Florence_B, Jul 2026

Traditional Turkish experience

You will eat a lot, make sure you go hungry. We were a bigger group and had two guides: Sule and Zey. Both lovely, soft spoken and very knowledgeable. The Dervish show was mesmerizing interesting. After the show you get taken to a restaurant where they keep the dishes coming. Lots of it and all delicious traditionally Turkish. I highly recommend this activity 👌

Most fun in years!

This was very fun! We had a wonderful experience. The dancers were fantastic! The DJ was great! Our waitress was so kind and friendly and the photographers took beautiful photos of my son. They all created such a good vibe that we ended with a congo line as though we were all friends. My cheeks were hurting from smiling so much! Also, we followed the advice of an earlier reviewer and booked the pick up and drop off and that was completely worth it. We had a lovely driver! Overall, an unforgettable experience!

Half Day Private Istanbul Tour

Jillian_D, Jun 2026

Wonderful afternoon in Istanbul

This was a wonderful way to see the most popular points of interest in Istanbul on a half-day tour. Uğur met us promptly and escorted us all over the old town while telling us historical facts of the city and country, not just the sites we visited. If we had longer in Istanbul, we would have loved to spend more time with him on a longer tour; he was wonderfully friendly, funny, and accommodating. He even took us to a local ice cream shop for delicious Turkish ice cream and baklava! Five stars for Uğur and this tour!

Excellent tour with an amazing guide

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Emre. He was incredibly organized, making sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Knowledgeable of the area, history, and local culture, Emre shared fascinating insights throughout the tour. On top of that, he had a great sense of humor, keeping the group entertained and engaged the entire time. His enthusiasm and professionalism made the experience truly memorable. I would highly recommend Emre to anyone looking for an enjoyable and informative tour!

Istanbul Bosphorus Sunset Cruise Experience on Luxury Yacht

Benjamin_E, Jun 2026

Large Yacht Cruise

First, just details that aren’t in listing, it’s a mega yacht (2 levels) so lots of people. The company is great at communicating the meeting point beforehand. On board they served drinks and snacks while a tour guide narrated what you are passing first as you cruise up the European side, then again returning in the Asian side. The crew were all very nice and our family enjoyed our time on the sunset cruise.

Small-Group Topkapi Palace and Harem Tour with Tickets

Dougall_D, Jun 2026

Avoid the crowds and make best use of your time

We arrived on a VERY busy 5-day holiday weekend and it seemed that the entire Turkish population had descended on Istanbul. Came to Topkapi the day before and the entrance lines were insane. As it looked like we would have to wait hours to get in any of the major sights we decided to book this tour for the next morning. Excellent decision!! Our guide, Kaan, was informative and took us through all the main sights, just managing to avoid the throngs of people that were entering just behind us. Topkapi should not be missed when in Istanbul!!

Istanbul Adventures with Ezgi

We had a great time with Ezgi in Istanbul! Her knowledge about the history and architecture of the various places we visited was impressive and made the excursion all the more enjoyable. She was able to steer us away from some of the more obvious tourist traps and used her experience and connections with some of the local vendors to get us into places faster and easier. She was even willing to indulge us by waiting in a lengthy (but fast moving) line to see the Blue Mosque. I’ll never forget her quick thinking when we started getting hounded by all the rug merchants in the Grand Bazaar. I had just purchased a rug from a trusted vendor outside the market and the bag they gave me made it obvious to all the other vendors at the Bazaar that I had just bought one. They were eager to help me buy more when Ezgi had the brilliant idea to put the bag inside another one to disguise it. She also made an excellent suggestion for lunch at Rumeli Kebab & Steak House. Not only was the food delicious but the waitstaff were funny and engaging. Highly recommended Ezgi for your future Istanbul tours and Rumeli for the food and atmosphere.

Relaxing, interesting great cruise!

Absolutely amazing! Instructions were clear on when and how to meet. The staff on the boat was SO nice and fun. We were served charming snacks, black tea and Turkish coffee at various points on the tour. Great, clear, concise moderation of all the sights and history along the way. An added bonus was seeing tons of dolphins jumping in the water on the way back. It was a gorgeous day, which didn’t hurt either! I highly recommend.

Great sunset cruise

Fantastic experience for the price. I didn't really to see what the price was outside of viator but highly doubt you could beat the price . For what viator charged I doubt we even covered our portion of the gas price. Outside of the great deal I would still reccomend. It was a really nice sunset tour on a decent boat and with a pleasant company. Both my wife and I really enjoyed the evening cruise.
