Private guide tour gives you better options
We booked a private tour for the two of us as we wanted to explore buildings not on the usual list of sights. Our guide Ervin was hugely knowledgeable and accommodated our requests. Her guide status got us skip the line entrance. Definitely worth it. Absolutely would do it again.

Perfect fall day for a boat ride
Very good communication about pick up. Crew was very attentive and we enjoyed the information about the city as we toured. The treats and beverages were perfect. Plenty of room on board . Crew offered to take pictures for us. We felt safe, weather was great and crew was attentive. Transportation to and from was perfect.

The best night out in Istanbul
Loved this experience with Ziya. We had a great night out visiting some of the best locations in Istanbul. Ziya is very accommodating, and so knowledgeable. Her love for Istanbul is infectious, you can’t help but fall in love with the city the way she narrates it. She was also very accommodating to our fussy 8 and 10 year old kids - they had the best night out. Food is delicious and the view on the rooftop bar is amazing. Highly recommend

Istanbul historic city tour
Great tour with Belgin a very knowledgeable guide. She had planned the tour in a good order to avoid the outdoor heat. Flexible in allowing to change the itinerary a little to see sites we wanted to visit which were not on the original list. She knew her history and also took us to a great restaurant for lunch which we returned to for dinner a couple of days later.

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.

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.

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.

We had so much fun on...
We had so much fun on this excursion. We didn't see much off the boat but there was so much to see inside we were very happy. We did have a table near the dance floor, that was a big help for our 8 year old, I'm not sure he'd be able to see from a table further back. The food was delicious and the entertainment lively. There was a bit of a hiccup with transportation but I had changed the original order so I'll take responsibility for it. The discrepancy was refunded quickly. I'm actually booking this tour again to bring my middle kid and my mother in a few months!

Excellent Tour!!
Wow! I wish we would have had time to do the sunset cruise too. This was an awesome trip. The yacht was beautiful and there was plenty of seating. The crew brought yummy snacks, drinks and you could purchase alcohol if you liked. Our tour guide clearly knew Istanbul and the history. He was non-stop on the mic telling us all about the different buildings, the history and was extremely entertaining and charismatic. We had a shop stop on the Asian side (I do wish was a smidge longer) and we had about 30 min to explore.
I highly recommend this particular tour because it was not super packed like many of the other big boats we saw on the water. We had about 20 people versus over 100 on the other boats.

Flexible and Fun!
This tour was perfect! Our guide, Celal, was friendly, witty, and knowledgeable. We appreciated all of his local knowledge, recommendations, and explanation of the history of Istanbul. He explained thousands of years of history in a way that was easy to understand. Best of all, the tour was flexible! He allowed us to choose our pace and where we went. I highly recommend!

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.
