An amazing tour guide and tour of Topkapi Palace. Truly, a great experience. A detailed explanations of the history of the time. Each aspect of the palace was explained clearly and in depth.I attended with my children 10 and 14 and it was at a level that they could both understand. Myself and my children have gained a much greater understanding of Turkish and Islamic history. The group size was perfect and the ear piece provided allowed the group to follow whilst listening to the guides detailed history of the Palace. I would definitely recommend the tour to other people I know and a guide really helped me understand the layout of the Palace better and the purpose of the different sections. I think without it I wouldn’t have understood the significance of the different areas in the palace.Thank you again

We had a limited time to complete this attraction due to illness during our stay so we chose this tour as it started early and would give us the knowledge of what we could do in our limited time available and it did this perfectly. The guide gave us an overview of the principal highlights of the Palace and then we could return at our own speed to the locations we saw fit in our time frame. To off missed this jewel would of been a sin so to of got the best experience we could get was a bonus. Thankyou for that, Money we'll spent.
