The tour was good but Kenan Bay, the guide, was wonderful. We schedule a 9:30, Kenan texted the night before if we can leave early to beat the lines. We agreed and it was a smart decision. When we got there the line was huge. He had bought all of our tickets beforehand so we didn't have to wait in that ir any ticket lines which is separate from entrance line. He knows alot of people. He was able to move us up on all of the lines we had to wait for. This saved us hours of standing in lines on this day. Which was also good because it rained off and on all day. They only thing we didn't like 100% was when we stopped at the making of rugs/carpet. The demonstration was nice but they tried to sell the rugs afterwards. There was no pressure to buy but we felt uncomfortable saying no. The Bazzar was a nice treat. We bought a few items there. This was a private tour. Kenan Bay will take you to the sites you want to see not just the ones on the list. My wife wanted to see them making tiles. That was nice and we bought a couple things there. Our guide even set us up to watch a dancing show. He made us reservation for later that night. You can't go wrong with Guide Kenan Bay. Tea Surgar Dream, Rob Bay

We enjoyed an educational 4 hours with Aydin visiting the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Mosque, Hippodrome and The Basilica Cistern. Aydin was enthusiastic, entertaining and charming. It was apparent that he enjoyed sharing the history of his country with us. We enjoyed learning! It was a perfectly sunning day, too. Don’t hesitate to book this tour.

Blue Mosque. Disappointed that the guide didn't provide us with listening devices. It was small group but very hard to hear what she was saying. Felt like we missed a lot of the information. Some in group felt railroaded into restaurant for lunch. Guide seemed knowledgeable but because had to hear we missed alot

Gleaned an enormous amount of historical facts from the guide who is obviously very well versed as to the sites we visited

Incredible private day tour in Istanbul, Specially thanks tonour chic and trendy tour guide. My daughter (19 years old) and I loved her way of briefing Turkish history, she knew very well every detail. She also took us to have an incredible lunch and a taste of Turkish coffee . Excellent day at Istanbul with Billura….. we want to go back

Our tour guide, Kenan, was extremely informative, great conversations, provided detailed information; was great about getting us into the different sites without waiting too long.

A very enjoyable day with an experienced guide (Hero). Hotel pickup /drop off made things easy and lots to see including Blue Mosque, palace, cistern, Grand Bazaar. Tour does not include entry ticket cost to Palace 1500 TL and 800 for Cistern. Both were worth seeing (particularly the Palace).

We were a group of 18 adults. Our guide was Musa. Turkey was insanely crowded and although Musa was very knowledgeable, for such a large group, we really needed headsets and a flag to find him. Not all of our group could hear all of the information he was saying and we lost him a few times in the crowds. This tour would be best with small groups. We were separated a few times and that was a little unnerving. We loved the Grand Bizarre and the shop he took us to. We felt like we could trust this vendor.

Our excellent guide, Kenan, customized the tour to meet our needs. He was very knowledgeable and his command of English was fantastic. He was also able to leap the line at one of the sites saving us at least 20 minutes.

Brilliant experience seen everything we wanted to and our guide tailored our tour to suit us. No time limits set on any location or for lunch break either. Our guide Muca ( sorry if not correct spelling) was absolutely fantastic his knowledge was extraordinary. He made a great recommendation for lunch also. If you have limited time in the city this is the tour to do if we had tried to do the city on our own we would have never seen a fraction let alone entered any of the sites.

This tour was excellent our tour guide was very knowledgeable and considerate. She went out of her way to make our tour fuss free. I totally recommend this tour.

I was a great experience overall. From the prompt pick up at the hotel to Hasan, the tour guide, to the places we visited and the drop-off back at the hotel. Well curated tour visiting all the famous landmarks and Hasan was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Great tour!

We had the most lovely experience on our tour yesterday with Burak. He truly was the best guide we could have asked for and are so glad we decided to book with him! I couldn’t recommend this experience enough! Burak knew so much about the history and went into great detail about each place we visited that we would not have known otherwise. We were able to skip the lines and he took us to the best restaurant, shops and took some beautiful photos of us! Thank you so much Burak, this has been the highlight of our trip and we will be able come home with lots of positive memories from this day!

Warm and knowledgeable guide , very patient as we had kids along with us , who needed a lot of breaks

Really good tour if all the key sites. Very knowledgeable guide helped to negotiate what we wanted to see in a very busy day.

Our tour guide, Billura, was a highlight of this experience as she introduced us to Topkapi Palace, the “Blue Mosque,” the Grand Bazaar and parts of Istanbul Old Town — all of which had their own magic appeal! Billura brought to life the history of each location & explained how each had evolved over the centuries. Billura’s insights and warm personality made her a “friend” by the end of the day, and left us wanting to spend more time with her as well as wanting to know more about Istanbul itself. What a wonderful but exhausting day!

Unfortunately I don't remember the name of my guide but she was great. Very informative and knew extensive history on the areas we visited. The greay thing about personal tour was being able to change plans. Some of the sites were very busy we changed the order and it all worked out great. You get to see a lot of beautiful and historic buildings packed with art and unique architecture. Great way to get a grasp of the area. The guide was also very helpful with tips and other places to visit. Highly recommend

Wonderful day. Despite some attraction closers. We walked 14,000 steps and didn’t even notice. Fun and so interesting

Had a wonderful guide. Saw lots & enjoyed every minute. Istanbul was great & do much to learn & see.

Belgin was great! Would not try to do these tours alone, would have been confusing and VERY long lines for tickets. All cites were Istanbul must sees for sure!
