Topaki Palace Tour

Andy_M, Apr 2026

This was a well guided trip around the palace area - the guide was knowledgeable, friendly and responsive.

Transformational tour!

Mark_L, Jun 2025

Wow! Our tour with Cumali was incredible. The sheer depth of his historical knowledge, particularly regarding the Ottoman Empire, was astounding. Beyond the rich history, the guided Spice Market tour and the authentic local food experience he provided truly elevated the entire journey. It was a genuinely transformational experience – thank you!

Good Way to See Topkapi

Our guide Oscan, was very knowledgeable and gave great detail on the history of the palace and descriptions of what we were seeing. The guide did meet us at the exit pf the cruise terminal. The one negative was that, once we met up with the guide, we had to get on the tram to take us to the location of the palace. It was very harrying - only 10 seconds to get on and off a very crowded tram once the doors opened. Oscan had to throw his body between the doors or I would have been locked out without knowledge of where to get off. Just FYI - Much walking involved
