I enjoyed the tour guide on this tour.
He was very knowledgeable and always took time to answer people's questions.
The tour also includes a fifteen minute fashion show at a specific retailer.

Very organized. Met at meeting point and all was ready. Guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable and passionate about history of the monuments and of Istanbul. Pace was good, neither rushed nor too long. Guide was very attentive about where members of his group were at all times. Definitely recommend this tour.

Very upset and disappointed. The tour guide didn’t arrive, and when I contacted him 20 minutes AFTER the tour should have started (we arrived 15mins early- so had been already waiting more than 30mins), he said it was because we were the only people to book that tour for the day. There was no prior notice or contact to tell us it was not happening. Absolutely appalling and upsetting. He said our options were that we could wait at that spot for another few HOURS and he will send a tour guide to us, or do a completely different tour in a completely different district, or reschedule - all very inconsiderate options for travelers who don’t have the luxury of time. We were very upset and disappointed. Plus we are still waiting for our refund. Do not recommend booking this.

The guide was very informative, and respectful of tourists from different nationalities, and different religions. The walk was easy, and fun

The friendly guide took our family on a personal and informative tour of the crucial monuments of Istanbul. My 10-year old also enjoyed the tour and learned a lot.

We loved this tour. We got to see a lot of the city. After the tour ended, we were given ideas of where to go and what to see. It was extremely helpful. We all agreed this was the best tour we were on.

We had a great time. Local Experience Istanbul was super accommodating and helped make the trip perfect for our group. It was very easy to coordinate with them from the States.

great tour, omut was a great guide, knowledgeable and friendly. only reason for 4-stars is the organization of the tour company that omut works for. First, the Viator voucher had two different start times on it, 1300 and 1330, so we had to wait a half hour, so we ate something in the restaurant (meeting point). Then 3 people on the tour were on a bus that was stuck in Istanbul traffic, and were in touch with omut by telephone, so the tour didn't start until 1345 or 1350. I don't know if this was just a city bus, or the transfers that were offered by the tour operator or viator.

anyway the tour was fine, and yes we did stop in a leather goods store at the end for a 6-minute sales presentation, as often happens in these countries, but it was fast, and not high-pressure at all, unlike the comments from others on this site. it was not a big problem.

anyway great tour with omut, we would do it again. thank you omut
