I would have given this 5 stars but we had no idea where to meet. I had to call three times to figure out meeting place., and he was late. Guide was knowledgeable and nice.
thanks for your kind comments
Great tour, fantastic service, special thanks goes to Ismail for the exceptional support, detailed information and great hospitality. Two thumbs up, totally recommend!
Thanks for your nice comments
We had a fascinating tour, and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable! I’m so glad we did this!!
thanks for your nice comments
We discovered grounds are on own. There was no admission charge to view sites. The fee was for guide who didn’t show up or call
The tour was fun and informative. On the way from the historic Hippodrome Square, we saw important works such as the Egyptian Obelisk, the Snake Column and the German Fountain, and went to the Blue Mosque. Most of the mosque is under restoration, but it is still worth visiting. The last and most important part of the tour is Hagia Sophia. We spent enough time inside and our guide was also knowledgeable about Hagia Sophia.
No information about where to meet was provided. We tried calling phone number specified, but no answer. We looked at all the sights for the guide, but no guide was found. None of the other guides at the sights had heard about Gulliver Tours. This is fraud, and should be removed from TripAdvisor. Demand for refund has been sent.
I can understand your disappointment but we've been doing this bussiness for years and have dozens of satisfied guests and good reviews, how can it be a fraud?
It was a great experience, we learned a lot about the history and places. Our guide Zeliha was amazing and she was very helpful and so sweet to everyone! I can highly recommend this tour, but better book extended tour which will include Top Kapi Palace as well!
Thanks a lot
Tour was booked but same thing again never contacted by local your operator after sending so many messages to know the meeting up location.felt awful we kept waiting at hagia sophia.then we saw a female tour operator for a different company and we told her about Gulliver travel who was meant to be conducting our your so she contacted and spoken to someone in turkish language and then after an hour we started the tour with a tour guide who was already conducting the tour for a group and we were made to join the tour that had already started.i would rather recommend to book locally so you know whats happening and don't want to be stressed during your holiday.
This is your mistake u were not on time U paid only 3 euro try to be partner our company u were supposed to be on time
Ismail was a fantastic tour guide! He shared his personal experiences with us which made the tour more interesting.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Had an amazing time learning about the incident histories/histories behind the mosques and the hippodrome and the serefiye cistern museum with an awesome tour guide (Ismail) the guide helped me understand the histories by using examples which made it even 100times more clear to me. Now I have the chance to share the knowledge I have learned during the tour with close friends/ families. Thank you for an awesome day! We’ll be coming back again :)
Thanks a lot 🙏
