A very exciting and full day. Our guide, Omer Faruk made this tour an absolute pleasure. Omer's excellent English made it easy to stay engaged with all the history and knowledge he shared with us. Very polite, considerate, Omer was very attentive to our needs in the course of the day. He made an excellent choice for lunch at a street restaurant for grilled mackerel in a wrap! Our driver, Berkan, was very skilled and punctual always.

The actual tour I took was Istanbul City Break. It was amazing. I had 2 different guides, and both offered what I wanted to see and experience. Both were well versed in what each site contained and had a deep understanding of the history. In addition, both guides looked after my wellbeing. This is a great tour, very comprehensive. The hotel was also great. I felt that the staff looked after me, especially when my taxi back to the airport was delayed. They found alternative transportation and I made it on time. I highly recommend this tour and its company.

Omer was brilliant. Very knowledgeable, good English and very patient with slower walkers. Gave us good recommendations for lunch spot, how to negotiate the bazaar and other questions we asked that were not related to the tour. He adjusted the schedule to avoid crowds and made good suggestions of how best to spend our time.

It was a wonderful day tour and the shore activities and the ferry ride on the Bosphorous was excellent. We had a wonderful day and for first impressions of Turky and Istanbul it couldn't have been better. Our guide “Ömer” was very knowledgeable, and gave us plenty of time, didn't rush us and was great to talk to. His English was good too. Strongly recommend this tour and guide.
