Must Do with Ludviq!
This is a must do activity for anyone visiting Istanbul! Ludviq was such a knowledgeable guide. We could ask anything and he would have an answer. He was funny, interactive, and kept at a good pace. We were able to see all the main highlights in just one day - it was such a comprehensive tour. We ended the day with a Bosporus cruise, which was such a relaxing trip after walking all day and being able to see the beautiful city from the water. I would highly recommend this for anyone, especially if it is your first time.

Fantastic 1 day highlights tour of Istanbul
Ozzy was a brilliant guide with in-depth knowledge of all the sights and cultural areas, and most importantly, he was really interesting to listen to. The tour was well-paced, and we had plenty of time to explore the Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, and the other important monuments. Ozzy pointed out loads of interesting features in the area, and I feel I learnt a huge amount without being bombarded with dates, facts, and figures. The stories of the palace concubines and enslaved people were fascinating and really helped bring to life what it was like when the sultans inhabited Topkapi Palace. Ozzy is also a great photographer so was able to help us with getting some great shots of the various areas.
If you're visiting Istanbul, I"d highly recommend you book your tour with Ozzy — he'll bring the city's history to life in a way that's engaging, insightful, and genuinely memorable. A great way to see all the main highlights in one day.

A great guide makes all the difference!
Our guide Hope was amazing. He had a great personality and was very knowledgeable about Turkish culture and history. I almost did not make the excursion due to health issues but I’m glad we powered through. Proper dress code is required. Closed toe shoes, covered head shoulders and knees. Must remove shoes at blue mosque.

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.

Great Tour for our Family of 4
Perfect way to see the three major sites of Istanbul. Omer our guide was very knowledgeable and kept the interest of our 12 & 14 year old well. We got lucky we were the only ones on the tour. The half day tour was good timing for us and left with so much appreciation for the history and people of Turkey.

Great Tour of Blue Mosque etc
Our family really enjoyed our tour. The guide was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We were always given ten minutes to roam in each site on our own to take photos etc. The basilica cistern (optional) was closed for unforeseen repairs, but we were given the choice for a refund of that admission or an alternate cistern. We chose the alternate. Highly advise doing the cistern option as it’s a neat different thing to see but also, especially in summer, it’s about 10° cooler down underground in the cistern so it’s a lovely break from the heat. Would definitely recommend this tour and this company.

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.

Excellent private tour
We had an excellent tour with our Guide Renan who was a university professor. She had a vast knowledge of history and culture and was eager and expert at communicating this to us. She tailored the trip to our interest and needs and is a very caring person. Our thanks to Renan

Exceptional tour!
I feel like the description of the tour on Viator doesn't do this justice! This is so much more than just breakfast and lunch! We made several stops and enjoyed such a variety of cuisine, from different brands including simit, with menemen, honey coated butter, and different jams, to scorpion fish and salad, to pickle juice, lahmacun, roasted nuts and dried fruits, and ice cream! We also got two sample a sandwich made with lamb intestines and learned how to read a person's fortune in their coffee grounds, which was so much fun! Of course, there was plenty of tea! Dafne is an extraordinary guide and she made sure that everyone participated and had a good time! I couldn't recommend this tour more.

Take this tour, it is well worth the time and money!
I think this tour is a must to see so much of the beauty of Istanbul and learn the significance of what you are seeing. The tour was well organized and a great way to get around in a time efficient manner. The cruise was awesome and an opportunity for great pictures.

Excellent historical tour of Blue Mosque, Sultan’s palace and Grand Bazaar
Turns out it was just me on the tour. It was a wonderful day. My guide tailored the tour since we had some time and I got to see a pottery demonstration and a rug knotting demonstration. I learned about the way the tiles for the Sultan’s palace were made and saw some amazing Turkish carpets. The Blue Mosque is so beautiful and the tour of the Grand Bazaar was great. I really enjoyed and highly recommend this tour.

Istanbul Impressario
It was a highly informative and educational tour for my wife and I. We learned detailed information about the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, tour of a Government subsidized rug store close to the Bazaar and lunch thereafter at an authentic Turkish restaurant, where we were served with an appetizer, kebab and dessert. Following lunch, we toured the Spice Market, which had exotic tastes and fragrances. This was then followed by a cruise tour of the Bosphorus. The entire tour was conducted and led by the knowledgeable Mr. Ali. He is definitely "the Istanbul impressario"; everything about Istanbul and more...
We truly enjoyed the itinerary and even more, Ali made the difference!!!!
