Great tour, expensive price
The tour was amazing. The sites are wonderful, absolutely recommended. The guide was really good! He explained the history of the place, the tour was enjoyable and not rushed! He managed to let us visit some place like the harem and the treasury before they got too crowded. However, the price was quite expensive.

Worthwhile tour to be considered but pick what YOU want
We had an excellent guide for the day Barrach I think his name was
He was very informative and took us at our own pace
We would have given the tour 5 out of 5 but we did a stop at a rug making shop and we really felt under pressure to make a purchase
We didn’t make a purchase as we explained before hand one of the couple had already bought a rug and the other couple had no interest in buying a rug
This stop took at least 40 mins out of our day and we were all a little upset about it

The Best Tour for Istanbul
Ozzy was amazing! He really did an excellent job! He is gifted in his knowledge and experience. Most guides refer to him because he has trained so many. This tour will not disappoint.

Great Tour of the Top Attractions
Lutfi was our guide and he was fabulous! He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the sites sharing history, legends and answered all of our questions. He had recommendations for restaurants and other activities. Also, he was very capable in herding our little group through crowded areas ensuring that we had the best spots for photo opportunities.

The Best
Viator’s guide was excellent. He knew vast details and was friendly, lively and engaging. He was also very kind accommodating my last minute scheduling hiccup. He clearly loves his home Istanbul and that shines throughout his tour.

Burak, Our Guide for Istanbul Highlights Was the Best
Burak was a most skillful guide at getting us in and out of crowded areas quickly. Getting us past the long lines and giving us very detailed information on the many places we visited. He was attentive to when we needed to rest, when we needed water and the toilet. Our lunch was delicious as well.
Thank you for the opportunity to see Istanbul with just a knowledgeable guide. Many other tour guides we passed kept telling us that Burak was the best. He sure was!!!!!!!

Money well spent
Excellent tour and well organised.
Our guide Murat was very knowledgeable about the history and the details of the places we visited.
He was extremely friendly and caring and he also gave us a lot of helpful tips for navigating Istanbul on our own after the tour.
Thanks to our guide we never had to wait for entering the places and this allowed us to have plenty of time to see and enjoy the places.
The tour lasted about four hours and we enjoyed every minute.
