My husband and I booked the private one day walking tour of Istanbul and had Ayshe as our tour guide. We travel a lot and have gone on many tours and would like to say that Ayshe was the best tour guide we have ever had. She took us to the top sites in Istanbul and we had a great time. She is extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful and was able to get us through the long lines easily. I would definitely ask for her if you are in Istanbul.

I had a wonderful experience with Daily Istanbul Tours during my recent trip to Istanbul. I booked a private walking tour directly (Soner was excellent to tailoring the tour to my interests via email), and my guide Metin (@mister.istanbul) was fantastic. Metin was knowledgeable about the history and culture of Istanbul and provided us with fascinating insights into the city's past and present.

The walking tour was a great way to explore the city and its many amazing sites, including the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar. Metin was an excellent guide and provided us with plenty of interesting information and stories about each site we visited.

Thank you to the team at Daily Istanbul Tours for making my trip to Istanbul such a memorable experience!

We had the good fortune of connecting with Soner Tufan, Daily Istanbul Tours! There is no better way to see Istanbul than to skip-the-line! My wife, Cheryl, and I had only one day to see Istanbul and wanted to maximize the experience. There is so much to see, and we had only a little time. Soner arranged one of the greatest tours by a private guide that we’ve ever had. Our guide Oz (Ozgur Karadeniz) was well educated in the history, religious customs, traditions, and fine cuisine of Istanbul. Our well spent time with him was a brilliant learning experience! After seeing the most important sites (Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace Museum, etc.) we invited Oz to lunch. Oz suggested the Galeyan Restaurant. It was an authentic, non-touristy charming bistro with some of the most incredible Turkish flavors. We enjoyed a variety of taste treats. It was, indeed, a veritable feast! Having not had this kind of food experience before, we are now hoping to return to Istanbul to visit the fabulous historic city and to, once again, enjoy a meal at Galeyan. When visiting Istanbul or Turkey, without question, we recommend booking your tours with Soner Tufan at Daily Istanbul Tours! When we do return to Istanbul, we will once again call on Daily Istanbul Tours to be sure we have the perfect Guide!

Fantastic experience with Our guide Semen, who was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and very accomodating. Very responsive to our interests and happy to change the tour to match them. A very enjoyable and informative tour of the Topkapi Palace followed by a delicious and memorable lunch. Semen recommended local specialities that raised the experience to new level. The whole day was enjoyable and felt like a day out with friend. Highly recommended

We picked a bad time of year to go -- late March. It snowed and it was very cold, which took away some of the fun of seeing things. It did, however, result in smaller crowds. Our custom tour lasted two days. The guide was great and worked hard to help us have a good experience. The mosques were fun to see and about what I expected. The Spice Bazar and the Grand Bazar turned out to be better than I expected. Overall, a great trip with great friends in our group of six.

My daughter and I really enjoyed our Private Tour with Ozlem Aydin. She did an excellent job of giving us the history and stories behind all of the sites we visited. Ozlem even sent us a note to make sure we were ok after the earthquake that occurred just after we left her! We had booked another tour to Cappadocia and Ephesus with Daily Istanbul Tours, and were extremely satisfied. All of the tours and travel arrangements went like clockwork. Thank you again!

We have visited Spice Bazaar, Beylerbeyi Palace, Çamlıca Tepesi and had the Bósforo Cruise with guide Ozlem Aydin, who has deep knowledge in Turkey history, told us a lot of interesting stories and was really caring with my elderly parents. Highly recommended!
