“Our guide met us right when we left the cruise port and our driver got us to the historic center very quickly. Our Guide was quite knowledgeable about the sites, answered all of our questions and was highly attentive. She pointed out every bump and curb so we didn't fall which was easy to do as you are always looking up at the amazing sites. I highly recommend a private tour like this versus what the cruise ship offers (cattle car format). The personal attention is worth a couple extra dollars.”

“Over the top service and communication. I loved that they sent me a What's App text before I even left the states. They even sent me a walking video of the airport to where to meet them, since drivers are not allowed to wait at the terminal. My private airport car was gorgeous and my driver was very accommodating! I would use and recommend them 10 out of 10.”

“We had a great tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. I liked that he stuck with the itinerary we chose...while politely dealing with the other couple that wanted to change all of the stops. I feel we had a great overview of this amazing city.”

“The pick up from the port was simple. Ugur, our tour guide was a lovely young man who bent over backwards to make our tour exceptional. He included a visit to the Cisterns because we would not get to the Grand Bazaar as we needed to make it back to the ship on time. He also made sure we were picked up by one of their staff in plenty of time. Love Istanbul and the people were so lovely too.”

“Wonderful way to experience Istanbul. Sancar our guide was knowledgeable and we always had skip the line tickets. Our experience was about 7 hrs but the ship schedule limited the number of places we could go during open hours. Sancar was altra patient with all of our questions. He is a very talented guide and we would not hesitate to request him again. He helped us to some of the best stores in the Grand Bazaar. We bartered for our finds successfully which was also great fun.”

“Lovely guide who made our tour very personalized allowing us to spend time wisely at each part of the tour. Would use this tour again.”

“Great communication. Polite driver and clean car. I would definitely recommend this service. Thank you”

“Nice vehicle, on time, great driver. Quickly to our hotel without issue.”

“Really enjoyed our tour of the Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, hippodrome and Grand Bazaar. Our guide was even kind enough to take us by the Spice Market as well. Highly recommend. It was a great experience.”

“When I reached out to the driver via App letting him know the time for us changed I never got a response. I called Viator several times and they could not reach the driver either. I did not know Viator contracts drivers for the transports. When me and my group got off the ship there was no driver and I could not get in touch with anyone regarding the transport. We all had to take cabs and added expense to get to the airport. Once I got to the airport the driving reached out and stated my time was 12pm, which was the original time, and I explained to him…”

“Our cruise arrived at the port, we departed the ship, and met our guide Elif, at the designated area. Elif asked when we needed to be back on the ship and what we wanted to see. We had a tight schedule and Elif made sure we got to experience as much as we could within the allotted timeframe. We were able to experience the history and culture of the area. Elif is very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. She even shared some of the local areas that are not overrun by tourist. It was truly a great experience and we highly recommend Elif!”

“do not join this excursion!! its a rip off!! the guide just picked us up with the driver and left us. the restaurant was old and dark inside. everything was super unorganized, there were only one server and one helper taking care of at least 30 people in each section. there were at least 15 minute wait in-between each courses and the food tasted awful!!! all courses combined, was worth probably less than 10 dollars. the server was super rude and ignored what we had to say plus we couldn't get hold of him most of the time because he was too busy bringing food out or hiding in the…”

“The transfer to the cruise port was perfect. could not have been better.”

“Very nice morning tour. Picked up on time with a small group. Almost like a private tour. Nice cruise on the Bosphorous and a good trip to the Egyptian spice market. Would highly recommend.”

“Bose, our tour guide was a very friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide. She provided a very comfortable and interesting tour of the mosques and the grand bazaar. I highly recommend Bose, it was a great experience!”
