I had the tour with Metin, who's an awesome tour guide and person. He spoke English very well, told me a lot about Istanbul and Turkey history. And after the tour he helped me to figure out transportation from the pier to my hotel. I highly recommend this tour company and, especially, Mitin 🤩🙏🏻

The Bosphorus Cruise is a must do in Istanbul. I purposely chose a cruise without dinner or a show and am very pleased with my choice. It was more affordable and I got to focus on my surroundings. Our guide Metin was very excited and passionate about his country and its history. I was a little stressed when he contacted me on the day of the cruise to move the time up by an hour, but when I told him I was already on another tour and could not come earlier, it was not a problem. He was just trying to make sure we didn't miss the sunset on the Bosphorus. He was very prompt and helpful.
