Everything covered knowledgeably
I decided to enjoy Topkapı Palace as part of a tour because of its size. This tour was really informative and covered everything you could want to see. Our tour guide, Defne, was really knowledgeable and spoke clearly and eloquently about the history, politics and architecture. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a comprehensive overview of the palace.

Pack your patience as this location was very crowded. Our guide was great for sharing lots on interesting info and advocating for our group to get theough to areas. Would have been good if the tour was 30-60 minutes longer, as we had to view the rest of the grounds on our own because we ran out of time.

Walking tour of Istanbul historical sights.
Great experience. We saw all the highlights, great insights from our tour guide. We learnt a lot about the history, culture and day to day life of Istanbul. It was a small group - max 10 people - which makes it very easy to get around. If you do nothing else do this tour.

Great option to same time with a private tour guide
Erdem was a wonderful guide, and we saved so much time touring the cistern and the palace this way. Great communication ahead of time on WhatsApp, and it was easy to find Erdem at the start of the tour.

We had a very knowledgeable guide from Tourmania and we learned a lot of details about the history of the palace as well as the history of Istanbul in general.

The guide Erol Ütgün was amazing, very friendly, very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all our questions. The tour was more like walking with a friend, filled with laughter and no rush.

Lutfi is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced tour guide, and we appreciated the depth of information he shared. At times, though, it was difficult to hear him, as he spoke quite softly, which made parts of the tour harder to follow. Overall, if you’re someone who prefers a quieter, more low-key guide and values deep knowledge, you may enjoy this tour, but clearer projection would really improve the experience.
