Our tour guide was very knowledgable and informative. The tour itself is pretty full on, but well worth it as you get some excellent insight into Istanbul. Highly recommend it! :)

Super tour and introduction to the most famous sites in Istanbul, plus the guide and driver were helpful and adaptable in maneuvering around some of Istanbul's worst traffic. The tour group in the van was diverse in countries represented and a good time was had by all through the day and over the delicious Turkish meal at lunch time. The guide gave us options throughout the day so that people could go through some sites with him, have some time on their own, and meet together to journey to the next destination.

Our guide was fantastic. He can be considered a walking historian. The best thing is we skip the line when we visited the underground cistern ( or else we had to wait at least 1 hour due to the queque). Enough time to venture at all places and most importantly, they were punctual when they pick us up at the hotel.

Doing what: Istanbul Small-Group Walking Tour: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar
This was probably the best tour of the ones I did on my trip to Istanbul and Athens. Our tour guide was beyond friendly and excited about showing us all of the cool sites that we were going to see in our full day. The small group walking tour was great because it was limited to a certain number of people so it was easier to follow and listen to our guide with no problems at all. We got to see and tour the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar and the Topkapi Palace. The tour also included lunch at a great restaurant in the middle of the day. Our guide was very friendly and very gracious and warm with all of our questions and observations on the trip, even helping to take photos for people who wanted to remember the amazing sites that we were visiting. I have done a number of Viator tours and this one was probably the best one because the guide was so great. She really had a great deal of knowledge to past and when I even brought up a story that another guide had mentioned, she didn't shoot my story down but rather seemed genuinely interested in learning this new information and excited to research it as she might have learned something new herself. I would say that if you go to Istanbul you absolutely must do this tour because it covers four of the most visited sites in Istanbul in great detail and its so helpful to have someone showing you around and explaining what it is you are looking at, especially in the Topkapi Palace which has so many parts and rooms and things to look at. I would highly recommend this tour and hopefully you end up with the great tour guide that we had.

Had excellent tour guide TIbet. Totally passionate in her job. Incredible knowledge of all the sites. Needed less time in carpet shop and more in Bazaar. But the three main sites were spectacular and her knowledge and details made the tour very good.

The transportation pick-up was on time and courteous. The Tour guide that we had was very knowledgeable of all the places that we visited. We have enough time to look around our selves and take pictures. It was an excellent and enjoyable tour. I would be glad to recommend VIATOR to my friends when an opportunity comes up.

Very good tour, which was booked at the last minute. The pace was just right and the content was informative without being overbearing. The guide spoke excellent English and she tweaked the agenda to suit the group. We all agreed to skip the grand bizaar in order to spend some time at the cistern basilica. Lunch was also very good. Much better than the normal expectation for a tour so all in I would and have recommended bith the guide and the tour to collegues travelling to Istanbul.

Excellent tour. Totally worth it. Suggest not taking this tour on Monday's as Hagia Sofia is closed on that day. Even without that it was totally worth it. Omar the guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and extremely professional. Would highly recommend the tour.

Had a ball eating and getting the history of food. I have been to Rome multiple times, so this was a fun, different, and interesting tour to do. Luna and Giacomo were great. Grazie :)

I would recommend the full day tour, but we only had a half day available. Good tour guide and interesting tour. Suggest you copy what is on tour (its not on the voucher), as our tour guide would have left out the Roman Cisterns (which was a highlight), if I had not reminded her.

We bought this tour because we had little time and wanted to see everything with a bit of background and history, so we can appreciate what we were seeing. This tour did just that. Since there are so many places to visit there is not much time to just relax, sit and appreciate each site, but it does allow you to see all the exhibits, take photos and then make your way to the next site via a brief walk or on the nice shuttle. Our guide, Tibet, was very professional, knowledgable and kind. So if you want to see everything in one day in a quality tour, this is your best bet. But if you want to take your time to explore, meander, take lots of photos and relax at each site, this is not your tour.
