It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating historical insights throughout the entire tour. He even came to meet us at our hotel, which made everything very convenient. We enjoyed a nice walking tour and visited some of Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks, including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Hippodrome, the Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, and the Grand Bazaar. The explanations were engaging, and the pace of the tour was perfect. Keep in mind that entrance tickets are not included in the tour price. At the time of our visit, the approximate costs were: Topkapi Palace: 2,750 TL (about $60 USD) Basilica Cistern: 2,250 TL (about $49 USD) Hagia Sophia skip-the-line ticket: €30 Lunch will cost approximately 500–1,000 TL per person, depending on where you eat. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide made the history come alive and ensured we had a fantastic experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul. We would definitely do it again! We absolutely loved it!
the guide was really knowledgeable and informative and knew a lot of history. however I felt a bit manipulated to buy stuff eg instead of making sure I took a head scarf with me either by text or when he met me, he took me to a very expensive place. also lunch was a very expensive restaurant, where he ordered more food than I did, as well as soft drinks for himself, without mentioning that I was expected to pay for his lunch. it also wasn't clear what was included, like tickets, and so all in all the cost me about 3x more than the cost of the actual tour.
Seyma is a very knowledgeable tour guide, we learned so much from her. She has great insights to everything in Istanbul, which allowed for lesser visited but equally amazing spots like a cistern that wasn’t crowded. I’m so glad we booked this tour!

We had a fabulous day with Paulina. She met us at the port and then we had a private car drive us to the Old Town. We visited Hagia Sophia, the Cistern, a carpet store in a caravanserai, Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome. She took us to a great restaurant where we sampled yummy Turkish food. Paulina was an informative guide who was so easy to be with all day. We all feel like we made a new friend in Istanbul.

Our day with Sedat…….simply put, it was an incredible experience! We started at 8:30 am just outside where our cruise ship was at port, Galataport. Ended 9 hours later! Sedat is a human encyclopedia of Turkish history. We seen all the sites and with Sedat’s knowledge of each site, we were able to see everything within a timely manner and avoid the long lines for the most part. He found us a fantastic restaurant rooftop for lunch, with local Turkish food. So good! Due to the local holiday, The Grand Bazaar and the Spice Market was closed. We did walk thru a portion of it just to check it out. Be prepared for LOTS of people! The tram was quite the experience with so many humans getting on and off the tram. Unforgettable! A great day. One that we will remember for the rest of our days.
