It was a very well organized small group tour. As we had a very limited time in Istanbul, it was a great chance to explore the highlights of Istanbul in one day. Our guide Ozgur was amazing and introduced each site that we went in. He was very friendly, attentive, informative and enthusiastic.
Lunch was tasty. Timing was just perfect. We had our own free time at the end of the tour in Grand Bazaar. We highly recommend them and will definitely go back and book with them!

I was in Istanbul for short break and I knew I wanted to do a day trip with guide to see the soul of historic Istanbul. This was an excellent option. This tour inlcudes visits to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Roman Hippodrome and Grand Bazaar. And you don't need to worry about long wait in the queue. Wonderfully organised.
I had an amazing time, my guide Perihan was great and she made everything so fun and airy, it was good to be around her. The lunch was delicious too. I would definitely recomment this tour to anyone who would like to experience an amazing and very informative time. I hope you get Perihan as your tour guide, you'll have a an awesome time with her. She is so passionate about her job, can tell you lots of stories about places you visit. I can't wait to back to Istanbul ☺ ☺ ☺

Ozlem, our guide was super in every way. She was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Istanbul, extremely articulate in English, and had all the answers about the Ottoman Empire. We could have a real discussion! Also, she was careful in keeping tabs on us and very polite and congenial. You have a gem in her!!!
The tour company was accessible and organized. Highly recommend.

Ozlem was an excellent tour guide and surpassed all expectations. She physically navigated our small group quickly past several congested entrances in a courteous way and maintained a highly informative dialogue. She invited questions and her knowledge and energy level was high throughout the tour.

Our tour guide Ali was the perfect guide. He spoke fantastic English and was knowledgeable and interesting! During down time/walking he shared thoughts and insight on modern day Turkey. We had a great small group and with Ali's help were comfortable and all chatting in no time! Lunch was a traditional meal, delicious and with good company.
The best part is there is no planning on your part. No buying tickets, checking times and days, and you move right through the long lines. I would highly-- highly recommend this tour to see the main sights at ease!

Our trip was so well choreographed through the main sites of Istambul. Ali was very knowledgeable and made the small group feel very comfortable with each other. I would highly highly suggest Ali and his group for seeing the sites with ease.

We took a tour of Istanbul in June. We engaged with this company for a day to guide us in historical places of Istanbul at the old city and visited Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Roman Hippodrome and Grand Bazaar. Lunch was just delicious!! Our tour guide Ozlem was very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about Istanbul. She made the whole day memorable for us. I strongly recommend this tour company and Ozlem as your professional tour guide. The historical monuments become more interesting and memorable when you have a professional tour guide with 4-year university degree in tour guiding. This tour is a must if you want to explore all the major sights at the old city of Istanbul!

We had an excellent experience with our extremely knowledgeable tour guide Ozlem. Meeting point was clear and we didn’t have any problem to find her. She shared her passion and love of Istanbul's famous landmarks. We visited Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Roman Hippodrome (It was super helpful to skip the ticket lines at the museums.) and then had a terrific lunch in a nice restaurant close to the landmarks. Our tour ended in famous Grand Bazaar.
It was a small group of 7 including all admission fees and delicious lunch.
I would definitely recommend this tour!
