Skip-the-Line: Istanbul Highlights Tour for Cruise & Hotel Guests

I would highly recommend this tour to see Istanbul main sites. We had the best tour guide. Her name was Asiha. She was absolutely amazing. There was supposed to be another couple but they canceled so she was our private tour guide the entire day. She took us everywhere. We ate at this great restaurant for real Turkish Food where all the locals eat. The food was so fresh and delicious. She took us on the tram to the spice market that was truly amazing and a great experience to see. Besides all the beautiful sites she took us too, her knowledge and history of everything we were seeing made the experience amazing. Aishait was our pleasure to have met you and spending the day with you showing us how beautiful Istanbul is. Asiha thanks again for a great day!

Excellent experience . The guide was very knowledgeable and understanding.

Aisha was fantastic! Knowledgeable, friendly. She knows all inside tips and tricks. Our family has a great time and enjoyed the day very much

Hagia Sophia is being renovated with huge steel I-beams crisscrossing the almost the entire floor. Really hard to get an impression of the space with all that in the way. Of course, this was not the fault of the tour provider of the tour guide but it would have been nice to be forewarned. Still, you can’t miss this amazing, historic place.

A lot of walking and go early to avoid the influx of cruise ship tourists. That said the tour was excellent and our guide Merk was very accommodating and knowledgeable.

I want to send my gratitude for all your knowledge and assistant throughout the day it was very informative and my mother and I both felt like a friend was spending the day with us showing us around Istanbul.

The best way to see all the best of Istanbul in a short time. Sevda was great! She made sure we all had a great experience. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

My husband and I enjoyed the tour Sevda took us on. We covered a lot of ground, so much beauty and history in Istanbul. She chose an excellent restaurant, I had no idea how much I love Turkish food. We learned so much from the tour and enjoyed how she presented the information.

Thanks to Sevda for showing us around Istanbul! My little one and I enjoyed her company very much. She's warm, friendly, very knowledgeable about Turkey’s rich history and culture.

Wherever we go in the world we always read a lot about the location beforehand, but it’s not enough, as we find truly learning about the historical places and the culture is to take a tour with a guide from the country who has a lot to share - and with a guide as excellent as Aisha. She was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful with advice on where to go beyond the tour, how to get around, and answered our many questions. We learned a lot about Turkey. Aisha speaks excellent English and is kind. We liked her very much. Aisha modified the itinerary a little at our request as it was a small group, and she did so with such ease. (eg we plan to visit the Topkapi Palace next week.) We fit in a Bosphorus Cruise today that was fantastic. If you visit the Mosque of Suleyman, as we did today, and like beans, the restaurant directly outside the Mosque is very good and the outside seating is delightful. It’s our first time in Turkey and we’re amazed by Istanbul. We highly recommend this tour and we highly recommend Aisha. Thank you, Aisha. We loved meeting you and had an excellent day!
