The tour was even better than I thought. Elif is such a knowledgeable and easy-going person! As you would expect from a good guide, she was on the spot at the agreed time, answered all of our questions and showed us hidden churches and bustling streets, walked us inside luxury hotels and offered several routes to choose from. But she also recommended good taxi apps, shortcuts for transportations, best stores in Grand Bazaar and ferryboat routes. Would definitely recommend her to anyone, willing to know Istanbul better.

This was a great tour with a great guide. Elif was lovely and spoke perfect English. The tour covered many beautiful sights and secret places that you would never find if you were walking around on your own. Elif was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much about Turkish history and culture. Highly recommend this tour. The directions from the tour company were a bit confusing about where to meet. We were staying in the Sultanahmet area so we got the T1 tram over the bridge and got off there. As you get off the tram head left to the tunnel entrance for the underground funicular tram. The tunnel entrance is not very well signposted. It’s on the ground floor of a big building. Then get the funicular - there is only one stop - and the meeting place is outside the funicular exit on Istiklal street.
