    The tour guide did a good job, but if he had audio and head phones, it would have been much better.

    Picked us up at hotel..Good guide..Wonderful lunch and more sights seen than my previous tour years ago. Only problem, a couple of members of our group stayed way too long in the spice bazaar.. Carol and Anne-Marie Lindstedt

    Plusses and minuses… Istanbul is a very old city and walking conditions are rough… lots of stairs, and broken tiles. It was very hard to keep up with the leader, and once we caught up with her and the rest of the group… she would move on right away. This despite being made aware that we were having trouble. The included parts of the tour were the usual high points, and our guide was very knowledgable and informative. The included lunch was delicious and in a nice restaurant with lots of stairs, of course! I was very disappointed to be forced into another carpet sales shop and we were a captive audience. We paid for the tour and not a strong-arm commercial message.

    I really enjoyed this day and found it interesting and informative. I would have preferred to know in advance how much walking was involved.

  5. Alan R

    An enjoyable day to visit all the main attractions guide was very knowledgeable.

  6. Arthur W

    Guide was most helpful under adverse weather conditions and, in general, did an excellent job.

  7. Stephan K B

    So disappointed. Entire group agreed and advised guide our prime interest was the Blue Mosque. We didn’t see it! Also didn’t see the last ruin, he advised it just wasn’t worth it. Lines very long at palace, and our advance tickets did nothing. He stopped every time anyone wanted a potty break,

    This tour could have been more enjoyable, if the tour guide was more attentive.

    Our tour guide was good and very knowledgeable with cleared explanation. The only comment I like to put was taken too long at the carpet demonstration ended up not enough time at the Great
    Bazaar, we only stopped at the Turkish delight candy store, everywhere else was just fast pasted passing through.

    The pick up from the port was simple. Ugur, our tour guide was a lovely young man who bent over backwards to make our tour exceptional. He included a visit to the Cisterns because we would not get to the Grand Bazaar as we needed to make it back to the ship on time. He also made sure we were picked up by one of their staff in plenty of time. Love Istanbul and the people were so lovely too.

    Wonderful tour. Omar was very professional and knowledgeable. He was aware when we needed a break. The sites were wonderful. I found the sites to be peaceful and inspiring.

  12. Tapan C

    A neat way to cover the highlights of the city in a short time. The guide expertly took us through the city through various attractions avoiding the famous traffic jam. The only downside was that she allotted too much time in a obligatory carpet shop. We negotiated a shorter time there and visited a market instead.

    This was a great tour. The guide met us at the ship and took us to all the highlights of Istanbul. He was very informative and was attentive to our questions and comfort. Lunch was nice and included. The grand bazaar was crowded and somewhat overwhelming but the items we bought were much cheaper there.

    The places we went to were amazing, however, he was not a good tour guide, we had a couple with a pacemaker and he would just continue to walk without even looking back to see were the group was. He just kept on walking!!!! No consideration…. He dropped us off not the same place as pick up, and he was just counting the tips given, Horrible customer service!!!!!

  16. CliffordEarl_P

    Excellent Tour Guide and Excellent driver for our private tour !! Outstanding experience with professional driver and knowledgeable tour Guide !! Thanks for a great day!!

    Although the morning half of the tour to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, etc. went ok and the lunch arrangement was excellent, the afternoon half to visit the Grand Bazaar was a disaster. During the Grand Bazaar tour, we were led to attend sales pitches in 5 different shops and didn’t have a chance to walk around the Grand Bazaar at all. Although the shop owners were okay, we simply were not interested in their merchandise, and felt that the whole time spent at the Grand Bazaar was a waste. Our tour guide was actually okay as she was flexible and guided us through the Blue Mosque, etc. smoothly. I would just not recommend this tour due to the multiple sales pitches included in the itinerary.

  18. Donna_M

    Gurkan was a wonderful, knowledgeable tour guide! Our full day included all the highlights of Istanbul – Topkapi Palace, The Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome, and Hagia Sophia, with lunch on a rooftop terrace.

  19. Sandra_B

    The quality of the Guide who was very knowledgable without being over facing.
    Berry also took into account we were an older couple and looked after us.
    We highly recommend her

    Ten Stars!!! Our private guided tour with Berrin was one of the best tours we have had in many years. Her knowledge of the country, th conquering nations form the past, the sultans as well as buildings and their content as well as sharing her culture made our day in Istanbul. We were able to see the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and all its treasures, Grand Bazaar and so much more. Our tour included lunch, and knowing we preferred local cuisine, Berrin took us to a quaint local restaurant where we sampled various meat and vegetable dishes as well as freshly prepared lemonade and Turkish coffee. Berrin’s kindness made it feel like we spent a memorable day with a friend. Our one day in Istanbul will never be forgotten!
