My guide, Ozge, was very knowledgeable about Istanbul’s history. Thanks to her, I was able to see my must-see spots without any hassle cause she knows the ins and outs of getting into the tourist spots, where the best views are, and what to look for. She also gave me some local recommendations as to where to shop and where to eat

Great tour! The tour guide (Muhammad) was very funny and was passionate about his history. There was enough time for photos and a break during the tour.

I had a great tour with Real Istanbul Tours, competently led by Oz Me (apologize if I have misspelled her name). We were promptly met at the designated location and started our tour with the Blue Mosque. Our guide led us to a side entrance for groups where were quickly ushered in and given an informative tour of the mosque. We eventually made our way to the Basilica Cistern, where were again quickly led in through the group entrance without having to wait in the long line for individual visitors. The cistern was quite stunning. We also visited Hagia Sophia, where again we had quick access and a great exploration and narration of the interior. I would definitely book again.
