What are people saying about Istanbul

Excellent trip along the Bosphorus
Excellent communication, boat bigger than I had anticipated. Pastries, fruit plate, soft drinks and tea served with option to buy alcoholic drinks if wanted. Staff helpful and unobtrusive. Would definitely recommend. Two hour cruise was one of the highlights of our Istanbul trip

Great tour of Istanbul
We had a great day out, our tour guide Ayşe Yıldırım could not have been more helpful. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and helpfulness were excellent. She made sure we saw all the highlights, and took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch. This is a good tour, and Ayşe is a great guide.

I would 100% recommend...
I would 100% recommend this tour to my friends and anymore family who come to Istanbul! It's the perfect length of time to not feel rushed while seeing the highlights in historic Istanbul. Our tour guide, Sude, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in answering our questions as well.
We leave with happy memories, would love to do it again !

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!

Highlights of Istanbul
Our group of 4 were fortunate to have “OJ” as our private tour guide seeing the highlights of Istanbul. She was attentive to our needs and wishes. Took us to the Cistern which was not on our itinerary but something we wanted to see. Knowledgable, articulate, pleasant and fun best describe this guide and experience.

Amazing day in Istanbul with a top notch guide
Eylem is the most knowledgeable and friendly tour guide we have EVER had. She was truly remarkable. I could not recommend more. She was flexible with the itinerary in order to accommodate our wishes and generous with her time. We never felt rushed but got a wonderful, comprehensive tour.

Fantastic experience!
Our walking tour with John was exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and made every stop fascinating. We visited so many places and learned a lot—it was time well spent. Thanks, John, for a fantastic experience!
Please note that tickets to certain venues are not included and are paid separately.

Exceptional Istanbul In One Day Experience
Fantastic experience with Samet! He was very knowledgeable, professional, considerate and kind. We learned so much from the experience. We visited all of the highlights in Istanbul. One day was not enough. Hope Viator will consider offering a 2-day full day tour of Istanbul in the future. Our guide was the best!

Learned Much More About Topkapi Palace With An Informed Guide
Both the Topkapi Palace and Basilica Cistern were amazing, and you observe and learn much more with a guide vs. doing it on your own. Huseyin was an excellent guide, providing great insights and then delving deeper based on our questions. He kept us on an appropriate pace without rushing us, and I would highly recommend him to others.
The only thing I would change is to tell people that they can purchase Basilica tickets with a credit card. That will prevent them from bringing more currency than necessary.
Also, patrons should beware of hawkers outside the Cistern trying to misdirect you. Somebody tried that with us, but fortunately Huseyin had been in communication with us and even shared a picture of himself so we know who to look for.

Perfect Itinerary and Guide (Tayfun)
Our guide, Tayfun, was excellent. We did a private tour and communicated with the tour company in advance about what we’d most like to see. Tayfun customized our experience to be exactly what we wanted and gave us tons of historical info for context. Highly recommend!

Wonderful tour with a wonderful guide!
Had a great 2-day tour with our guide, Çiçek. She is a fountain of knowledge to all the sites and knows her way around the city. Highly recommend booking with the driver option so they can take you through some crazy streets to help you see the sites. Çiçek also had great stores to recommend in the Bazaar if you want to shop.

Great tour!
I had a lovely tour with Zel who was informative and tailored the tour as it was just me. She collected me at my hotel and gave me information on tram stops and tips about the area I was staying in. She is passionate and knowledgeable about all aspects of Istanbul and Turkey and I liked her immediately. She gave me plenty of photo opportunities and became my photographer for certain photos! We toured the Blue Mosque, the Topaki Palace, the Hippodrome, the
Grand Bazaar, & had lunch. I would 100% recommend Zel on this tour as your guide. Thank you Zel.
