Excellent option for a layover in Istanbul
Guide with good knowledge. On time, looking for what we must visit and as well, time permitting, what could be interested for us.
A great tour to visit all the major attractions
Our guide Caner was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our needs and interests. It was fantastic to have a fast pass service to visit the monuments, no need to stay in the long lines to enter. This is worth every penny.
A great day out, entertaining and enlightening!
Volkan was a great guide, very knowledgeable, passionate about the history of Turkey and Istanbul. We enjoyed talking to him about not just the history but the current situations and politics of the day. He was attentive but knew when to give us some time and was great at taking photos! He also added some local insights for us as we specifically asked for a few recommendations and they turned out great.
