Wonderful day We had the best day in Istanbul, all thanks to our wonderful guide Beyhan. We were able to see a lot in just a few hours and cannot wait to come back! Beyhan was able to work with our requests to see certain sites and skip others and she even took us to a restaurant for lunch! The only thing to note is that the driver on the way back to the airport drove a bit too fast, so that can be improved upon. But the tour itself was phenomenal and I would highly recommend it if you have a layover in Istanbul.

Wonderful day in Istanbul This was my second experience with this company. Beyhan was such a lovely tour guide. Sweet, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I had a great time at Hagia Sophia, both Bazaars, loved the Bosphorus ferry ride and experiencing the city on both sides. Very happy with pick up and drop off at the airport. Highly recommend.

After purchasing, the tour operator contacted me right away via Whatsapp. The pickup at the airport was quick and efficient. I was dropped off and met by my guide at the city center for the walking tour. Omar was excellent, with a wealth of knowledge of history of Istanbul. Overall a great experience and definitely recommend.
