This was the best way to get acquainted with Istanbul! Our guide was especially well informed, offered superb insights and even arranged a tour of a rug factory for us. Excellent choice.

It was my wife and myself and we enjoyed this so much. The transportation was perfect, the lunch was in a very nice place in Topcapi and the guide was really great and professional, so yes I would sure recommend this service.

Our guided met us promptly at our hotel. As we were the only ones on the tour that day, we really had a private tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and full of insights. He gave us information and insights not only on history, but of current Turkey as well. Also gave us tips on sights to see on our own. Excellent value and experience. Would do again.

Our tour guide was outstanding. Very informative and always steering us around to strategically avoid huge lines. I booked this tour instead of our Princess Cruise shore trip and saved 200 plus and we ended up in an air conditioned mini van with only 5 other passengers - will recommend to everyone.

We have cruised for over twenty five years, taking many tours. The Istanbul tour offered by Viator has to be rated among the best. The guide was knowledgeable, informative, insightful and very patient. The total package was value packed as it included transportation, entry fees and a wonderful meal. The best!

If you don't have time to do any other tours, this is most definitely the one not to miss!!! Our guide was superb, and instead of the Grand Bazaar we had a wonderful demonstration of Turkish Carpets. The history contained in this tour, from Byzantine, Ottoman, etc. is beyond description.

The day tour was great! It's a good way to cover the nice places in Istanbul if you don't have much time.

We had a great time roaming the streets of Istanbul with an experienced and knowledgeable guide. He was also helpful for those who were traveling solo and wanted to get a picture taken of themselves.

Overall very good, but there was a stop at a carpet shop with pressure to buy. This wasted time that could have been spent elsewhere.

The trip was worthwhile, the tour guide was nice and knowledgeable, and the lunch was fantastic. I would have rated this trip as 4 stars except for the bus driver, who was extremely aggressive. He started by shouting at some passengers for being a few minutes late in the morning and deliberately started driving when me and my wife were about to get on the bus just to make the point that we were also late.
