Review for: Istanbul Old City & Bosphorus Full-Day Historical Tour

Great experience and worth every peny. We were only the ones who participated in the tour and it seemed like we had our private guide. Our tour guide, Elaida, was very knowledgeable about the different tourist spots. So much to see in just a span of 12 hours. Great lunch as well.

Review for: Istanbul Old City & Bosphorus Full-Day Historical Tour

I joined the tour alone, and the guide was very kind and considerate, checking in on me to make sure I was okay and having fun. They also taught me how to take great photos with the mosque in the background and took pictures for me. The guide was excellent, providing detailed explanations of historical facts and background. Lunch was a delicious Istanbul specialty, including dessert, and I was completely full! I was thoroughly satisfied with both the guide and the lunch restaurant. Thank you very much.

Review for: Istanbul Old City & Bosphorus Full-Day Historical Tour

We had a wonderful tour of Istanbul, exploring its beautiful sites and magnificent mosques. Our guide, Batu, was well-versed on Istanbul’s history, he was professional and friendly, making the experience both enjoyable and informative. In the evening, we enjoyed a 2-hr boat ride around the Bosphorus River. We truly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul! We were also picked up and dropped off to our hotel which was very convenient.

Our guide Elaida was fantastic. The tour was worth every pent. Perfect if you only have a few days in Istanbul, this is great option that covers most of the must-see attractions in Istanbul.

Review for: Istanbul Old City & Bosphorus Full-Day Historical Tour

We had such a wonderful time on this tour! The Bosphorus was absolutely beautiful, and visiting the Blue Mosque was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was well-organised, making it easy and stress-free to explore some of Istanbul’s most iconic places. The free lunch was also a lovely bonus and gave us the chance to relax and enjoy some delicious Turkish food along the way. Our tour guide was fantastic—very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. They shared interesting stories and information about the places we visited, which made the experience even more meaningful. Overall, we highly recommend this tour, especially if it’s your first time in Istanbul. It was a great way to see the city, learn about its history, and enjoy the beautiful Bosphorus in one day. Definitely worth it!

Review for: Full-day Old City Tour

We had an incredible tour of Istanbul’s Old City and couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Batuhan. He was patient, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable, bringing the rich history of each landmark to life in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow. We saw all the key highlights, and he made sure everyone in the group felt included and well taken care of. This tour gave me such a deep appreciation for Istanbul’s culture and history. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city – and if you can, definitely ask for Batuhan.

Review for: Full-day Old City Tour

Our experience on the Istanbul Old City tour was phenomenal, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Batu! From start to finish, Batu's knowledge of Istanbul's rich history and vibrant culture was truly impressive. He didn't just recite facts; he wove captivating narratives that brought the ancient sites to life. Every question we had was met with a thoughtful and detailed answer, demonstrating his deep understanding of the city. Beyond his expertise, Batu was consistently polite, respectful, and genuinely a pleasure to spend the day with. His passion for Istanbul was infectious, and it made our exploration so much more engaging and meaningful. Adding to the fantastic experience, the lunch provided was also surprisingly delicious and a welcome break amidst our historical journey. If you're planning a trip to Istanbul and want to truly immerse yourself in the wonders of the Old City, I cannot recommend this tour, and especially tour guide Batu, highly enoug
