This was an amazing tour!...
This was an amazing tour! Lütfullah is super knowledgeable, personable, and fun, and really went out of his way to be helpful. I felt like I learned a lot and got to see most of Istanbul’s most famous sights all in one tour. I especially recommend this if you only have a day or two in Istanbul, but want to make sure you are hitting the most important spots. 10/10 would recommend this tour :)

Great tour of Istanbul highlights
Oguzhan is an excellent guide and received many questions with skill. He has a good sense of humour and guided the tour to avoid local busyness.

This was a comprehensive tour with a very knowledgeable guide. We packed a lot of sights in into a short amount of time, but we only had a limited time in Istanbul so it was perfect for us.

Baris tour guide is the Best!
We lucked out with our guide Baris who was so incredibly knowledgeable in the history of every place we visited. He is a true professional and a really nice guy as well. We learned a lot today but also had a lot of fun with our group. I would highly recommend requesting Baris for your tour in Istanbul.

Great but no grand bazaar
Great tour of Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque with expert guide. Would recommend for those two sites alone The guide answered all our questions and was great about sharing the history of each site.
The only reason I’m not giving a 5-star is that I assumed the grand bazaar was guided and we were only given directions to the bazaar. One of the reasons I booked this tour is I thought it we would get some insights into the market.

A lovely tour of some of Istanbul's most popular landmarks
What a lovely tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable not only about the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia but also the history of religions. She shared with us the many stories about changes made to these building during their extensive history and how they reflect the contemporary society and rulership.
