Great tour with a great guide - We visited all the highlights in the itinerary but unfortunately Grand Bazaar was closed due to a religious festival and we ran out of time for Galata tower. Rukiye was an excellent guide explaining in detail all the history as well as other interesting facts and stories associated with each of the places we visited. The harem at Topkapi palace was definitely worth a visit and the interior of Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque was beautiful and amazing. We were able to skip the long queues (since guides can get priority) which saved a lot of time. (There were many large groups from cruise ships and because of the religious festival/holiday). Definitely recommend a private tour especially if short on time.

Great vacations - We had an amazing private guided tour of Istanbul with airport transfer service. Our guide, Ms. Ozge, was very informative and kind. She made our trip very special. We visited the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace, and Grand Bazaar. Ms. Ozge shared a lot of history and information about each place. The sights were beautiful, and we learned so much about Turkish art and culture. We also enjoyed good food and great shopping. We had to pay the entrance fees for Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace, but it was worth it. Ms. Ozge bought the tickets for us, so we didn't have to wait in long lines. Guides have priority ticket offices, which saved us a lot of time. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend this tour!

Highly Informative Tour - We had a busy day, visiting all the promised sites , except Topkapi which is closed on Tuesdays. Sel (Selcuk) was extremely knowledgeable, with great historical knowledge and very experienced as a guide. We had a pleasant simple lunch close to the Grand Bazaar, which we enjoyed. We were given several shopping opportunities, which, with hindsight, consumed a lot of time. I recommend this tour operator, and Selcuk as a guide.
