Our day’s walking tour in Istanbul was fantastic! Ege, our tour guide, was exceptional. His deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture made the experience incredibly enriching. Plus, his great sense of humor kept us engaged throughout the 8-hour (got extended by 2 hours) walk. All the major attractions were conveniently located within walking distance, making it an enjoyable and informative journey. Thank you, Ege!
First, be careful if you’re reserving a day before, they forgot me and it took me an hour and half to get to them, but I heard some other participants reserved even later than me. Second, I paid hotel pickup but I stayed in the center so basically they just dropped me off on the main street which is 5-8mins walk to my hotel. I feel I just wasted 5$. Third, there are some mosque visits which require a handkerchief. At the Sophia Mosque we had to buy it for extra 20 Lira. I think it would be better if they mentioned that on the tour description. Overall, the tour itself is very accurately planned. I loved all the spots we stopped.
It was an amazing tour experience with the history and mesmerizing & wonderful architectures of Istanbul.
