Terrific and easy way to see all the highlights in one day. Especially for cruise passengers. Our guide was so knowledgeable, pointed out things we would never have known on our own, explained the history and context behind everything we saw.
Fantastic

This was an amazing experience. We chose the middle option (just transfers at beginning and end) and were able to see twice as many sites than if we had done it in our own! Sabit Kara was so knowledgeable and flexible. We were also able to add on a rug store visit and tile shop. Lunch was coal fired Turkish style pita/pizza. Really recommend.
Highly recommended!

Great tour with a great guide. We got to see major sites across old city Turkey. Kemal, our guide, was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He gave us wonderful tips for our stay in the city and would recommend to anyone looking explore the vast history of Istanbul.

Fettah was an excellent guide and we greatly enjoyed our day with him learning about the wonders of Istanbul. I had been 2 times before but never had a guide before - it was well worth the cost - we were able to learn and see a lot more because of Fettah and we enjoyed our limited time so much more with the guided tour experience.
