Enjoyable tour of historic Istanbul. Excellent guide who let us set the pace of the tour. He gave us great insight into things to see, how to get around on public transport and good places to purchase items of interest.

The tour was good but Kenan Bay, the guide, was wonderful. We schedule a 9:30, Kenan texted the night before if we can leave early to beat the lines. We agreed and it was a smart decision. When we got there the line was huge. He had bought all of our tickets beforehand so we didn't have to wait in that ir any ticket lines which is separate from entrance line. He knows alot of people. He was able to move us up on all of the lines we had to wait for. This saved us hours of standing in lines on this day. Which was also good because it rained off and on all day. They only thing we didn't like 100% was when we stopped at the making of rugs/carpet. The demonstration was nice but they tried to sell the rugs afterwards. There was no pressure to buy but we felt uncomfortable saying no. The Bazzar was a nice treat. We bought a few items there. This was a private tour. Kenan Bay will take you to the sites you want to see not just the ones on the list. My wife wanted to see them making tiles. That was nice and we bought a couple things there. Our guide even set us up to watch a dancing show. He made us reservation for later that night. You can't go wrong with Guide Kenan Bay.

We enjoyed an educational 4 hours with Aydin visiting the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Mosque, Hippodrome and The Basilica Cistern. Aydin was enthusiastic, entertaining and charming. It was apparent that he enjoyed sharing the history of his country with us. We enjoyed learning! It was a perfectly sunning day, too. Don’t hesitate to book this tour.

Blue Mosque.
Disappointed that the guide didn't provide us with listening devices. It was small group but very hard to hear what she was saying. Felt like we missed a lot of the information. Some in group felt railroaded into restaurant for lunch. Guide seemed knowledgeable but because had to hear we missed alot

Incredible private day tour in Istanbul, Specially thanks tonour chic and trendy tour guide. My daughter (19 years old) and I loved her way of briefing Turkish history, she knew very well every detail. She also took us to have an incredible lunch and a taste of Turkish coffee . Excellent day at Istanbul with Billura….. we want to go back

A very enjoyable day with an experienced guide (Hero). Hotel pickup /drop off made things easy and lots to see including Blue Mosque, palace, cistern, Grand Bazaar. Tour does not include entry ticket cost to Palace 1500 TL and 800 for Cistern. Both were worth seeing (particularly the Palace).

We were a group of 18 adults. Our guide was Musa. Turkey was insanely crowded and although Musa was very knowledgeable, for such a large group, we really needed headsets and a flag to find him. Not all of our group could hear all of the information he was saying and we lost him a few times in the crowds. This tour would be best with small groups. We were separated a few times and that was a little unnerving. We loved the Grand Bizarre and the shop he took us to. We felt like we could trust this vendor.
