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.

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.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable on the subjects. He was also very nice. He also interacted well with my two 11-year-old girls.

We very much enjoyed the tour and our guide was very informative. We were rushed in some places, but that was only because a couple held us up, which wasted time. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Very nice tour, recommend everybody to do this tour, the tour guide was a bit boring and kept repeating things like what Muslims do before they pray. But it all in all it was a good tour.

Our guide was great and was on time, unfortunately a couple of people held us up and we were rushed at the end. Not the fault of the tour operator. Same tour as the ship, 1/2 the price. I would use them again.
