A professional and brilliant experience from beginning to the end,guided by a very informative tour guide named Sevilay - Did several stops exploring historical buildings with a rich history of Istambul.Ended with an epic and nostalgic Bosphorus cruise which passed near magnificent palaces,mosques ,through the Bosphorus bridge with beautiful sights on both the Asian and European sides.Taking home good memoirs and a gooth story to tell.

We recommend Sevilay! - Sevilay did an incredible job as our tour guide. Adjusted itinerary order to help us minimize time in the sun and in lines, explained things very well and was extremely knowledgeable

Amazing tour! - Guide was very patient with us, as I had a muscle problem in my leg, and he waited for us! And gave us time to rest!

Wonderful experience... - Wonderful experience thanks to Gur Kan who was our guide for the day. Enjoyed the history and the unique insights that helped us bring history to life.

The best one day private tour available to see Istanbul - Seckin was a fabulous guide and we learned so much. We did the one day private tour and saw all the top historical items in istanbul. Our experience was fabulous and I would highly recommend this company and definitely Seckin as your tourist guide if he is available.

Good Tour - It was a very private tour. I get to see what I needled to see. The tour guy was knowledgeable and friendly.

Fabulous 1 Day Sightseeing Tour - Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace - We had an amazing day with our guide (Seçkin Demirok) and his driver they picked up four of us from our hotel and took us sightseeing to Hagia Sophia, topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque and the Vasilica Cistern. Seçkin is a very knowledge, professional and excellent tour guide, he ensure we could all keep up as it was a full day of walking. It was great to have a small group so we could ask questions and discuss the history of Istanbul. He took us to lunch at Deraliye Terrace, that had a panoramic view (photo attached). Highly recommend the tour, but especially our guide. Thank you again for an amazing time!

Istanbul Jewel - The whole trip was excellent, our guide Gurdahan was very knowledgable, going to great lengths to explain all the various locations we visited,highly recommend this excursion not to be missed.

Excellent tour - The tour was everything we expected and more. We got picked up from our hotel in a spacious van and then embarked on the main tour. Our guide Engin was knowledgeable and friendly and he organized our day to perfection to make sure we minimize waiting in long lines and maximize our time. He had great commentary and spoke fluent English. He gave us tips for lunch and for the rest of our stay in Istanbul. While we were left alone to wander around a couple of times it was actually good because sometimes you don’t need constant commentary and it’s good to just wander and absorb the sights on your own. I highly recommend this tour.

Viator Needs to Remove this Vendor! - The tour guide was very personable and the tour started great with a hotel pickup. During our drive to the old city, he was a wealth of information, and we were given water as we departed the van at Blue Mosque. Unfortunately, this was where the positive experience ended. Our guide advised us that we wouldn’t be able to enter Hagia Sofia until after 2pm. We were fine with that and advised him that we were happy to view in the afternoon. Not only did not take us to see Hagia Sofia, but we only viewed the Blue Mosque from the outside as well. We were also not taken to the cisterns either. I brought up this up multiple times to which the guide deflected or changed the subject every time. The only place we did have entrance to was the palace. The guide of the palace and the pieces that we did see were amazing. After an extremely long lunch, we were taken today view a rug shop and to be shown how Turkish rugs were made. The initial part was very interesting, however this quickly turned into a high pressure sales in which we were kept for hours, wasting our day. We finally bought a rug to be able to leave. We were then taken to the world bazaar, where we were taken to a “secret” shop that was “frequented by celebrities such as Dr. Oz”, again the same thing as the rug shop. I was so upset not to be able to see 80% of what we paid to see on this tour. It was evident that this is only a mechanism for tourists to be pulled into shops rather than a tour as advertised. I would highly encourage Viator from banning this vendor! Stay Away!!
