Wonderful day exploring Istanbul
Pelin is an excellent tour guide who gave us great info and tailored the day to what we preferred. She got us easily and quickly in and out of the sights without the lines and made sure we were safe and enjoyed. Really worth booking this rather than doing on your own or with a large group.
Great trip with an awesome guide
Our tour guide is Kadir Kurt, for 3 days visiting the key attractions in Instanbul. Throughout the trip, he is very hospitable, making us feel welcome in a foreign country. He also has a very good knowledge on the places that he brought us and went above and beyond with value added knowledge on sharing the Turkish local culture, about himself and things that we should look out for or avoid during shopping in bazaars. Overall, he is a very reliable guide that we could trust to go with his recommendations.
Old Istanbul
We had a very informative tour of the Old City Istanbul sites. Tolga, our guide was great! Met us at our hotel and guided us each step of our tour, & yet gave us room to explore on our own. Thank you!
A Great Cultural and Sightseeing Tour with a Friendly & Knowledgeable Tour Guide
It was a pleasure to have Ms. Nurhayat as my group’s tour guide for the past 3 days in Istanbul. We learned a lot about Turkish culture and history from her. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and very flexible in arranging the tour itinerary every day to make the travelling and sightseeing time more effective. We very much enjoyed the tour, which covered most of the best of Istanbul. Thanks so much to Ms. Nurhayat's kindness in giving us an amazing experience of buying the group Turkish Coffee before ending the tour and sharing with us the Turkish way of taking coffee. The only thing my group addressed was that on the 1st day of touring, the time was a little rushed; hardly enough time to take photos due to the tight itinerary.
Kadir Kurt is a great guide! Fully recommend.
Kadir Kurt was a great guide! He accompanied us the whole way for 3 days and never short-changed us for the experience. He's very accomodating to our needs. Would recommend him to anyone visiting Turkey!
Like a Kebab!
Thank You Kadir Kurt for bringing us around in Istanbul and it was really a great experience enjoying local good food and even learning simple Turkish from him! Teşekkür ederim!!

Guide par excellence
Our guide Meran was so full of knowledge and curated our tour beautifully. We wouldn't of had such a wonderful experience without her.
Aisha is the best guide for Istanbul!
We had the best guide ever! Her name is Aisha. She was so knowledgeable about Turkey’s history. Able to answer every question my husband asked. She knew exactly what order to see things in so we were able to see much more than we would have. A tip for anyone wanting to see Istanbul. Do it with a private guide. It makes such a difference!
Fantastic experience
We had an amazing and informative 3 days. Burak, our guide, could not have been more helpful, instructive, flexible and helpful. You would need a cousin, a professor, and an aunt rolled into one to find a better guide.
This is a GREAT tour of historic Istanbul!
I took a 2-day private guided tour of Istanbul during a layover from Ethiopia. This tour was excellent. My guide, Alize, was THE BEST. She was personable, professional, and super knowledgeable about the history of Türkiye, and in particular, Istanbul. During my tours, she educated me on the origination of the country, the 36 sultans, the Ottoman Empire - just all things Turkish. The 1st day we visited the Dolmabahce Palace, rode the ferry on the Bosphorus Strait (which is located between 2 continents), and walked the Cicek Passage. We moved around using the metro and tram which was SO easy and really a great way to experience authentic Istanbul citizens. The next day was for Classic Old Town Istanbul. Featuring the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque (formal name: the Sultan Ahmed Mosque), the Hippodrome, and the world shopping mall: The Grand Bazaar! Istanbul is very beautiful; has a lot of interesting history; and this tour and my tour guide showed it off stupendously! Great tour!
Rundum gelungene Stadtführung
Wir hatten eine private Führung, die absolut empfehlenswert war. Unser Guide hatte ein großes Fachwissen und wir waren sehr zufrieden und würden ihn jederzeit wieder buchen. Er hat uns gute Tipps gegeben für unsere weitere Reise und wir hatten einen gelungenen, lehrreichen Tag. Sein Deutsch war sehr gut, so dass es keine Kommunikationsschwierigkeiten gab.

Excellent
Excellent tour. We did the 2 days which included the old town and the more famous sights including the Grabd Bazaar and Spice Market, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and the ferry. Our guide was amazing
Private tour of Istanbul
Our guide Kemal was brilliant. He is super knowledgeable and really tailored his explanation and the pace of the tour to our interests and energy level (my husband and I bit tired having arrived in Istanbul very late the previous night). Kemal was super patient when I spent ages shopping at the Grand Bazaar and my husband had to jump on a work call in the middle of the Topkapi palace. Throughout the tour we learnt about the history of Istanbul, the sights we were visiting but also about Turkey more broadly which was super interesting and definitely makes us want to explore more of this beautiful country. Thank you very much Kemal for a great day in Istanbul and for your great restaurant recommendations!

A great day out !
