Istanbul Highlights : Excursion d'une demi-journée le matin

We joined the Istanbul Highlights Half-Day Morning, and it was such a great experience. The places we visited were absolutely beautiful, especially Hagia sophia and the Blue Mosque. Our guide, Mehmet, was fantasti. He was super friendly, funny, and knew so much about the history of Istanbul. He answered all our questions with patience and made the whole tour really enjoyable. It felt like exploring the city with a very knowledgeable friend :)

We enjoyed the entire trip and all of Duygu’s historical knowledge she shared with us. Our favorite definitely was the tour of the Basilica Cistern. It was a beautiful and really cool place to see. I was surprised at how much the modern art pieces enhanced the experience. My grandchildren both loved the tour. We all enjoyed our tour guide as well. She was not only very knowledgeable but also very sweet and personable.

My wife and I loved this tour, it is a great way to see the main historical sights in Turkey. Diana was the best tour guide we could ask for, she was friendly and highly knowledgeable, teaching us the intricacies and history of all the monuments along our path, and was also kind enough to take us to some of the best shops in the Grand Bazaar too. She really helped make our experience in Istanbul amazing, so big thanks to Diana for being a wonderful tour guide!

Loved the tour. The guide Cengiz was very friendly and helpful. We covered all the main places in one day. Would definitely recommend.

It was an excellent tour, Guide is very knowledgeable person and enjoyed even my 11 yrs old daughter. We recommend this one day walking tour which covers most of the main attractions - Nair family

Our guide was prompt in pick up time and the tour schedule. Experience overall was good nothing to take away from the guide but we personally found both places to be bit overhyped. Or probably we were coming from Egypt this it’s relative.

I had just a day for sightseeing in Istanbul - and was looking for a half-day tour of the key attractions. This was perfect. The guide - Furkan - was very knowledgeable and took the time to talk about all key aspects of the Ayasofya and the "Blue Mosque". He also answered all the questions with a good sense of Turkey's religious and political history. The tour ended at the Grand Bazaar which was a perfect place to wind up after the tour.

I was only in Istanbul for a short time so I wanted to gather as much information about this wonderful city as I could in a short period. The walking tour was ideal. It gave me background and current information on two of the city's most famous landmarks. I highly recommend it.

Our guide was good, and gave us a lot of history and information. Appreciate it much. Wish there was more time given to stay inside Hagia Sofia.

Our guide (Genghis) was excellent, his information was delivered with great English. He was very informative, but I really took offence when we were taken to a glorified rug shop which is conveniently located over a Cistern / museum. After viewing this museum we were taken upstairs and explained how handmade rugs ( a Turkish speciality) were hand woven. (excellent - stop there) No, we were then invited (ushered) upstairs to view their range of rugs with a complimentary beverage in hand (OK I can handle that, just) Nothing is for free so I expected were then going to be offered the opportunity to buy. I went to the bathroom and came back to find that the number of staff had more than doubled to 9 people on the floor sidling up next to the other members of the group (there were only 14 of us) putting the hard sell. I left when I was told I wasn't a prisoner and I am free to go whenever. THIS WAS NOT ON THE TOUR DESCRIPTION. That is why we chose this tour. I was disgusted. So just be aware.
