Very upset and disappointed. The tour guide didn’t arrive, and when I contacted him 20 minutes AFTER the tour should have started (we arrived 15mins early- so had been already waiting more than 30mins), he said it was because we were the only people to book that tour for the day. There was no prior notice or contact to tell us it was not happening. Absolutely appalling and upsetting. He said our options were that we could wait at that spot for another few HOURS and he will send a tour guide to us, or do a completely different tour in a completely different district, or reschedule - all very inconsiderate options for travelers who don’t have the luxury of time. We were very upset and disappointed. Plus we are still waiting for our refund. Do not recommend booking this.

The friendly guide took our family on a personal and informative tour of the crucial monuments of Istanbul. My 10-year old also enjoyed the tour and learned a lot.
