We enjoyed our day, despite the rain. We saw the palace, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar. Our tour guide was informative and quite knowledgeable, able to answer all our questions. The bell was delicious, and was at a Michelin rated restaurant.We were disappointed with Hagia Sophia, as non Turks weren’t allowed in the bottom part of the mosque, and we were told our entry didn’t include the museum. The tour was quite expensive, I believe the tickets to Hagia Sofia were 25 euros each, definitely not wirth the price of the ticket. At Jessy we waited until later in the afternoon to go in, because the line earlier in the day was extremely long.

We’ve done many of these small group tours in the past and this was one of the best. Baruk was an amazing guide. EXTREMELY knowledgeable and funny. There’s a lot going on in Instanbul these days and he was able to explain (without bias) all of the intricacies of the politics and religious factors.
It’s a lot to fit into one day (there were lines at the mosques) but Baruk maneuvered us around with ease.
After the tour there was a large rally going on in Instanbul- Baruk went the extra mile (literally) and walked us all the way back to our hotel to ensure we felt safe.

Aya Sofya, Topkapi, Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosk and all around them combined with all social, historical, cultural, political and scientific info you would hope for. Under the efficient guidance (in perfect english) of some who loves his country without being pretentious. Exactly what we were hoping for.

This tour was phenomenal. The tour guide, Gamze, went out of her way to show me the best that Istanbul had to offer. She openly shared about her city, herself, and her culture. At the end of the day, I felt like I had just spent the day with a wonderful friend in a spectacular city. I know everyone who signs up for this tour will have the same experience. I highly recommend this tour. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Istanbul.

I booked the small group tour in Spanish for me and my wife. Since there weren’t more people on our group, it became a private tour(awesome! 👍🏼). Our tour guide was Ahmet. He was very fluent in Spanish, and also very knowledgeable about history of the city and all the visited sites. Very kind and patient(he even helped us with the tramvay ticket vending machine). The whole day it felt like we were with a friend we never knew we had in Istanbul. I strongly recommend this tour (hopefully Ahmet is available on that day). Everything was excellent.

We had the best day! Fatma was the greatest tour guide I've ever had. She knew everything and was so helpful. From visiting all the mosques to shopping to lunch the day could not have gone better. Thank you, Fatma for this wonderful experience in Istanbul ❤️

Songul was our guide and she was excellent. Very well versed in the history of the sites and alllowed us to move at our own pace. She engaged the 2 teenagers in the group asking them questions to keep them interested in the history of the sites they were seeing. She also checked on us the next day with suggestions on the other sites in Istanbul we should see. She truly went above and beyond.
