Great overview tour of Istanbul
Great 1 day overview of Istanbul - Lutfi updated on details & what to bring/wear in advance and gave a great tour of all key attractions, while helping out with photos and adjusting schedule if needed (we had a great stop for lunch)☺️ ended up being an individual tour for me, which was even better!
Thank you!

Fascinating Tour
Muhammat was a brilliant guide. I cannot recommend him enough, especially if you have younger people in your group. My children (15,13,10) were attentive and interested throughout. He showed us intricate details about the place that we never knew or paid attention to, despite having visited before many years ago. I walked away with a renewed sense of wonder and intrigue about this fascinating place.

This tour was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide Oguzhan (Ozzie) was truly knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. This is a remarkable tour and you get to be amazed all day. It is a day I’ll remember always. Book today you won’t regret it. Highly recommend. Follow Ozzie on instagram, he’s a talented artist. @art.oguzha

Constantinople Treasures!
What a wonderful day! Zeynep was so patient and kind to our group! She was so informative concerning the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and showed us the wonderful sites and sounds of Istanbul! Our last stop was the Grand Bazaar with its many treasures! Wonderful day!

Umit was an excellent guide!
Our guide Umit Baran was really excellent! We learned so much that we extended the tour and went with him on the tour to the cistern and then chatted with him for an extra 15 minutes after the tour!

Full day with a great guide
Ozzy was a great tour guide and covered all the must see locations providing very detailed historical knowledge for each. In addition the lunch was great and Ozzy takes great photos for you at some hidden spots. Would highly recommend especially if you are in town for a day and want to see as much as you can.
