The tour is excellent. The overall experience is very good starting by the confirmation process until the drop-off.

It covers the essential Istambul attractions. The guide Recip was very knowledgeable and friendly.
The transportation was comfortable and the driver is very efficient and helpful.

I totally recommend the tour as a great introduction to Istambul`s historical center.

Semih was incredible! He was so accommodating and knowledgeable and was also a great photographer. He knew all the best places to shop and allowed me to decide on what I wanted to prioritize. I appreciate all of his help and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone visiting Istanbul. Thanks Semih!

I had a great tour with Semih. He was incredibly knowledgeable, personable and intelligent. Due to the pandemic and low tourism, I had a private tour essentially. Semih catered the tour to what I wanted to see at my pace and I was able to see what I wanted. He met me at my hotel early which was near the sights and we ended with good food. Highly recommend Semih
