It was a fantastic tour. Bora, our tour guide, had enormous knowledge and a competent but also entertaining way of sharing it. A wonderful truly memorable day.
We were met promptly by our guide, Renan Saylag at our hotel and were asked what we would like to see. Renan explained that the main sites would involve long queues and we agreed that we would prefer to experience the real Istanbul rather that wasting time in queues. Renan walked us round places that we would never have ventured to on our own. We were not disappointed. My wife was very happy with the artisan shoe makers shops, handbags too! We experienced the Grand Bazaar and a lesser known mosque before arriving at the Blue Mosque, the queues were still there! Renan was a super guide, passionate about her city. Her command of English was excellent. We would certainly want her as our guide on our next visit to Istanbul, which will happen. Thoroughly recommended.
We are delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Renan and that you enjoyed discovering the authentic side of Istanbul beyond the main tourist queues. It is especially pleasing to know that her knowledge, passion for the city, and excellent English made your day so enjoyable. We will be sure to share your kind words with Renan, as feedback like yours is truly motivating for our guides. We greatly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit to Istanbul.
Our tour guide, Renan, was amazing! She is beyond knowledgeable about Istanbul and its culture. She is kind, funny, and very friendly! We had the best day and she made our private tour exactly what we wanted! She is also a great photographer! We saw so much and she explained in detail and passion about life and culture in Istanbul. We saw Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar. We had amazing Turkish coffee and delights and teas from the most incredible places. We learned how to hand loom pure silk carpets! It really was a fantastic day and Renan made it even more special with her friendship!
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! It is heartening to know that Renan’s knowledge and friendly spirit helped you connect so deeply with Istanbul’s history and traditions. We take great pride in creating personalized experiences, and we're glad you enjoyed everything from the Basilica Cistern to the hand-loomed silk carpets. We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit!

Today I took a private tour in Istanbul with Ada Travel, and the experience was exceptional. The guide was very professional, friendly, and kind, as well as extremely patient. He explained everything in great detail, helped us take photos at every place we wanted, and was always attentive to our needs. I highly recommend them: if you visit Istanbul, don’t hesitate to contact them.
Fatma was our guide in Spanish. He picked us up at our hotel and told us a little bit about the history of Istanbul. Then we head to tour the racetrack, Hagia Sophia, blue mosque and the great bazaar. We had an amazing day thanks to Fatma.
We were lucky to have Sedat as our guide in Istanbul and we can’t be happier with the experience. From the first moment he customized each visit so that we could make the most of our time, showing us not only the most emblematic places but also unique corners that we would never have discovered on our own. Sedat made us feel comfortable, safe and super well taken care of at all times. A unique experience thanks to its professionalism and warmth. 100% recommended if you want to discover Istanbul in the best way!!!
Istanbul was a fantastic city to visit, with a real depth of history and culture to explore. There is an abundance of historical buildings, museums, exhibits etc. that provided fantastic examples of the significant importance this city has been on the history and development of the world. Our experience was truly enhanced by the depth of knowledge and passion that our local Viator guide had for their city. They provided a detailed history from early BC to the present day; highlighting the changing architecture throughout the ages.

Sedat Gülen was our private guide during 3.5 days in Istanbul. We went to the main landmarks, he advised us where to eat and buy. It was an unique experience that for sure we will hope and like to repeat again. Thanks Sedat for your outstanding companion during these days. Mónica & José

The sites were amazing, featuring tons of historic buildings and beautiful artwork and architecture. My guide, Ugurcan, took me to the best place to see how carpets are made and showed me around the Grand Bazaar. The whole experience was a 10/10; I highly recommend it.
