Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
We came to Istanbul on a cruise and unfortunately only had two days there. This tour was perfect for our needs and gave us a wonderful introduction to a great city. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. All in all we would certainly recommend this tour.
We had a great time during istanbul tour. We were very pleased with the services offered, thank you for making the arrangements and helping to make our trip a great and memorable success. Thank you Sadik and everyone in Private Tour. We will definately be returning to Turkey and will call you once we do.
The guide was extremely knowledgeable, a pleasure to travel with and spoke prefect English. I highly recommend this service for anyone who wants a self guided tour of Istanbul.
Full day tour has a reasonably priced ticket for seeing the highlights of the city. They provide earphones with a recorded travelogue in multiple languages that corresponds to places on the map, which they also provide. It is a comfortable way to get an overview of what is available to see and get better acquainted with this beautiful city.
I recommend doing this, not only if your time is limited, but also to see more than the basic tourist sites.
My wife and I visited Istanbul recently during a cruise. We decided on Private Tours after reading the many excellent reviews. We were met at the cruise terminal by a gentle driver a who drove us around to the many sites of Istanbul and were taken to a restaurant recommended by the guide for an awesome Turkish lunch. the guide was very knowledgeable and most importantly we were allowed to bypass the long lines at the main sites which really allowed maximum time utilization for such a relatively short trip. During our last part of the trip we visited the Grand Bazaar and it was very beneficial having our guide with us for price negotiations with the venders. We were transported back to the terminal in a timely manner. I highly recommend this company.
We had three days in Istanbul. With our private guide, we had a lovely time in Istanbul during a day..Thank you for a very enjoyable and informative tour of your amazing city. It is something we will remember for the rest of our lives and we thank you for the knowledge, history and culture that you shared with us.
We arranged for the Private Tour.Our guide was a very knowledgeable, experienced one. We visitied all the major highlights of Istanbul, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and he was very enlightening with their history. We very much enjoyed the day.
Very good tour, very interesting city, lunch was very good…
Istanbul visit is incomplete without the visit to Grand Bazar. The roof shows beautiful colourful Islamic art.
The Blue Mosque (Called Sultanahmet Camii in Turkish) is an historical mosque in Istanbul. The mosque is known as the Blue Mosque because of blue tiles surrounding the walls of interior design. Mosque was built between 1609 and 1616 years, during the rule of Ahmed I. just like many other mosques.
