Topkapi Palace tours

definetly worth the money, the driver Mr.Senturk is very on time. and the tour guide (Mr.Sultan) if im not mistaken his name, he is very knowledgeable very detail in explain every thing and the most important is not rushing, also want to mention about the lunch which is very delicious. So i would like to recommend this trip to anyone who's planning to visit Istanbul👍🏻

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.

This pass was super convenient and saved me a lot of time. I didn’t have to queue for ticket just scan the QR code and walk in. The only attraction that required meeting up with a guide was Topkapi Palace. The main queues were for the security check and the museum section inside the palace. Overall, it made sightseeing much easier.

Great explanations by the tour guide, easy to understand, and worth the money. Pick up and drop off from/to hotel has been provided by the tour. Make sure you wear a comfortable footwear and bring your own scarf.

Because I will be attending a business meeting later, I only chose the first day of the three-day itinerary. The tour guide, Ms. Dilek, was very polite, warm and professional. The process of picking up and dropping off from the hotel and visiting the attractions was smooth. She turned the complex history of Turkey into simple stories, and her clear English made it easy for me to understand the content behind these historical sights. I had a wonderful and enjoyable experience on my first day in Istanbul.

This is good for the skip the line feature if you did not buy the muse pass. I had few museum in mind and this was the top of the list and the line was long and this would come in helpful. Guide is helpful and willing to answer questions. There are so many artifacts he wont join you in all the buildings, but would give you an overview.

The tour was a walking tour since vehicles are not allowed around the areas we were going to visit. The pick-up was in a bus and then we were dropped off from where all the destinations were walking distance. The guide was very informative, learnt a lot about the history of Istanbul and all the monuments are absolutely beautiful.

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
