Gülşen is a wonderful guide. Not only is her knowledge of the historic sites comprehensive but the way that she tells their story brings their history to life. She is also a friendly and caring person who looks after those in her charge and accommodates the tour to their needs. I went on this tour on my first day in the city and couldn’t have asked for a better introduction and welcome. I had a fabulous day seeing the sights of Istanbul with this amazing lady.
Great way to explore the historical sites of Istanbul

We booked a 7 hr tour through GetYourGuide for Blue Mosque/Hagia Sophia/Topkapi Palace/Grand Bazaar. Because it was a personal tour it was only my husband and me in the group. Kenan (Ken) was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and great company for the day. He told us about the history and also about modern day Turkey. Skip the Line was especially helpful as we didn't have to stand in the sun for very long. The only down side was that I hadn't realised we had to book tickets and that increased the price of the tour. The whole day was well worth the cost.
Guide was pleasant and...

Cicek (her name means flower) guided my son and me on a wonderful one day introduction to Istanbul. We really appreciated the balance of information, history and insight into current and past Turkish life. Really appreciated the advice on getting around – she introduced us to the Istanbul card and the tram system which we used a lot in the following two days. We would really recommend her and the tour.
