Fabulous

This private tour was fabulous and worth every penny. Tutya took it slowly at our own pace. (my husband had torn his hamstring a few months earlier,) even though we went over 13,000, steps we did not feel rushed or pressured to go faster and did not realize how much we had walked. When we wanted to stop for a coffee or just people watch, she knew exactly where to go. She definitely catered to our interests and wishes. She provided us with history, information, navigated through the crowds, and showed us some of the lesser seen areas such as the Greek neighborhood, which was so lovely. Our driver was kind and courteous and went above and beyond getting us to the airport, which was a very far distance and much past his contracted time. He was prompt and got to us quickly being on call with our guide, Tutya. Lastly, Tutya selected and arranged dinner at a lovely restaurant on the Bosporus, which was the perfect end of an exquisite day.

Amazing Day in Istanbul!

This was by far one of the best private tours we have ever taken. Our guide, Bahat, was very knowledgeable and told us a ton of great info about each stop. Lunch was delicious and we got to see so much in 1 day. This is a must if you're looking for a private day tour in Istanbul!
