Traveler reviews
Day tour of Istanbul with Songul
My wife and did a walking tour with Songul. She was very knowledgeable and upbeat. We enjoyed the entire day with her in Istanbul. We saw Hagia Sophia, the Istanbul Spice Market, the Blue Mosque, and other sites. The tour was informative, the lunch was great, and the ride to the airport was flawless.
Amazing Istanbul tour
We had an amazing time with Ekrem , he used his excellent local know-how, brilliant historical knowledge and charismatic personality to guide us around the city. If you book this, you will not be disappointed. He was flexible to change to our needs if necessary but we relied on his wealth of experience to see an authentic Istanbul. Thank you so much for making our stay special!
Well worth the time!
Şebne was a great tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the major sites and the best ways to get around Istanbul. She was also very flexible in her approach to the tour and the order in which we visited the sites to ensure we maximised our time with her.
Wonderful Experience
We would highly recommend this tour and, in particular, our tour guide Songul. She was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Due to her experience she was able to maximize our time at each site while helping us avoid long lines and wait times. She answered all our questions and provided great insight into the life and culture of Istanbul beyond the sites of interest we visited.
A Day In Istanbul
We had a wonderful tour of Istanbul last week. Our guide, Numan was very informed and professional and helpful. We took a Bosporous cruise and Numan pointed all of the sites out to us. We enjoyed the Reservoir. What a unique structure! Lunch was at a local place in the old city that was so amazing. We had a “5 star” day and Numan was a big part of that
