Very good guide, knowledgeable and friendly. Sites visited were great. Unfortunately we were taken to a large shop full of fake goods where we had to watch a fashion show and then be given a hard sell by a ghastly spiv.

Lunch was terrible btw.

No hotel pickup as promised, A/C bus ride for only first 15 min of day, no skipping lines as promised, disgusting lunch. Not worth $150USD per person. Disorganized guide. We could have had a better experience by tagging along another group for free. What a rip off.

This was a fantastic tour. My dad and I had a great time. Burak was our tour guide. He was excellent. As a history teacher, it was a dream come true. Strongly recommend it. From the food at Anka Palace Cuisine to Hagia Sophia, well worth it.

A great day to see a few highlights in Istanbul. Our guide Burak was friendly and personable which was an added bonus. He was extremely knowledgeable, and we learned much about the history of Istanbul. We enjoyed the tour and the rooftop lunch. A great way to spend your first full day in the city!

Knowledgeable but very confusing regarding communication. We were told we would be picked up at 8:20, but the driver arrived at 8. Luckily we were ready. We were not told we needed What’s App. We were confused about final meeting point and could not be contacted since the tour operator did not have international calling.

Lunch was so so. Fixed menu - no choice. Be prepared for lots of walking.
