Huseyin was a great guide and flexible in adapting the tour to my interests. Lots of great historical stories.

My guide Koray was excellent, very knowledgable and was very good in explaining the history of the main sites and Mosques. I recommend this tour for those wanting a great guide through this historic and beautiful city.

We really want to thank Eser (I hope I am spelling the name correctly) for the lovely time he spent with us, taking us down the history lane of Istanbul. We visited almost all the places that were mentioned in the tour description. The description said: half day tour, but it took us 5+ hours to do cover the grounds, and we had to skip the Raja pasha mosque because we had another activity in the evening. We were concerned that we wouldn't be able to make it if we go to that mosque. Otherwise, it would probably take all day. Eser offered us a choice to walk or ride the Tram, and we chose walking. Perhaps, if we took the Tram, it would take less time. Something to consider! Eser is an amazing story teller and a very passionate guide. It felt like walking around the city with a friend. I recommend this company, and if you get Eser, you won't regret.
