Private Customizable Istanbul Day Tour with Licensed Guide

Amazing day with our guide Shakir. A fountain of knowledge, super professional and a very friendly guide. I can't say enough good things about him. He made our day so much better by getting us into all the places we wanted to go in record time. He also brought it alive with his knowledge of history. The respect that other guides and people in the visited sites have shown Shakir was remarkable. You know you have the best when so many people show him their respect. Highly recommended this private tour!!!!

An incredible experience. Ali made the day informative and fun. A must for anyone. Highly recommend. 5*

Ali was a great tour guide, the transport provided was excellent, comfortable and spacious. He was very engaging, knowledge and made sure he made the group feel welcomed and provided some great insights given the locations and destinations we visited throughout the day. I would highly recommend Ali as a tour operator - you won't be disappointed

We did a private tour with Ali. He was very knowledgeable of the city and gave a wonderful personal experience. We had a fabulous day getting to know the city but also he was very entertaining. He was very flexible with where we wanted to go and was very honest about "tourists traps". We enjoyed our day so much we added another day of site seeing with him so we can enjoy the East side while we are here. Thank you Ali very much for making our trip special.

We had the Best Private tour with Our own Guide and Driver. We saw many things that weren’t on regular tours. Our Guide was the Best ! We saw the Jewish-Italian area and the Jewish-Greek neighborhood. We went to the Spice Market which was a definite great place to visit. Whole Tour was Perfect!

We had one full day to see as much of Instanbul as we could on our way to Mongolia this summer. Thanks to our guide, Ali, we did an everything but the palaces which really deserve a full day. Ali catered the trip to our desires after asking what we want to see which was much appreciated and thanks to him we saw most of the sites in the old city and even went over to the Asian side allowing us to cross the Bosphorous twice. He made suggestions to make the trip as efficient as possible. Our two teen age sons had a good time and so did we. The spot he recommended for lunch was delicious and catered to my wife’s vegetarian diet. We even saw how Turkish rugs were made and spent more than we wanted to on three of them. Suggests skipping the rug place unless you really want to buy a rug. They are beautiful. Thanks Ali for the great memories. Highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide Ali was amazing. He was knowledgeable, accommodating and fun! I would highly recommend this tour. And what a bonus if Ali happens to be your guide.

We fell in love with Istanbul thanks to our guide, Ali. He was so personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He took the time to find out what we would like to see, and he made some suggestions that turned out to be the highlights of our tour. He kept three generations of us from teens to grandparents engaged and happy. He accommodated the needs of those of us with limited mobility while also ensuring that those of us who were up for walking got to see everything that we wanted, which was a lot! We ended our tour with a deep appreciation for the history, architecture, and culture of Istanbul. We loved spending the day with our kind and talented guide, Ali!

Our tour guide, Ali Reza, made our visit to Istanbul truly unforgettable. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of this amazing city. His sense of humor and warm personality made every moment enjoyable, and he kept us engaged throughout the entire tour. Ali went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and that our stay was as pleasant and memorable as possible. No request was too much for him, and he always made us feel welcomed and well taken care of. His knowledge of Istanbul’s history, landmarks, and hidden gems is exceptional, and he shared fascinating stories that brought the city to life. Ali came highly recommended to us, and he absolutely did not disappoint. He exceeded every expectation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I would recommend him to anyone visiting Istanbul without hesitation. Thank you, Ali, for making our trip so special—we look forward to seeing you again on our next visit!

Great experience with our guide Sezen. Very flexible, personable and accommodating. Knowledgeable about the historical sightseeings. Great experience learning more about local lifestyles and traditions.
