Our guide was very nice, very knowledgeable and tried to make our experience as good as possible. Can recommend the tour for a quick dip into the past of the city.

My husband and I had a long layover in Istanbul and wanted to get the most out of the city in a short amount of time. This was an excellent way to see the highlights! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, flexible and willing to adjust as best he could. He met in an easy to find location and did not have to wait in line as our tickets were planned out ahead of time. He also had some traditional Turkish coffee along the way. I would say trust your tour guide and as a lot of questions because they are very knowledgeable and want you to have the best time. I would highly recommend this tour as one of the first things to do in this city that has such a rich history!

We have never done a walking tour before, but now I can't imagine not doing one in every city! Our guide Yasin was very knowledgeable, and he made visiting the sites of Istanbul that much more engaging.

I did this tour on my first day in Istanbul and it was a great way to start the trip! Our guide was great. Nice, funny, and very informative. Our group was only 4 people, which was the perfect size, so we could move around quickly and ask questions freely. We saw the main highlights of the old city, and putting the sights into context made it much more memorable. I would for sure recommend this tour!
