Awesome Experience - Our Tour Guide Sevilay was excellent, very friendly, knowledgeable, took her time to explain the venues and answer our questions, she even agreed to wait and meet us at the Hypodrome after our Cruise arrived a little after the Tour started. Highly recommended.

Great tour! - This is one of the most interesting tours I have ever taken. Sevilay our tour guide for the day was very kind, knowledgeable, and detailed oriented. She made us feel very welcome. The highlight of my day was the Blue Mosque… breathtaking! This tour was very well organized to take advantage of every minute. Sevilay gave us a great recommendation to try local and fresh food at lunch time! I highly recommend this tour. Thanks so much for an amazing day!

A fantastic small group walking tour of Istanbul. Very good value for money . - Our guide collected us from our hotel and took us on a full day walking tour of the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia , the Topkapi Palace and Harem. the Grand Bazaar and a pottery workshop. He was very friendly knowledgeable and interesting. There were only 5 people in our group. We had lunch in a rooftop restaurant with a view of the Bosphorus. This tour included the entrance fees and skip the line and lunch. It was a highly enjoyable walking tour with a great guide which we highly recommend if you are in Istanbul.

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!!!

You must see - It was beautiful.
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.

Istanbul walking - Good day out. Guide and ddriver was punctual which I like. Informative. Only suggestion - get the "whispers" as crowds are big and sometimes hard to hear or keep up.

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
