Top tier guide for Topkapi, Harem & Basilica Cistern
I had a guided tour with Murat today and he was excellent! I’ve been on many tours throughout Europe, and this one stood out. I was with my partner and toddler, and Murat paced everything perfectly, engaging with my daughter to keep her interested as best he could. Across Topkapi Palace, the Harem, and the Basilica Cistern, he was a wealth of knowledge and insight, helping us really get a feel for the deep history of each. We never felt rushed at any point, and were encouraged to explore in short bursts after being given context on each area.
I’d recommend this to anyone who’s considering it. It’s been the cherry on top of a fantastic first trip to Istanbul, one I’d been planning for years. Credit to Murat for a brilliant tour; he was top tier!
PS - he takes great photos too!

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!

10/10 Highly Recommend!
Mert was the best tour guide we have ever had!
He was so knowledgeable about the locations, their history, the architecture, the cultural impact, and had interesting facts galore. His english was incredible. Our tour ended up being a group of 3 (which then turned into a group of 2) and he tailored the experience to us and our interests. We had such an incredible time, I recommend this tour to anyone looking to visit Istanbul.

100% recommended
We had a tour with Zeynep who was wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable about the local culture and food. This trip was excellent value for money and I would definitely recommend it as a must do for anyone wishing to experience traditional Turkish culture and food

Bosphorus dinner cruise a hoot! Worth the money.
Loved it! Because I am a bit of a cynic at times it bordered a teenie tiny bit on camp but really fun. Edible food, dancin’, a belly dancer… what more could you want? Well, great sunset over a beautiful city and it delivered.
Do get hotel pickup. Don’t stress.

Dervish & Dinner
Zeynep was a wonderful guide who was excited to show us some of the food highlights of Istanbul as well as introduce us to the mesmerising Dervish tradition. We had a small group and Zeynep included us all in conversations and made us all feel welcomed.

Best Tour Guide Ever!!!
Mert was the BEST tour guide we have ever had!!! He loves Istanbul and its history and it showed. His knowledge was outstanding and his sense of humor was the best. He took time for everyone on the excursion. I want to visit Istanbul again because of Mert!!!

Our Istanbul tour...
Our Istanbul tour exceeded all expectations. Our guide was punctual, well-organized, and incredibly passionate about his city. He tailored the tour to our interests and showed us both the famous landmarks and hidden gems of Istanbul. His English was excellent, and he answered all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Istanbul, this is the guide to choose.

We had a great experience...
We had a great experience with Melissa exploring the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. We only had a short layover in Istanbul, so this was a great way to see these sights. Melissa was very knowledgeable and she did a very good job setting the pace for our small group during the excursion.

Istanbul experience from the water
Our luxury yacht cruise was the perfect capstone to our three-day stay in Istanbul. From start to finish, everything was seamless—the staff arranged convenient hotel pickup and return, making the experience completely stress-free.
The onboard narration added depth to the journey, bringing the city’s rich history to life as we cruised along the Bosphorus. Service throughout was exceptional, with a thoughtful selection of tea, coffee, nuts, sandwiches, and fresh fruit. The addition of cozy fleece blankets was especially appreciated on the cool April morning.
One of the highlights was stepping ashore on the Asian side of the city for a short stroll—an unexpected and delightful way to experience another perspective of Istanbul.
An unforgettable experience and a truly memorable way to see this beautiful city.

Great cruise with a great staff !
Although the weather was gloomy, the staff was great! The meeting place was easy to find. The tour guide did a great job of explaining everything we saw. Snacks and drinks were also provided. There was plenty of spare of the boat for everyone to sit comfortably. I wish the weather was better because the views were amazing !!
