personal english speaking guide named Celal who took me around in a wheelchair through the tour. He was knowledgeable, and friendly. Every spot he took us to was incredible. He listened to what we wanted to do instead of just taking us on a pre determined tour. One of the most excellent tours I have ever had. Thank you....

I had a blast with Mehmet Şakir Karadibek as my guide! Super friendly and helpful. He made the tour a with good infomation about all the places and a great attitude. Shoutout to our driver too (I forgot his name). He's not just a good driver but an honest person. I left my stuff in the car, and he went out of his way to bring it back to me. Big thanks to Mehmet and the team for making my day! Definitely recommend them for a fun and easygoing tour.

Guide was walking very fast. We got separated from the group many times. I didn't feel like he was invested in his job.

A great way to see some me of the beautiful sites of Istanbul if you have only a limited amount of time. From the pickup at the hotel to the end it was very well organized. Our guide Ali was very knowledgeable and pointed out a lot of details I would have missed otherwise. He also gave sound advice how to navigate Istanbul. Already recommended the tour to my colleagues
