We did quite a bit of walking so wear comfortable shoes. I learned a lot and visited many sites on our day tour. Our guide, Alev was a gem. I enjoyed her very much and would highly recommend this tour.

This was the best day! I made 3 new friends on the tour, and there were only 4 of us on it. That’s a 100% success rate 👍😃 Tim was our guide, and he got me the best bargain on the most beautiful jacket. Cheers Tim, I owe you one. The Blue Mosque I will remember forever ❤️

I was very lucky to have undivided attention in this tour. Zel was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about Istanbul. I learnt so much about the city’s history. We visited places ahead of the larger tour groups which was fantastic. True there is a lot of walking, but it is mainly inside the attraction sites and there are stops for self exploration and photos. I definitely recommend this tour.

I was going to Africa and had a layover in Istanbul for a day. I booked my tour, there it said it was a three hours tour that was perfect for the day. Mr. Burhan was my guide tour, he seems very knowledgeable about the history of Istanbul and also took me to the Grand Bazaar which he help me to buy some souvenirs from my trip. I was fortunate enough that I was by myself doing this tour. I love it and recommend. Thank you!
