Great tour. I would recommend, The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The only part I hate is when they send you to the stores it is a tourist trap . Prices are extremely high. Don’t fall it and buy it on the tours you can get it cheap elsewhere.
A day in Beautiful Istanbul

The tour was well organized. Each attraction was given plenty of time to visit and explore. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the historical significance and highlights of each site. Highly recommend this tour.
Delightful small group tour of historic, mystical Istanbul…

Enjoyed this tour by a gentleman who never gave his name. He was very attentive, kept the group together, was multi-lingual, assisted with transfers and admissions, helped us understand customs so as not to offend, and he provided lunch. The tour was VERY reasonably priced, and I would certainly recommend it. I met several folks on the trip from the group and have stayed in touch with them. The pictures are stunning. Great memories of Istanbul before the horror of Taksim settled in the next day. Taksim is what they don’t show you. Do NOT go there under any circumstances, especially as an American. Anyway, I took this tour on my second day and it was worth every penny. I learned so much about Istanbul and Turkey’s history which really complimented my trip. I noted several places I’d like to visit again the third day to go back by myself and wouldn’t have know about them if not for this tour such as the spice bazaar and the cisterns under Hagia.
Istanbul come and see and Believe

Visting the Hagia Sophia and all the landmarks listed on the tour; our guide Mr. Barakat was more than informative he went above and beyond to make everyone on the tour feel comfortable and safe. We learned and saw historical sites that were only accessible through textbooks and videos Mr. Barakat brought all these historical events to life. Thanks for assigning one of your best of the best guide tour instructors; he made Istanbul a miraculous memory.

Blue mosque under renovation, hagia ok, best part of the tour is cruise, bazaar not sufficient time
Cable car not needed
Should include basilica,
So-so tour

Had to run around Istanbul to join the group because the pick up place provided was different from the actual one. Lots of wasted time between activities. Bosporus cruise was excruciatingly boring
