We had a busy day, visiting all the promised sites , except Topkapi which is closed on Tuesdays. Sel (Selcuk) was extremely knowledgeable, with great historical knowledge and very experienced as a guide. We had a pleasant simple lunch close to the Grand Bazaar, which we enjoyed. We were given several shopping opportunities, which, with hindsight, consumed a lot of time. I recommend this tour operator, and Selcuk as a guide.

I had an amazing full day private Istanbul guided tour with my friends. Our knowledgeable guide took us to iconic sites like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, and Topkapi Palace, where we immersed ourselves in culture and history. Our tour was well-planned, including a visit to the Hippodrome. We also enjoyed shopping for Turkish art. Highly recommend this tour for a memorable experience!
