Amazing tour - The host was knowledgeable and educated. He took me to the best places and answered all my questions. Have the confidence now to go about out on my own. As a frequent traveler, I have realized to do they walking city tours the very first day that you get here so you can see everything there is to see and go back to where you want go back to.

Great escape to old city . - I was in Istanbul for business and did not have a lot of time to visit around . I had a just one day to see around and not to lose time , I booked a city tour and really enjoyed it. The guide had a marvellous english , speak fluently and had a huge knowledge about all history of Istanbul . I definately recommend city tour because you will have a chance to see main monuments such as topkapi palace , grand bazaar , santa sophia mosque etc. I did not have a time to do bosphorous tour and visit princess islands . It is walking tour that could be tiring but the places you need to visit close to eachother and with the help of guide , you will be able to vist many places . Lastly , I was picked up by guide on time from my hotel as it was promised . Thanks for all support .

Great guide! - Tansu was a great guide and helped us tremendously. Her knowledge of the city helped us visit each of the highlights we wanted, despite there being long lines at some of them. Our friends (who were in a much larger group) didn't get as much time at each attraction. Would definitely recommend her for anyone looking to travel to Istanbul!
