What are people saying about Istanbul

Asa_W, Jun 2026

Excellent tour experience. Highly recommended.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Ludwig. No matter what topic we addressed during our tour-details of the lives of the people or culture, historic significance, current preservation activities, government policies, or even technological details-we were unable to find a limit to his knowledge. He was both well organized, guiding us through entry to sites and bypassing lines without the slightest problem, and flexible, accommodating our particular needs. We couldn’t be happier with our tour experience.

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!!

Gunter_S, May 2026

Fantastic tour with an excellent tour guide

It was a great tour and our guide Naci was really a wealth of knowledge. Not just about the sites we visited but also about history and customs in general. Pity only five stars are available more would have been appropriate. Highly recommend this tour.

Half day Fener-Balat Walking Tour in Istanbul

Jacqueline_C, May 2026

Historical eye candy

This place was eye candy for me. So much history in such a small and colorful location. My tour guide Yunus was an excellent speaker. Ge was fluent in english and presented the historical information in a captivating manner. I highly recommend this tour but do take in mind that there is one very steep hill. The guide will allot for some a fee moments to rest.

Istanbul Top Sights Walking Tour

Excellent guide! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a small group of 6 which worked well. It’s important to know the dress requirements. Women need to cover their heads with a scarf or similar. No shorts or bare shoulders for men and women.. Must remove shoes in Blue Mosque. Only one restroom in entire area we walked for many tourists.. All sights within walking distance. Long stairs going down into Basilica Cistern. We would definitely recommend this tour!

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.

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.

Half Day Private Istanbul Tour

Alicia_H, Mar 2026

Perfect

My husband, 13 year-old son, and I met Nurten at the German Fountain for a fabulous half-day tour of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and Grand Bazaar. Nurten was so friendly and easy to talk to! She took family photos for us at all of the sites. Along the way, we stopped for tea and treats at a cafe, and she pointed out places that we wouldn’t have otherwise noticed to have lunch and dinner all along our route for later on our trip. She had answers for all of our questions. After giving us a lot of helpful tips for shopping in the Grand Bazaar (including details around handbag shops, etc.) I feel ready to return and do some more shopping on my own. She even stayed on after our tour would naturally end and patiently taught us how to shop for carpets in one shop outside the market and helped us extricate ourselves gracefully when we were not ready to buy. She was funny and smart and never rushed us or directed us somewhere we did not want to go. A good guide can make a tour good or bad and we were so lucky to meet Nurten. Even my son loved the tour and our guide- which says a lot coming from a teenager who doesn’t love museums! Fully recommend!

Small Group Tour: Essential Istanbul

Angela_B, Feb 2026

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.

Next Level Experience!

This tour alone was worth the entire cost of my trip! It was clear our tour guide, Salih, had an amazing depth of understanding about the culture and history of this magnificent city. He gave a highly detailed narrative about the sites and the antiquities contained within. He was personable and engaging, flexible and informative and I was sad that I hadn’t taken advantage of his other tours during my stay. If you’re looking for that ‘next level’ experience, you must book with Salih, even if you’re in town only a few hours!

Istanbul Kadikoy Food Tour with 12+ Local Delicacies Tastings

Gerald_S, Aug 2025

Istanbul Secret Walking Food Tour

We enjoyed this tasty food tour with Jeremy. We sampled about 10 different food and beverages in the 3 hours we were in the Kadikoy district of Istanbul. Jeremy is a resident of Kadikoy and it was nice to be able to try these foods and get commentary from a expert. These are foods that we normally would not have tried on our own. In fact, this was our favorite food tour of our Mediterranean trip and we would enjoy taking this tour again the next time we are in Istanbul.
