We booked this one-day tour to have a first and quick view of the most important places of historical and artistic interest in Istanbul, to then deepen the visits more calmly. I have to say that it worked and the guide was good, kind and very helpful. Too bad that the Blue Mosque was closed for renovation and that in its place we were shown another uninteresting mosque. Perhaps a more significant alternative destination could have been chosen. The thing we didn't really like was the second part of the visit, after lunch. We went from an obligatory "visit" of ceramics, carpets and other shops where we had to attend demonstrations of the various productions, rather embarrassing for us, since there were only four of us and nobody had any intention of buying. this was the only drawback of the visit, because these moments were embarrassing both for us and for the shopkeepers who were disappointed.

John, Jordan and I (Monina) enjoyed the entire day with Hakan! He is so knowledgeable and taught us so much about the rich history of Turkey ! We were so impressed that the time went by so quickly! Thank you Hakan! We will definitely recommend his tour to our friends

Excellent option for travelers with little time.

The tour is very interesting. The guide fully demonstrated his knowledge of the places visited. Better communication is required between the Tour operator and the traveler about the time they are picked up at the hotels in the central area to avoid misunderstandings. They never communicated with me until the moment the guide was looking for me at the hotel.
