5.00A great tour to explore the key sights of Istanbul! The Russian-speaking guide made the tour comfortable and informative: Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar were remembered for their vivid stories and detailed narration. A separate plus is the organization: transfer, logistics and tips on local cafes helped save time and effort. The guide not only delved deeply into the history, but also adapted the information for Russian-speaking guests. I recommend it to those who want to feel the spirit of the city in one day without a language barrier. My impressions were the warmest!

5.00A company providing guides. We had a girlfriend and a Russian-speaking Turkish trainee, which was very adorable. Turk used to work on excavations and told and showed special things!! That's why we all cried to him with our mouths open. The tour is 17 km away, but no one noticed those km. Visited mosques: Sulemania, Sophia, the cathedral on the other side of the Bosphorus. A very rich tour
Excellent tour to start exploring Istanbul

5.00Lots of interesting information, beautiful views of the city. Despite the extensive program and long route, everything is very logical and understandable. Very sympathetic guide Elena not only introduced the stories of the city, but also gave practical recommendations - what else to see how best to get to interesting sights.
Good introduction to Istanbul

5.00We were on a walking tour with Elena on 11.03.21. We were very pleased and more. A friendly guide is always available to answer your questions. Thought we'd get tired, but no pace very comfortable. The tour includes lunch, which enjoyed everything was delicious. It is also important that Lena gives practical information on Istanbul, where to buy, where and what to eat, etc. The tour left the most pleasant experience of itself.
