Ezgi was charming and took care of us on a hot day. We got to see things that we wouldn’t have necessarily planned to do like the basilica cistern, which was a wonderful surprise.

Our guide Kim was friendly and informative. We enjoyed the overview of Istanbul. Unfortunately the line to get into the Blue Mosque was so long that we opted out….next time. I highly recommend this highlights tour.

Very informative and interesting history. Our small group tour turned out to be a private tour and our guide was a Turkish historian and really knew his stuff. The Blue Mosque was easy to get in and around and the history of the hippodrome was interesting. Basilca Cistern was really cool!!

This turned out to be a private tour for just my husband and me. Our guide seemed very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our time with him.

A very informative introduction to some of the most beautiful iconic sites. Erol’s commentary was full of detail about the history and he also gave us a sense of life as a modern day Turk. Highly recommended!

We are always looking for ways to improve our tours, and your comments about the audio and staying with the guide are very helpful.

This is a scam. They only run tours as per their convenience and not as per the scheduled times shown while making the booking. Although the money got refunded, they were extremely rude, and the entire experience left a very bad flavour. I lost the opportunity to see the sights since I had a very short time in Istanbul, and was unnecessarily made to come to the meeting point. I had booked a tour for 8:30 in the morning. Less than 12 hours before the tour, when the tour was no longer cancellable from my end, I got a message on my phone directly from the tour operator that my tour has been postponed to 1:00 pm. As this new time did not suit me, I asked them to allocate another guide. They said they are searching for one but never replied back. When I told them I have found something else, and to cancel my tour, the operator came back saying that the tour is operational, and if i do not show up the tour will be a no show and hence no refund. I kept requesting for the details of the guide, which they didn't share, stating privacy, all the while messaging me directly and not through Viator. The next day I was at the meeting point 5 mins before the tour was to start, which was the suggested time. However there was no one at the meeting point. When I reached out to the tour operator, I was told to prove that I am at the pick-up point, and then told that the tour had already started (before the start time). They said I was free to join the tour at 1:00 since I'd missed this one. Eventually I raised a request through viator and was refunded my booking amount, however despite not running the tour, the tour operator did not initial the cancellation from their end. Although the money got refunded, they were extremely rude, and the entire experience left a very bad flavour. I lost the opportunity to see the sights and was unnecessarily made to come to the meeting point.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am deeply sorry for the unacceptable experience you had. This is not the standard of service we strive for, and I want to sincerely apologize for the frustration, inconvenience, and disappointment this caused. Your feedback highlights several serious issues that we need to address immediately with our tour operators. The behavior you described—canceling a tour on short notice, rudeness from staff, and failing to provide clear communication—is completely unacceptable. Making you come to the meeting point for a tour that had already "started" is also a breach of our trust and commitment to our customers. I want to assure you that we are taking this matter very seriously. We will be investigating this specific incident thoroughly and working with our partners to ensure this never happens again. We understand that a refund, while important, does not make up for a ruined experience or lost time during your short visit to Istanbul. We hope you can find it in your heart to give us another chance in the future. In the meantime, thank you for your honesty and for helping us to improve.
It was a great experience in Instambul with our great guide Huseyin. He gave us a great and colorful historical review in perfect English. It was very interesting also to find out architectural and archeological details. We also had an Excursion to the Turkish rug factory, where we could see handmade silk and wool rug production from a silk cocoon to a weaving by hands beautiful patterns genuine only for Turkish rugs. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are so glad you had such a great experience in **Istanbul** with our guide, **Huseyin**. It's fantastic to hear that he provided a "colorful historical review" in perfect English and that you found the architectural and archaeological details so interesting. We're also happy that you enjoyed the excursion to the Turkish rug factory and got to see the fascinating process of handmade silk and wool rug production. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Huseyin.
The tour guide never showed up! We were at meeting site will before meeting time and waited 25 minutes for tour guide who never appeared. When tour provider was contacted we were told that the tour happened and that this was not their problem. Do not reserve this tour!!!
I am so sorry to hear about your experience. This is completely unacceptable, and I want to extend my sincerest apologies for the tour guide not showing up and for the lack of support you received when you contacted the tour provider. What you described is not how we operate, and we take this feedback very seriously. The provider's response that "the tour happened" and that it was "not their problem" is unprofessional and completely wrong. We are investigating this incident immediately with the tour operator and will be taking action to ensure this never happens again. A full refund for your booking has been processed, and you should see it reflected on your credit card statement within 5-10 business days. While we know a refund doesn't make up for the disappointment and wasted time, we hope you'll allow us to regain your trust in the future.
