    What had a absolute great time touring with Cumhur for our two day tour. He was right on time for everything and definitely allowed us to change plans and accommodate as we saw fit. I highly recommend!

    Enver was a fabulous guide. Arrived early at our hotel but was chilled when we were running late and adapted the day to everything we most wanted to do. Skipping the long queues at the cistern was brilliant and our favourite location. Took us for a great lunch at the pudding shop and gave us a choice of places and was even giving us advice for the day after on our own. We learnt so much and he was great company as well as very knowledgeable.

    We had a great time. Our guide Serhat was very experienced and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He got us to every site easily and swiftly so we were never really waiting around. We were so glad that we made this decision as we would have been wandering around aimlessly trying to get from place to place without him. It would have taken us several days to do alone what he accomplished in just one day! He had a lot of insight that we wouldn’t have had any way of finding out otherwise. I would highly recommend doing this private tour. He made it all about our adventure and we didn’t have to wait around for others to move on. We also had a lot of fun and he found us special places for photo ops. This tour is a must and then another day you can just wander around the old city with all of your new found knowledge!

    Our guide Memet was absolutely brilliant, friendly, very knowledgeable.and informative . We had a fantastic day and got to enjoy all the sights without the rush . Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

    A day tour with our private guide, Gizem, is fun. Skip the line is awesome!! Driver and guide came to pick us up and drop us off at our hotel. Very convenient!

    The agency and then guide were prompt and clear communicating after we booked. The guide arrived on time. He started with some information about where we met him which was interesting. It went downhill from there. Our all day tour lasted 5.5 hours with us following him and trying to not lose him in crowds. He brought us to a few sights and provided very minimal information. I had to ask what buildings were or about the places we were. We read information signs to learn more. He spent quite a bit of our day taking us to carpet, leather, and other handicraft stores. He spent more time on his phone that talking to us. I went to the restroom and then waited for a while for him to return with no explanation from him. Lunch was ok but expensive for what we had. While walking thru the Grand Bazaar I stopped at one booth. He then asked me our plans for the following day and after I replied I was not sure, he said today is not for shopping – you can come back tomorrow to do that. We were very disappointed. We could have learned more by reading the signs at the few locations we went to. All the places were close to each other and we could have found them on our own. Our time would have been much better spent without our guide. Don’t waste your time or money with this tour guide.

    Gilsen was a wonderful guide. She is extremely knowledgeable about Istanbul and Turkish history and readily shared her expertise. She was also conscious to create exactly the tour we wanted and tailoring the experience to our preferences.

  8. Sanjeev_S

    Tour guide was knowledgeable but extremely disinterested in participating in the tour. Many times, he let us alone to explore. May have been with us maybe 50% of the tour. The rest of the time he sat alone while we waited on lines, etc. I saw other tour guides wait with clients and educating them during down times.
    The transportation was also a rip off. Basically paid the transportation upcharge for a round trip to old city and back to hotel. Tour guide tried to hustle us with a visit to a leather shop. Visibly got upset when we declined the visit. Also, drama at the end which related to the driver having to pay the hotel valet (asked us for money). Would not recommend.

    Mehmet was a delightful and knowledgeable guide. He tailored the day for us to get the most of all the attractions we wanted to see. And to add to our pleasant experience he escorted on the tram to Galataport to board our cruise ship.

    Great private tour for those short of time. Customised to my interests, said I wasn’t keen on shopping and so we looked through bazaar and market but didn’t get trapped in a shop. Idil was terrific at getting through or avoiding a queue. We only had to queue for the Hagia Sofia, elsewhere we even went through gates other tour operators weren’t using. Every minute not spent standing in a queue was worth the money for a private tour.

  11. JaneMarie_H

    Really good value if you want or need to pack as much into one day as possible. Tour was really informative, interesting and fun. Learnt loads and was able to go at our own pace and take plenty of photos too.

  12. Jennifer_G

    Our guide Cicak was excellent, knowledgeable and pleasant. Highlights were the cistern, mosque, cheese cake at Galata tower and the grand bazaar.

  13. Megan_S

    Fantastic experience! Thank you for a great tour! We enjoyed every part of our tour and highly recommend it

  14. Karinda_D

    The entire experience was amazing, we were able to hit multiple places in one day.
    Can’t wait to return one day.

  15. Felicia_O

    Our guide Cicek was wonderful , very knowledgable on the history of each site and we are able to skip all the queue to every site we visited. Had a pleasant time exploring the old city!

  16. Jill_W

    Mehmet was an incredible guide and we were grateful to have him with us for 2 days. His vast knowledge of the historical places and kind manner were second to none. Mehmet was able to create a unique itinerary for us that was perfect for our time here. He even arranged for his colleague to find and buy a Turkish flag – that my nephew wanted. He went above and beyond and I would recommend him and the company wholeheartedly!

  17. Shawn_G

    our guide was excellent and had many great places to see and places to eat
    Highly recommended tour and guide

  18. Priyanka_J

    We had an excellent guide. Mehmet our guide is very knowledgable and made our trip very enjoyable and informative. He was very considerate and customised our tour as per our interest and taste. The 2-day itinerary is just enough to see the best sites in Istanbul when you are travelling with family. Istanbul is a an amazing city with lots of hits, art and culture. The tour is just perfect for someone who wants to see all the lights in a comfortable and hassle free manner. Everything is taken care off. Best way to enjoy Istanbul….. We already want to come there in again.

  19. brenda_u

    We had a wonderful time the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. We recommend wearing very comfortable shoes throughout the the three days. We enjoyed the spice market and Grand Bazaar would suggest making a meeting spot so everyone can browse and shop as they like. Our guide was awesome and we would recommend Batuhan Bakir to anyone looking for a good tour guide.

  20. munshisabine
