Viator tours are usually very good and worth the cost. On this particular tour we were lucky to have Ahmet Cokyasar as our guide. He was outstanding! Very knowledgeable about the City and its history, has a great sense of humor, and is fluent in English and easy to understand. He made the day for us. The local spot he suggested for lunch, once we confirmed we wanted to try something really authentic, was a great place - we loved getting the feel & taste of real Turkish food. Istanbul traffic is tough. This tour is planned around being able to walk between various sites that are close to each other. Not too hard, but wear appropriate shoes.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and had such a great experience with Ahmet. He truly loves sharing the beauty and history of Istanbul with our guests, and your kind words will make his day. We’re also glad you enjoyed the authentic Turkish lunch experience — it’s one of the best parts of exploring the city! We hope to welcome you back to Turkey again soon for another memorable adventure. Warm regards, DtS Tour Team
