Fantastic 5.0

Our hotel was near Taksim, and a guide met us at the pickup point, drove us to the Old City, where we met our tour guide and group, and then we started our walking tour. The guide spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. They explained Turkish history very well, organized chronologically. I had watched some videos about Turkish history beforehand, which made it much easier to follow along. The guide mentioned they had studied history, and they answered all our questions thoroughly. It was convenient that admission fees could be paid in Euros, Dollars, or Lira. Lunch was a delicious local meal. Shopping was included, but it wasn't pushy. We also had time for a cup of tea in between, and enjoyed free time at the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace, which was great.

I participated in a guided Japanese-language tour. The guide spoke Japanese very well, and their explanations were thorough and easy to understand, so I was able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were only two participants including myself, which created a relaxing atmosphere unique to small groups. The Basilica Cistern was especially magical and memorable. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul for the first time.

Great walking tour - Baris has been great with lots of sharing and story telling about the history and landmarks! Meet up point was easy to locate. Lunch was also delicious. It would be better if we could pay the optional admission tickets via cards instead of cash.

Great 4.0

We recently went on a city tour in Istanbul, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience, thanks to our amazing guide, Aisha. Despite some challenges—half of our group arrived late and moved at a very slow pace—she managed everything with grace, patience, and professionalism. She kept the group engaged, never showed any frustration, and adjusted the schedule smoothly without making anyone feel rushed or left behind. The weather didn’t cooperate either—it rained quite a bit—but our guide quickly adapted and took us to a cozy local restaurant that served absolutely delicious Turkish food. It was the perfect warm escape from the rain and a great way to experience the culture. Overall, her calm leadership, flexibility, and knowledge really made this tour stand out. Rain or shine, it was a memorable day exploring Istanbul.

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Turkish history and culture, which made every stop on the tour so interesting. We got to see breathtaking sights, including Hagia Sophia, Blue mosque, and the scenery was out of this world.

Our guide Mr Baris is very knowledgeable and helpful. He shared a lot about the history of the places. However, as it’s a walking tour, it is quite tiring especially for those a little older. Nonetheless a good tour to began with at Istanbul.

Baris was the best! Super informative, patient, and full of great energy — we managed to see so many beautiful spots in just a few hours. It felt like exploring the city with a friend who knows all its secrets!
