What are people saying about Istanbul

Turkish Food Night and Rooftop Experience Istanbul

Kristina_A, Apr 2026

Great way to experience Istanbul on a long layover

My family (kids, parents, and grandparents) loved our food tour with Zeynep on our long layover in Istanbul. It was the perfect way to get a lot of Turkish food culture from a fun local in a short amount of time. On top of all that, Zeynep was incredibly helpful in communicating with our driver as we had a somewhat complicated luggage/hotel situation at the end of the tour and we don't speak Turkish. Definitely a highlight of our short stay in town.

Istanbul Traditional Turkish Dinner and Dervish Experience

Brenda_F, Apr 2026

Great tour and guide

Zey was outstanding. She was very personable and knowledgeable. The street foods were delicious, her explanation of the Dervish experience was very informative and the restaurant and food selections were perfect. Finally she went out of her way to make sure we were able to find our way back to our hotel. This was a great tour and Zey was a wonderful guide.

Ramon_C, Mar 2026

We have the privilege to...

We have the privilege to have Ziena as a tour guide, she is a very talented, knowledgeable and experienced young lady, she went out of her to explain every aspect of the tour. The tour was great, but the tour guide made one of the best tours we had ever have. We strongly recommend the tour and the great guide.

Small Group Istanbul Tour: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque & Bazaar

Carol_H, Feb 2026

A delightful informative experience!

Ali was an AMAZING guide. We never felt rushed and he tailored the tour based on what we were most interested in. He is a wealth of information and a joy to be around. We learned so much about the country of Turkey in general, in addition to the sites we visited. I highly recommend him and this tour.

Galen_S, Feb 2026

Fabulous evening tour

Had a fabulous evening tour with Latif. We saw several different neighborhoods as well as the key historical sites. Istanbul is magical in the evening! We visited an excellent restaurant as well. Everything ran very smoothly. I was especially interested in the history and Latif was super knowledgeable about it.

Harsha_P, Dec 2025

Nice experience

This is a good experience. It is a good company, I believe and they try to accommodate your requests. The vehicle was in good condition and lunch (my option was vegetarian) was very nice . But the guide could improve some guiding skills in explaining things a bit more clearly.

EJ_T, Dec 2025

One of the best guides we have experienced.

Wonderful experience. Very knowledgeable guide, both of the history, end of great places to visit besides the most well-known. Very accommodating. We had an excellent and enjoyable time and greatly enjoyed thousands of years of history! Very recommended guide.

Small Group Tour: Essential Istanbul

Jennifer_J, Dec 2025

More Than a Tour, A Truly Personal Experience

This tour ended up being just me, and it turned into one of the most meaningful experiences of my trip. Lale was absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly attentive. Beyond the historical and cultural depth she brought to Istanbul’s landmarks, she was immensely helpful as a solo traveler. She generously shared practical tips on language, customs, transportation, and what and where to eat, all in a way that felt thoughtful and personal rather than scripted. The pacing was relaxed, the conversation engaging, and the experience felt more like being shown the city by a trusted local friend than taking a formal tour. I truly appreciated her care and insight and look forward to staying in touch with her. I couldn’t recommend this tour, and Lale, more highly.

Alison_P, Nov 2025

Had such a lovely day...

Had such a lovely day exploring Sultanahmet’s iconic landmarks with Mrs Renan. She shared so much history and insight at every stop, and even suggested great places to visit—especially fun spots for a teen. Grateful for the wonderful tour! Ps: It’s a walking tour, so be prepared to wear comfortable shoes as there will be lots of walking.

2 Day All Inclusive Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul with Optional Balloon Flight

janice_r, Oct 2025

Wonderful Trip to Cappadocia

This was a great experience. The organization of the trip, the guides, and the itinerary were all well done. All details were covered so we didn't have to do anything. Our flight tickets to Cappadocia and back, boarding passes, and balloon flight details were all taken care of by Bella Turca Travel. We got such a wonderful exposure to Cappadocia!

Istanbul to Gallipoli Full Day Tour with Lunch and Transfers

Tamara_L, Oct 2025

A great experience. Highly recommend.

The shuttle picked us up right on time. The vehicle was very clean. The leg room isn't the best so if you have long legs I would suggest taking the aisle seat to stretch out. The front seat was also available for someone to sit in. They drive very fast with the speed limit in some sections 130km but I'm sure they were going faster. The morning rest stop was ok with the toilets clean. The rest stop on the way home wasn't the best. We were given 20 minutes so not enough time to order in the restaurant at the petrol station so most people just bought a bag of chips. As we arrived back in Istanbul at 9.30pm after a very long day this would be our dinner. The included lunch when you arrive was ok. The actual tour of Gallipoli was amazing. To get an understanding of the terrain and the challenging conditions that the soldiers fought in was staggering. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to provide information from all perspectives. He also helped one tour member find the particular grave of a soldier ao they could lay a poppy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, its truly worth it.

Istanbul Off the Beaten Path Tour with Guide, Lunch and Transfers

Dennis_G, Sep 2025

A Fabulous Tour of Fener, Balat and other Areas off the beaten Track

This was a fabulous tour of some of the less-travelled areas of Istanbul (Fener and Balat) as well as the spice market and portions of the Grand Bazaar. We were the only people on the tour so our guide, Mohammed was able to make a few modifications to accommodate my wife who uses a car. He was very knowledgeable about the history of this area of the city, the peoples who once lived there and the architecture. The tour also included the Greek Orthodox Cathedral, the spice market and areas around the Grand Bazaar. I would highly recommend this tour
