Well paced and knowledgeable guide

Published on Sep, 2024

Tolga was a great guide. Just the two of us in this party so a really personal experience. Well paced tour of 2 great sites. A knowledgeable guide and plenty of time to take in the sights. Tolga really brought the history alive with stories of palace life, but also gave us time to wander at our own pace. In 3.5 hour you cannot see everything, but he left us with pointers in what more there was to see after he left us. Good value, and so much better than an audio guide.

Wonderful and Attentive

Published on Jun, 2024

The tour was wonderful. Nadriye was very patient with my elderly mother and my young daughter who were slower than the rest of us. She was very attentive and considerate. The palace and mosque are a great glimpse into istanbuls wonderful history and a must see for any tourists in the city.

Totally recommended

Really competent guide, interesting and beautiful sites to visit. Totally recommend in order to speed up the ticket process as well

Lovely Experience

Published on Apr, 2024

Our guide was very knowledgeable, and willing to share. We were both injured (knee strains) and unable to walk quickly but our guide was extremely accommodating in that she walked slowly and allowed us frequent rest breaks. We appreciated her kindness and loved the history and current events that were shared with us throughout our time together. Thanks for the wonderful tour!

Beautiful visit
