Imran was a great guide, friendly, honest, and thoughtful. He patiently responded to all our questions and also openly taught us about the local life and culture. Thank you for your generosity! We enjoyed doing the half day tour during offseason as we didnt have to wait in queues and instead, had plenty of time to admire the details, ask questions and learn from the history of Turkey.

It was by far the best tour ever!! We booked it on the last moment and it was the best choice we have made since we arrived in Istanbul:) Our guide , Ozge, came 30mins earlier than the pick up time and waited for us at the lobby, and stayed professional throughout the journey:) Her knowledge of the history of all the monuments and historic remains are outstanding , we couldn't have had a better guide. I 100% recommend her for a group or a private tour, she is sensitive to details while also having a great sense of leadership:) Thank you for the tour, Ozge:)

I booked this tour for a stopover that we had by way of Turkish Airlines. Our plane was a little over an hour late in its departure, and I kept the company abreast. When we finally got to our hotel, our tour guide Muhammed was already waiting. My wife and I quickly refreshed and met him back in the lobby. First things, he was extremely patient! Secondly, he adjusted the tour to ensure that we hit every point. As we went from place to place, Muhammed's knowledge was vast, and he did an excellent job at explaining the history of every stop. He was excellent at presenting the information in a concise way without it coming off as overwhelming. He welcomed questions and answered them. We stopped by a local spot that he suggested for a quick bite, and it was very flavorful and piqued our interest in other Turkish restaurants. He also made sure that we got back to our hotel using public forms of transportation and not gotten swindled by cab drivers. His care and interpreter skills were key in that and we greatly appreciate his care and concern for my wife and I in another country for such a short stint. Muhammed Salih is an excellent guide and should be requested should you select this tour!

Jason, our tour guide did an awesome job with our tour. First, make sure you start at 9am! Less crowd and a more personal experience. 2nd, do a private tour….. This way, you get to ask questions, your guide will take pictures at the right place, right time, and get an insider and important history that you don’t read in magazines or tour books. The time we spent during our private tour was well spent. We learned important details about each mosque, basilica, and got to enjoy shopping at the Grand Bazaar with no hassles! We even had a short stop for snacks - - tasted the most popular desserts and yogurt drink. Make sure you ask for Jason as your tour guide!
