Wonderful tour to get to see the other important mosques around istanbul 😍
This tour was great! We got Gülce as our tour guide! She was very nice and cheerful, spoke very good english and was very patient with us during our day long walk around istanbul. It is a great tour to pair with another one of the usual hagia sophia/blue mosque tour. In this one, you get to visit the other great mosques around istanbul (sultanamet, mehmed pasha, st sergio and baccus) and also go to the grand bazaar and the egyptian bazaar. Gülce was very kind to take us other places (like a turkish rug store, to get coffee before the tour started) and even helped get better prices at the outdoor bazaar. Finished the day eating turkish delights and tea!

Great tour with a Great Guide
We did an Istanbul tour with my partner by directly contacting with Osman after my friends' recommendation. Although I am Turkish, I learned a lot of history, things I didn't know with our well knowledged guide Jasmin (in Turkish Yasemin) so did my partner Samuel. We would like to advise especially her if she is available. Hope to see her on our next trip to Turkey!
