Reviews
I loved our tour especially our guide, Burak. He was informative and very helpful. He even helped me take photos and he waits whenever people get lost. it's super value for money because you get to see and experience the highlights and also get to skip most of the lone.
We had Omer as our guide and he was great. He was engaging and knowledgeable, and also showed us the best spots for photos. We enjoyed the small group, and loved that he also pointed out some little-known tidbits at some of the locations we visited. Would recommend this tour!
Burak was our guide, and he was highly knowledgeable about history and fluent in English. This tour deepened my appreciation for the engineering and architecture of the past. Each iconic spot was well-explained, making the experience even more fascinating, especially for those who love history and Greek mythology. We visited all the places in the itinerary with enough time for photos and also enjoyed a pleasant tea and coffee break. Our tour took place on a Friday, but there were no issues with entry, thanks to the skip-the-line tickets. There were eight of us in the group, and overall, I found this tour absolutely worth it!
Elif was an exceptional private tour guide during our time in Istanbul. She guided us through Ayasofya, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome Area, and the Grand Bazaar with impressive knowledge and patience. Her engaging and friendly approach made the tour both informative and enjoyable. We truly appreciated her enthusiasm and wish her all the success in her career—she absolutely deserves it!
I had a wonderful tour on Dec 28th guided by Omer who is very knowledgeable and kind. It turned out that I was only one who signed up for the tour. The company could have cancelled the tour but it didn’t so it became a private tour. My guide, Omer, majoed in the tourism in the Uni and explained many interesting facts about the places, which made the sightseeing more memorable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour!
we were pleasantly surprised to find out that we were the only couple for the tour. Great that they did not cancel on us due to the small number. highly recommended to go with an experienced guide like Omar when you visit Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and cistern to hear the history and stories behind.
Nice pace and small group, just myself and a couple. Burak was our guide. He explained very well and knowledgable. Skip the line tickets included really save time
The tour is amazing! just me and my friend, 2 person only. Omer guided us thru each iconic spot with rich history story behind and also left us sufficient time to take picture. And also taught us some Turkish which made our following days trip in Turkey easiser. highly recommend just book this trip which includes all the tickets and you can really skip those long cue and bring back home so much joyful moments and meaningful stories. Thank you Omer!
I have almost privat guild tour with Omer, he explains a lot of history and friendly to help anything we needed. I will highly recommend.
Very interesting tours with our tour guild Omar showing us around and the fluent introduction of the Istanbul historical history. Unfortunately the weather was cold and wet otherwise would be prefect.
