“We spent the entire day with Mr. Baris, an extremely knowledgeable guide. He shared a great deal of history with us and he was willing and able to thoroughly answer questions. We visited the major attractions during our tour. Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. It was a small group of people on the tour which made it so pleasant. A very good day.”

“A nice tour to spend a day moving between islands. We visited 3 Islands and had a small tour of each island and also some free time on the biggest island.

Istanbul Heritage Tour with hotel pickup, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, Hagia Irene, lunch, and tickets, in a small group.
“The tour itself was good but the guide was the worst guide we have ever had. He was not interested to walk with us on the tour and at times ( mostly ) was 50 metres ahead. He mainly only spoke to us when we were inside a mosque. He also had an argument with another person on our tour and literally screaming inside the lunch restaurant....which , by the way was good. People were left behind or ended up lost because he had no care. I would NOT RECOMMEND this company unless they ditched the guide !!”
Bosphorus cruise with Dolmabahçe, fortresses and bridges, plus Beylerbeyi, Çamlıca and Pierre Loti cable car, breakfast and lunch.
“A varied and interesting day led by an excellent guide. An enjoyable boat trip up the Bosphorus with commentary was very informative. We had a tour of the Beylerbeyi Palace and then visited the new Camlica Mosque and had fantastic views over the city and Bosphorus. Lunch was back on the boat and very late at 3.30pm so take snacks with you. We didn't have the breakfast as we had already eaten. Views along the Golden Horn from Pierre Loti were amazing and the cable car added a bit of fun. All in all excellent value for money and excellent tour guides. The main criticism would be lateness of the…”
