We had a private tour of Istanbul (Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosk). Saban explains really well and really goes the extra mile to tell countless interesting stories. Very good organisation.

We paid $532.44 US for a full day tour of Ephesus with pick up from our hotel in Istanbul and airport transfers. After booking we received email confirmation stating “You’re all set for now. The activity provider will pick you up.” I called to confirm two days before our tour and was told we needed to pay an additional $240 for airfare. The tour description “From Istanbul: Ephesus Full-Day Tour” was misleading. When we booked the tour in May, airfare was not mentioned and was never communicated in any correspondence from the tour provider. Airfare charges were never mentioned until I called. We escalated this issue with Get Your Guide and are awaiting resolution. In the meantime, we paid the $240 airfare in cash two days after the tour. Their website and tour descriptions may now be updated, but be sure to confirm all details before booking with this company.

Excellent tour with Josh. He was very knowledgeable and also ensured he was aware of our interests and needs throughout the day which we appreciated- a great way to start our trip and get to know some of the magic and history of Istanbul! Thank you!!!

Great day with the family and our awesome guide Naci! Nice to be able to pace the tour to a 6 and 12 year old while still making it interesting for the two adults. Lunch location was an added bonus, great food.

Terrific 2 days with Saban Seker (pronounced Sheban Seker)! I went with my 25 year old son. We saw everything, got terrific photos, delicious food, and never felt rushed. He adjusted it to our pace and interests. It was fun, informative and we feltwe made a new friend. Highly recommend! 5 stars!

Our tour was very well planned and the guide was very helpful and coperative. He kept the pace as per our requirement as we had seniors and kids with us. Really enjoyed the Bosphorus cruise and the show was amazing. The food was good too. They helped us with our tour related infos as well which were not even part of the package. Exceptional services. Highly recommended.

Nicely paced and cover 4-5 key sight seeing spots. I guide Saban Sezer was very nice and engaging. Knew the history and the area really well. Relaxing / walking tour. Keep in mind that you have to buy tkts for some places. I would definitely recommend this

Very well organized private tour of the highlights of Istambul. Really good Guide with a very good knowledge of the areas shown. Booking went without a hassle and me and my wife were very delighted.

It was a wonderful experience. The guide was professional and very helping. Cruise dinner was exceptional.

Excellent tour of all the highlights in Istanbul over two days. My guide was Alper and he was extremely well informed about Turkish history, politics and culture. So in addition to learning lots about the individual sites and their history I also learnt so much more about the country. Highly recommended

It was good and lots of fun and I liked it and I recommend this trip , the food was ok, the service was good and the staff were very nice.

This tour is an absolutely wonderful way to experience many of the top sights in Istanbul. My tour guide Dennis went above and beyond my expectations. Dennis was prompt in picking me up from my hotel and we immediately went to see the sights. He was able to pass us through the lines almost immediately without waiting. Dennis was extremely knowledgeable about the history and art of Istanbul and answered all my questions as. He also is a top notch photographer and took many wonderful photos of me any time I asked! Lastly, on his own time he graciously took me to the spice bazaar and we got to sample many tasty treats! Overall, it was a perfect way to spend my first day in Istanbul and I am quite grateful to have made such a great friend. I highly recommend. Thank you again Dennis!

Excellent tour of Istanbul highlights (Sultanahmet Square, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar). Our guide Saban was awesome. He provided us a lot of interesting information for each site and answered all of our questions. He planned our route to minimise time waiting in queues and gave us ample free time to roam around, explore and take photos. He also recommended us a delicious place for lunch (Pudding Shop Lale Restaurant). Couldn’t have asked for a better tour and tour guide!

We were 2 adults with 2 children, ages 14 and 11, and decided to take this 2 day tour since we only had a 3 day stay in Istanbul and did not feel like we wanted the hassle of making all the plans and decisions ourselves. Our tour guide, Gamze, met us at our hotel after promptly communicating all our details through email. We walked everywhere the first day, and covered the main attractions (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar. She accommodated our pace and was attentive to our needs. She spoke excellent English and had great interpersonal skills. She recommended excellent restaurants for lunch on both days, and showed us, at our request, a ceramic-making gallery/store. All the entrance tickets to the main attractions were NOT included in the cost of the tour, but we did not wait in line. The second day we visited Dolmabahce Palace (sp?) and had a water cruise on the Bosphorus, with a walk from Taksim square to the Galata Tower and bridge and back to our hotel. Again, we felt we covered as much as possible given that we had kids with us. Highly recommended.

Emrah organised this tour from the moment we landed in Istanbul until our return. Everyone from the taxi drivers, the tour guides, Saban for Istanbul and Zeki for Cappadocia, were amazing. They went out of their way to make this a great experience for us. 3 days in Istanbul and 2 days in Cappadocia, all arranged by Booking Guide Turkey. 10 out of 10.
