Best of Istanbul for First time Visitors

Guide was excellent and had a high level of knowledge of each of the sites. He was respectful and patient with the whole group.

As First Time In Istanbul, was an amazing experience. Kemal Aslan was our guide tour, He was absolutely Incredible, he’s knowledgeable and well prepared and explains the history of the city and the country. He will make sure that your experience will fill your expectations of your day! Visit the most Iconic locations of the city, and hidden gems, you will feel like local. I truly appreciate Kemal for such great hospitality. I recommend Kamal 100%, until next time turkey!

Amazing Kemal was a fabulous tour guide and went out of his way to make sure everyone in the group was comfortable and having a fun time. He made our first trip to Istanbul wonderful and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend taking this tour

Such a great and comprehensive tour with Baris in Istanbul! He was very articulate and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions thoroughly. He was personable and even took time to take photos at the best locations! He assisted me when I dropped my phone, and helped me recover it at a secure location, all while keeping me at ease. We would highly recommend him for an educational and interesting Istanbul experience!

A great introduction to Istanbul and the special places to visit. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque were the highlights. Our guide, Ufku helped us skip the cues and shared his passion for the rich history he knows well. And he knew the best places to visit for local art, ceramics, carpets, leather and baklava. 9000 steps of cobblestones and marble in the rain, a fantastic first day in Istanbul. Thank you

We recieved a lot of information from Viator saying they would meet us at our hotel, that is the reason we booked the tour. They texted us and we did not hear the text because we were waiting outside . We called and she blamed us. She said for us to hurry or they would leave us.. We went where she told us but we did not see anyone there with any sign so we kept looking. When we got to the place for the second time still no sign. I do not know how she expected us to know her. This was our first impression of Viator in Istanbul.

The guide’s sharing his knowledge of the city and guiding us through all the memorable sights effortlessly!

Mrs. Edru was very knowledgeable and flexible. If you had any questions about anything Istanbul she had the right answer. She was friendly and kind. Its a lot of walking but worth it.

What a great tour. Our guide Ms. Ezgi was great. She was so kind and knowledgeable. There is just so much history in the city. It is a lot to take in. She also took us to a cistern that had been converted into a small museum. There was also a fabulous carpet store and pottery shop as well. The tour company was great to deal with as well. They were always quick to respond and helped us organize special transportation since we were staying on the Asian side. I would highly recommend this tour and this company

Great place to enjoy good food and stroll in places rich in history. If you know where to stay, you will have easy access to various places with reduced time. It's worth it!!!
