Mustafa guide and friend. 5 star tour! - We did a 6 hour tour with Mustafa. FUNNN guy
His is very knowledgeable smart and has a funny bone.
Very friendly which made us as couples like we hung out with a friend than a guide.
Saw all major highlights of the city and he took us to some great spots for food cravings.
He gave us much time to explore a few areas inside Topakapi palace and grand bazar.
If you ever decide to visit Turkey please do get on this tour with Mustafa. We truly enjoyed and was worth it!!!

We altogether as a family visited the location. It was very busy and rushed but the atmosphere was wonderful.

Great tour and fabulous guide. - Guide was so knowledgeable and went at the perfect pace. She was so attentive and accommodating. This tour was fabulous to begin with but the guide made it so rememorable.

Good tour - The guide was very knowledgeable and flexible. One in our family was not as mobile as the rest of us and our guide was patient and attentive to that.

Top ticket items in Sultanahmet - If you are hard pressed for time and need all the top ticket items in Sultanahmet ticked off in one day, then this is the tour for you. But be prepared for a long day. There is lots to see and lots of walking.
Our guide, Selvilay was prompt, kept in touch pre tour and was very knowledgeable.
We also knew that there is a tendency to take tourists to preferred businesses in the Grand Bazaar. We were ready for it, but can be a little off-putting.
The late afternoon drop off by the tour company’s transport was not possible as the driver was stuck in the notorious Istanbul traffic. Our guide helped out with sorting an Istanbul card for tram travel.

Just the Right and Amazing Tour - I think this was the perfect choice I could have done, yes one long day of walking lots & lots but you end up seeing all major sights in old Istanbul in one full day.
The Tour Guide Gurkan was amazing with great knowledge about history places sights and great humour. A special thanks to him with out him this tour wouldn’t have been successful.
I highly recommend this tour.

Not worth it for the price - There wasn't the bus promised in the ad and there wasn't a visit to all the places mentioned, there wasn't the blue mosque, nor the grand bazaar or the carpet place
