Nice group dinner experience
Zeynep was very friendly, the food super delicious. I expected a little more walking around as the main part took place in one restaurant, but service & food was super, also for me as a vegetarian. Zeynep definitely made sure everyone I having a good time, so thank you very much!

Perfect way to spend my first day in Istanbul
What a great way to spend my first day in Istanbul. Our small group felt intimate and friendly, and Sharik was a fantastic guide. He gave us historical context, answered all of our questions, and even helped us all buy gifts to bring home at good prices from his favorite local shops. Lunch was delicious, and I felt very safe with the driver too. Don’t hesitate to book this tour—you won’t regret it.!

Zeynep + Dinner in Istanbul great plan!
We loved the experience with Zeynep! She is a super friendly, approachable, and charismatic guide, one of those people who enjoy what they do and manage to convey it to you. She took us to learn about the tradition of the dervishes and explained its meaning in such an interesting way that it made the experience even more special.
In addition, she took us to eat authentic Turkish food, away from the typical tourist spots, something we appreciated very much because it allowed us to get to know the real Istanbul a little bit more.
We recommend her 100%! We have family and friends who will come to Istanbul in 2027 and we already know who we are going to recommend to them. Thank you very much for everything, Zeynep!

Mustafa, you’re the man!!
Did a walking tour with Mustafa as our guide, he definitely made the tour worth it and was very accommodating. His historical explanations were both educational and entertaining, he also talked about other cultural information that were not specific to the tour which made it much more interesting. For lunch, he took us to an amazing restaurant with the good food and the perfect view, after which he directed us to shops that were in line with our interests. I definitely recommend taking the guided tour for those who want to get the feel of the area and the people. If you want good photos and recommendations, Mustafa’s your guy.

Terrific tour with a Terrific Guide - Orhan
We booked this tour because it is perfect for cruise ship passengers. Our guide Orhan met us on time at the Galataport cruise port. Excellent guide. The tour took us to the Hippodrome, the Blue Mosque, Haiga Sophia, a stop at local ceramic artisian shop, shopping at a local spice and sweets store and the Grand Bazzar. Orhan was great. He was detailed in explaining the history and customs of the sites we visited. He is very personable and professional. A friendly demeanor with passion for his job. He answered all our questions. Took his time walking with us and helped guide us back to our starting point on the Tram System. Recommend this tour and Orhan for anyone on a cruise stop in Instanbul.

A very good guide to Istanbul
a great option for getting to know Istanbul. Wonderful locations. Convenient logistics for the entire tour, including transfers to and from the hotel. I especially liked our Russian-speaking guide - Sevinch Seva, with excellent knowledge of history and a very interesting storyteller.

Prices' Islands Tour with Ege
Under the guidance of Mr. Ege, we had a very relaxing, educational, informative, and picturesque experience. Ege is very proficient in English, polite, kind, and with a great sense of humor. It was a great get away from the busy, hectic Istanbul. Highly recommend especially with Ege as the professional tour guide. We like him very much. Wishing him all the best.

Our Guide Muzuffar Really Made Our Trip!
Had a wonderful experience with our guide Muzuffar who told us many interesting details about the Blue Mosque, Haggia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. There was no waiting around with him; we got right in and right out on all the attractions and took so many wonderful pictures. Thank you Muzuffar!

Best tour guide ever
Mert , i believe was his name, met us right outside port and went over or day with us. He took us to everyplace we wanted to see and knew the history WELL. He even shared with us some Greek mythology about the peacock. We had just seen a peacock. He took us to a wonderful place for lunch. Ate everything but the table. Plus , We had ample time to shop. He was always willing to let us rest a minute or two as we were to senior ladies. He shared his umbrella and walked us right back to the ship terminal. He was the best tour guide i have ever had on VIAtor. We were lucky to have him. Well worth the money.

An Amazing First Visit to Istanbul with Kenan!
This was our first time in Istanbul, and we had an amazing experience! Kenan was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He brought the history of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque to life and shared wonderful insights about the city. He also gave us great recommendations for visiting the Asian side. We would highly recommend Kenan and this tour!

You will not be disappointed. Book this tour!!
Pilgrimage completed! This was truly an experience not to miss. Our tour was 15 people from all over the world, 4 Australians, 2 Irish included. We managed to fit every site of importance with plenty of time to explore and reflect. A truly emotional day for many of us, the nation of Turkiye have paid such respect to each and every nation involved. Our guide Birak (not Borat in a manikini) knew more about the Gallipoli campaign and Australian and New Zealand culture than anyone l have ever met. His humility, genuine respect and knowledge added to this wonderful experience. You will be very lucky to spend the day with such an intelligent man. Our drivers were always helpful and told us about interesting points along the way, especially our morning driver (l am sorry l forgot his name). A very comfortable and safe drive with good options for food etc both ways. It’s a long day but worth every moment!!
I would 100% recommend this tour.

Not your standard tour, Better!
This was so very interesting and totally different than the standard tour. While I certainly saw a number of key sites and learned a great deal of history and culture this was the by no means a 'standard' tour. My tour guide was honest and open about the culture, the history, the city and anything that I asked. Additionally, I have to say, the lunch he took me on was one of my absolute favorites. It was clear why the locals ate there and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
