This tour was a really nice experience. Our guide Ayse was really enthusiastic about Istanbul. She told us a lot about Istanbul history and had printed out pictures to show us. She even provided us with some tips which neighboorhoods to visit and which foods to try out. All in all a great experience

From Los Angeles

Metin is a great guide. This tour changed our departure time from 5:30pm to 4:45 pm in order to give us more time to enjoy the scenery before dark. We had a good Bosphorus cruise tour.
