Excellent Tour
Published on Oct, 2024
We were collected exactly on time from the Marmara Hotel. The driver was friendly and polite and the bus was clean and air conditioned. Collection of other passengers was very efficient. Our tour guide (I didn’t catch his name) was very knowledgable, easy going and a real pleasure to be led by. Great guy. Very likeable. My only complaint is that we did not have enough time in Istanbul to see all of the wonderful treasures and to discover more of the amazing history and heritage, however I am grateful to have covered so much in a single day, which would not be possible without a guide, and your service perfectly served this purpose. I would highly recommend this tour and I will definitely be back for a longer visit. All in all, brilliant service and great value.

Wonderful Heritage tour for one day! Covers all the main attractions. Our tour guide Ali is one of the most knowledgeable and professional guides and is also very friendly, polite, and respectful. The atmosphere he creates is warm and welcoming. Awesome experience. The company itself is extremely organized - everything is on time, good communication with necessary instructions, excellent staff. Used them also for the airport transfer.
Great.

Everything worked like clockwork. Enjoyable tour. Muzaffar, the tour guide was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. Lunch was at a basic kabob place but delicious. I also used Adore to book my car to Sabina. Would use them again.
Great guide for entire day
