Would recommend to anyone. Excellent in every aspect except would request NOT to go to their rug merchant (who was nice) who wanted to sell us a rug (took close to one hour to politely get away).

We enjoyed what we saw very much. Our Neon guide Sezen was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and the driver was very good. The lunch at Topkapi Palace was good. Our only disappointment was that the tour ended at 3pm and we thought that it was to end at 5pm.

Guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English well. We enjoyed the tour. Keeping the group small allowed us to hear everything the guide had to say.

The 4 of us really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Mr Omar was very knowledgeable, polite, and flexible. The major sights are very popular/packed with larger tour groups, Being on a small private tour was of great advantage. Only negative point, was one stop at a " carpet making demonstration" which turned out to be a front for Carpet sales pitch. Overall however a good experience, and recommended.

First of all i am Yvonne Cotton, not Morag H! We ahd a good private tour , my elderly mother was well cared for by the pleasant young and respectful guide. We went at oir own pace and saw every thing , if i could have made a suggestion to better this it would be that the vehicle was a saloon car and not a minibus as it took up a lot of space on the rad for only two people. Otherwise although not cheap for a day tour it was very good

Guide was very good and her English excellent. The Grand Bazaar was closed which we knew about in advance. We substituted the Dolmebache Palace which may be what the tour should use as a suggestion.

Excellent guide, excellent tour. Stay in the old city for a real taste of history. Only watch out is to confirm that you are on a private tour--we booked one, but were linked with a lovely trio from Saskatchewan, Canada. Many thanks to Viator for our speedy refund!

Tour was fine, I wish our guide had spoken a little bit better English but he was very prepared. It was worth doing and we had a little flexibility in what we did and the time we spent at the sights.

Watch out for the carpet salesmen that were given a free pass at the end of the tour to prey on unsuspecting tourists from the group. Not sure whether this was something the guide cooked up or the agency but it was also obvious money was changing hands.

Having a private guide was great. I highly recommend it for cities such as Istanbul, where there is much to see and loads of historical information. We were able to ask all of our questions as well as spend more time in areas where we were interested and less in those that were not a priority for our personal agenda. Having the driver waiting nearby was excellent in a city where traffic is comparable to Los Angeles.

It was very interesting and worthwhile, but we did not appreciate the 'hard sell' tactics at the carpet store and Grand Bazaar.

3 star rating: Worth doing

The tour was good and guide was perfect but for this quality it was quite expensive
