What are people saying about Istanbul

Jaye_M, Sep 2026

Must do in Istanbul!

Zeynep was amazing!! She was funny, gracious, and extremely knowledgeable. We went on a Saturday evening - Highly recommend doing this in the late afternoon or evening to enjoy golden hour or night lights. We enjoyed the private transportation between sites, and of course all of the delicious food! Make sure you get your photos on the gorgeous rooftop.

Istanbul Shore Excursion : Best Seller Private Istanbul Tour

Greg_D, Sep 2026

An unforgettable day in Istanbul - Great tour and guide

An Unforgettable Day in Istanbul — Ask for Ayşe! What a fantastic day in Istanbul! From the moment Ayşe met my wife and me at the cruise terminal, we knew we were in great hands. She was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about sharing her city and Turkish culture with us. Ayşe guided us through Istanbul’s major sights while expertly helping us navigate the crowds and avoid long lines. Her knowledge went far beyond simply explaining the history of the places we visited. She shared Turkish culture, traditions, everyday life, and her own experiences, which made the entire day so much more personal and memorable. What really made the tour special was Ayşe herself. By the end of the day, it didn’t feel like we had spent the day with a tour guide — it felt like we had spent the day exploring Istanbul with a friend. We came away with a much greater appreciation for Istanbul, Turkey, and its people. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip and exactly what a private tour should be. We highly recommend this tour, and if you have the opportunity to request Ayşe as your guide, do it. She gave us a truly fantastic and unforgettable day in Istanbul. Five stars without hesitation!

Istanbul: Blue Mosque & Hagia Sophia Small-Group Tour with ticket

dtfdpj5yff, Sep 2026

Excellent 2 1/2 Hour Tour of Iconic Istanbul Sites

Excellent tour, if you have a knowledgeable and personable guide. Our guide, Umut Ozdiker, gave us excellent overview of the history of the Blue Mosque, Haige Sophia and the Hippodrome. The pace of the tour was good…not too fast or too slow. You must be able to walk and stand for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Haige Sophia is under renovation with lots of scaffolding and blocked views…but still a must see if you’re in Istanbul. This tour was half the price of the cruise excursion…and Umut was more interesting and engaging than the ship’s guest lecturer on Istanbul. Would highly recommend.

Istanbul Old City Highlights: Private Walking Tour

William_S, Sep 2026

Great Option for Seeing the Highlights in Old City Istanbul!

I traveled to Istanbul for work so only had one day to see some of the city. This was the perfect option to hit the highlights in Old City Istanbul: Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cistern and Grand Bazaar. Batu was a wonderful guide! He provided details about where we visited that I never would have figured out on my own, clued me into some delicious spots to grab a bite or a tea and answered all my (many) questions! Highly recommend!!!!

Great experience - highly recommend

This is an excellent tour; our guide Muzarraf was friendly and has great historical knowledge, the sites we visited are spectacular and it was so good not to have to queue or buy tickets for the museums. The timing of the tour also works very well as there were limited crowds. We highly recommend this experience.

Istanbul Bosphorus Sunset Cruise Experience on Luxury Yacht

Jorge_R, Aug 2026

Bosphorus Experience with Excellent Service

Excellent experience on the Bosphorus tour. Kaan was a great host, very friendly, attentive, and always making sure everyone was comfortable throughout the trip. The atmosphere was very relaxing and enjoyable, even for a solo traveler. The snacks were good and the server which I do not remember his name did a great job. Overall, the service from the entire team was excellent. There is also the option to order additional drinks for an extra cost, and I really appreciated that the prices were very reasonable and similar to what you would pay on land. I would definitely recommend this tour. It was a very pleasant, relaxing experience and a great way to enjoy Istanbul from the Bosphorus.

Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop

Karl_K, Aug 2026

Perfect experience, even the 2nd time.

This is THE top-notch experience in all options of Bosphorus Cruises. This was our second time taking the same tour, on the same boat; this time with a fabulously entertaining Serdar as our tour guide. The boat is spacious and NEVER overcrowded. They limit the number of passengers but both times we took this tour, there was about half the maximum number of guests. The boat is in excellent shape, new, and well-maintained. The entire staff could not do enough for us. They were also punctual.

Samer_U, Jul 2026

Great tour

Mr. Sabhi was knowledgeable, great sense of humor, very organized and fun to listen to. He made sure to go over some info even for the parts we explored by ourselves. Truly a memorable experience. We can’t wait to come back once the Sulran’s room and Sultana’s room are opened to public after renovations. Thank you.

Taste of Istanbul Food Tour: Street Food & Culture

Shona_D, Jul 2026

Great Tour!

What a fantastic food tour! Our guide and his guide friend were brilliant- kind, friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. We had already been on a different food tour and our guides made sure we tried new food we had not already tried. The food was delicious and plentiful. I liked the fact we just paid for the food we wanted. Balat is a fantastic colourful area - I would highly recommend this food tour. Thanks again to the guides :)

Istanbul Sunset Luxury Yacht Cruise Experience with Local Guide

Shannon_B, Jun 2026

Great way to see and learn about the city!

This is our first time to Istanbul. We did the cruise as our first activity in the city. It was a great way to learn about the city and see it from the river. Snacks and drinks are limited but we knew that going into it. You can buy alcohol while on board. They do stop so you can watch the sunset and take some great photos. I would highly recommend.
