Customer Reviews
Our guide was very friendly and informative .
Had a great day learning about Istanbul.
Sultanahmet is a great place. I think it is the most popular touristic place. It is the center of old city. There are a lot of museums. It was magnificent.
This was my second trip to Istanbul. I offer you to visit these areas with a guide. I noticed that I missed a lot of details when I travel on my own at my first trip. The tour was extremely informative! Brilliant guide.
We walked a little bit much but it is really worth it. At the end of the day, we were very tired but all of us had a smiley face! :) Thank you guys!
