My guide on the Asian side of Istanbul: Uskudar and Kadikoy full day tour was a very nice man called Tuncer. It was an unforgettable journey through historic times to the present day. The guide has a wealth of historical knowledge and is able to convey it well and get the other person interested. You can see that he puts his heart and soul into his work and enjoys it. This makes it an unforgettable experience for the tourists who travel with him. And I must add that I was very lucky to have the guide all to myself, as I was the only one who had booked a tour for that day. Another company might have cancelled or tried to move me to another day, but not Istanbul Walks and not my guide. And I am very grateful for that. It was a very unforgettable day indeed.

Set on this full-day adventure in Istanbul was truly breathtaking! The boat ride along the Bosphorus Strait offered stunning views of majestic bridges, palaces, and mosques. The guided tour of Dolmabahçe Palace was fascinating, and exploring the Spice Bazaar was a sensory delight with its vibrant colors and enticing scents. The highlight was undoubtedly the delicious 3-course meal enjoyed by the beautiful shoreline. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Istanbul, offering a perfect blend of sightseeing and cultural experiences.

beautiful city. Food places and lots of things to do. love the shopping. we visited a shop out of the bazar and it was a nice shop with quality leather goods. Will be visiting there again when we are back

If you want to escape the hussle and bustle of the city for an hour, and have a ringside seat to a spiritual ceremony, then this is the place to go. It's not for everyone, but it we found it very relaxing and intriguing.

Unfortunately, the cooking class was cancelled by the organiser, I only found out on the morning of the class when I was confirming the name of the restaurant that would be hosting the cooking class. They asked me to come the week after which was impossible as we were only in Istanbul for 2 days. We were very disappointed, as we had been looking forward to this opportunity during our stay in Istanbul...

Incredible tour, with fascinating sites and narrative. Ozzy was an incredible guide with amazing insight and knowledge. This is a great introduction to the history and culture of this beautiful city.

No one showed up to pick me up. It was terrible. When I called the tour company they said Trip Advisor did not give them my reservation. I am still waiting for a refund. Go directly to a travel agent.

It was a great spiritual experience. Much of this ancient sumi tradition is unknown to most. A must for anyone visiting Istanbul

Food was mediocre, definitely overpriced for what we learned . The chef was a young girl and she was very sweet and friendly but the flavor of food was just okay. We’ve done many cooking classes all over the world this was probably the most expensive and not that great. On the description they say wine tasting and that was not even offered, I wouldn’t recommend it.

We were here during Kurban Bayram and the lines were enormous there was a two hour que and for what? Absolute diss appointment only thing is columns ontop of water - yeah it’s underground but so are tunnels and aquariums. Seriously if you haven’t been don’t go just look at the photos it’s exactly what you see

Learned more about the Asian side of Istanbul. Very interesting. Lunch was great! I also learned more about Turkey from the eyes and heart of the guide.

Be careful shopping perfumes . there is plenty of copies available , But finally you can be packed a similar bottle in similar to original package , Closed , but bottle contains NO PERFUME , but WATER

It was a very meaningful ceremony and an intimate setting with a good view of the ceremony from every seat. The music was enchanting and the information boards outside of the ceremony room are informative.

Great place where culture & history meets. Plan to spend at least half day there. There is a lot of walking & lines of people to get to every room. You can see Harem from inside or household items like pots , guns or clothes. The only negative experience I had there was bathroom situation where there was not enough stalls for women, constant lines to get to the bathroom, lack of paper toilet & hand soap. Other than that I have no regrets

Nothing luxury about this hotel simply not ready for guests cold no hot water not finished food appalling no choice no desserts building site on terrace of the restaurant first floor. No toaster for breakfast. Rushed to open in time for 23. All exotica said was that the would credit us with a voucher for £50 in my exotica account ready for the next time I booked with them. Good luck with that guys could be in there for some time. Ps make sure you get 23 kg baggage with the flights Turkish airlines charged us £111 for one 21 kg bag there and back. On this tour you live out of a suitcase 6 different hotels 7 changes.
