Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
hi there.we had our half day city tour organised by Private tour, our guide Mr. Serkan was fabulous with his services. he gave us indepth information about all the sights, was very jovial all the time and was very clear with his instructions about the do’s and don’ts.
He had clear knowledge about each and every monument and its meaning and history. also he gave us lots of time to explore and for photos as well. Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque was definitely worth seeing
It was an excellent time for us. I cannot describe how beautiful places. It was all ok. We enjoyed our time very much. I would like to thank everybody for providing this nice service to us. I will recommend everybody to do that.
Thanks to Private Tours Turkey for making my Turkey trip memorable..Professional tour guides, on-tour assistance, hassle-free travel.. Thanks all
Very good trip, well organised and informative. Guide spoke excellent English..When you see the Hagia Sophia , you can understand that you are in Istanbul..It was amazng.
The Grand bazaar is exactly what I imagined a Turkish market to be! Bustling with locals and tourists, haggling with shop keepers, great turkish housewares, Turkish delight etc. For those who are tired and need a rest and light bite there are small cafés, diners dotted between the shops. Take a big bag because you will not come away empty…
Hippodrome is next to the Blue Mosque there are several little sights here. 3 snakes, german fountain, obelisk etc.
We were only in Istanbul for one day, but thanks to the excellent work of our tour guide Taylan our party of eight was able to get a real taste of the city. Can’t wait to go back and spend more time in this fascinating place.
We had a fantastic time and would love to go back to Istanbul to explore more.
Hagia Sophia is just simply beautiful… all the way around. The architecture and all its history. Also, it is very easy to find as it is within a very short walking distance from almost every hotel near the center of the city. I most definitely recommend it.
Una noche turca en istanbul es ideal para completar el tour privado fue todo jermoso gracias
