Jason, our tour guide did an awesome job with our tour. First, make sure you start at 9am! Less crowd and a more personal experience. 2nd, do a private tour….. This way, you get to ask questions, your guide will take pictures at the right place, right time, and get an insider and important history that you don’t read in magazines or tour books. The time we spent during our private tour was well spent. We learned important details about each mosque, basilica, and got to enjoy shopping at the Grand Bazaar with no hassles! We even had a short stop for snacks - - tasted the most popular desserts and yogurt drink. Make sure you ask for Jason as your tour guide!

This is the best guided tour in town. Excellent service and very knowledgeable guide. Ask for Ozge when you make the reservations. She's amazing and very flexible and courteous as a guide. The tour went on for 8 hours and she kept us all engaged throughout. Hands down five stars!

This was a great tour. Since it was private, I got to adjust it any way I wanted. Ozge, my tour guide was very accommodating and knowledgable about the city and the many mosques. We spent almost 8 hours together and I saw a lot and learned a lot. I would recommend this tour without hesitation. A+++++ Ozge!!!

We only had a half day in Istanbul, but we wanted to see the highlights. Our guide, Ozge, was wonderful! She took us at our pace but got us to the main sights. She even communicated our needs for a taxi back to our hotel and then to the port. Perfect! 😊

The half day walking tour taking in the Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, the Hippodrome, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar was very interesting. Our guide, Odgy, was excellent, amusing, good company and knowledgeable. She spoke good English, had detailed knowledge of the places we visited and presented it with confidence. Her cheerful, friendly personality helped to make the tour memorable, a day we will never forget.

Istanbul is an amazing city-a kaleidoscope of color-with a rich culture & interesting history! It would have been impossible to tour the major sites without guidance. Yasin was an excellent tour guide who maneuvered us safely through the crowds with very little wait time. We enjoyed his vast knowledge of everything & his personality as well!

Excellent one on one trip. Burak is incredibly knowledgeable. Saw all the key attractions with plenty of background. Also got all the info I needed for the rest of my time in the city, and suggestions beyond Istanbul as well. Very knowledgeable about the culture in the city and general nation, both modern and historical. A very friendly tour guide as well, sure to get along with. Would book a tour again no doubt.

Jason was our guide and he was fantastic. He was punctual, got us in and out of the major sites before big crowds since we met early, knowledgeable and showed us some off the beaten path things around the city that interested us. Would highly recommend him. He also helped us with some purchases we were interested in. Thank you to Jason!
