We thoroughly enjoyed our Tram tour with Mr. Erkan. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. When there was a long line , he stood in it while we sat waiting until he was near us. Thank you !! It is a very enduring tour and you should be able to walk. I learned so much about Istanbul. The tram is the way to go as you eliminate traffic. We are familiar with crowded metros so it did not phase us.

Leyla was a delightful guide who was extremely knowledgeable. We were able to see everything we wanted to see in one day. She picked us up from our hotel and we were close enough to walk to everything, no tram needed. Our hotel was right next to Topkapi Palace. We saw the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia and even found time to visit the Cisterns. Istanbul was amazing to visit and Leyla was the perfect companion for our very informational day.

Very pleased with this tour. All was included as stated. Tour guide was very helpful and nice. I would have preferred more time in the Grand Bazaar. Took this tour from a cruise as I didn't want to be on a ship's tour with a large group. Women must wear a head scarf and remember to wear socks as shoes aren't allowed in the mosque. I walked barefoot..not happy about that. We had plenty of time to take photos and observe whatever we wanted. The transportation is described as a tram..but is actually a public train.

Leyla was an excellent guide. Although there could have been 10 people maximum we were the only couple. Enjoyed our personal tour and the one-on-one interaction.
