Tour guide Hamide was kind and knowledgeable in history and local food scene. Well organized tour without waiting in line to get into the monuments - Basilica Cistern, Haiga Sophia, Blue Mosque in the morning and lunch, street food in spice market, grand bazar. Local knowledge was invaluable as we were traversing small alley ways and shops. She gave me great history's and background informations as we travelled through all day in Istanbul. Highly recommended!

Don’t miss this tour, this is the best way to get familiar with the city while eating the best food Istanbul offers.
We were very fortunate to spend the day with Ali exploring Istanbul and all the wonderful foods it has to offer. It was our favourite day in Istanbul and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting. You could actually do it twice and they will chance up the tour to suit. This is also a great way to get familiar with the city and the public transport system. Absolutely a 10/10 experience that I can’t fault.

Enjoyable İstanbul tour
It was a very well organized small group tour. As we had a very limited time in Istanbul, it was a great chance to explore the highlights of Istanbul in one day. Our guide Ozgur was amazing and introduced each site that we went in. He was very friendly, attentive, informative and enthusiastic.
Lunch was tasty. Timing was just perfect. We had our own free time at the end of the tour in Grand Bazaar. We highly recommend them and will definitely go back and book with them!

Fantastic tour, amazing memories ☺
I was in Istanbul for short break and I knew I wanted to do a day trip with guide to see the soul of historic Istanbul. This was an excellent option. This tour inlcudes visits to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Roman Hippodrome and Grand Bazaar. And you don't need to worry about long wait in the queue. Wonderfully organised.
I had an amazing time, my guide Perihan was great and she made everything so fun and airy, it was good to be around her. The lunch was delicious too. I would definitely recomment this tour to anyone who would like to experience an amazing and very informative time. I hope you get Perihan as your tour guide, you'll have a an awesome time with her. She is so passionate about her job, can tell you lots of stories about places you visit. I can't wait to back to Istanbul ☺ ☺ ☺

Ozlem, our guide was super in every way. She was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Istanbul, extremely articulate in English, and had all the answers about the Ottoman Empire. We could have a real discussion! Also, she was careful in keeping tabs on us and very polite and congenial. You have a gem in her!!!
The tour company was accessible and organized. Highly recommend.

Excellent tour with superb tour guide
Ozlem was an excellent tour guide and surpassed all expectations. She physically navigated our small group quickly past several congested entrances in a courteous way and maintained a highly informative dialogue. She invited questions and her knowledge and energy level was high throughout the tour.

The perfect way to see the sights
Our tour guide Ali was the perfect guide. He spoke fantastic English and was knowledgeable and interesting! During down time/walking he shared thoughts and insight on modern day Turkey. We had a great small group and with Ali's help were comfortable and all chatting in no time! Lunch was a traditional meal, delicious and with good company.
The best part is there is no planning on your part. No buying tickets, checking times and days, and you move right through the long lines. I would highly-- highly recommend this tour to see the main sights at ease!

Amazing small group tour in Istanbul!
We took a tour of Istanbul in June. We engaged with this company for a day to guide us in historical places of Istanbul at the old city and visited Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Roman Hippodrome and Grand Bazaar. Lunch was just delicious!! Our tour guide Ozlem was very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about Istanbul. She made the whole day memorable for us. I strongly recommend this tour company and Ozlem as your professional tour guide. The historical monuments become more interesting and memorable when you have a professional tour guide with 4-year university degree in tour guiding. This tour is a must if you want to explore all the major sights at the old city of Istanbul!
