Istanbul Tour Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 282 customer reviews
Great experience in a beautiful country
5 - Excellent
  • Annalisa Stanzione
“The tour was perfectly arranged since the very first day to our last. Our guide Kadriye so attentive and caring of the needs of all the members of our small group of 6. The driver and the minibus top as well as almost all the hotels. Beautiful places visited and great welcoming from the local people. We would certainly suggest this travel expert for a tour in Turkey”
1st Adventure to Turkey
5 - Excellent
  • Karen Clancy
“Great trip which started in Istanbul, we had two different guides on day 1 and day 2. The first one was nice but didn’t introduce himself to us, which was a disappointment we walked and picked up others along the way to Topkapi Palace, which was extremely busy as our guide said two cruise ships were in port, which made the queues long (including toilets) and we didn’t have time to see everything. Second guide was excellent, Adul (sorry may be wrong) very informative with maps to explain our trip along the Boshporus, guided us through spice bazaar and how to use the team. After our flight to Kayseri we were warmly greeted by our driver Okan (also our disc jockey) and guide Ali, who were both friendly and knowledgeable on what we were seeing and answering our questions. We were a group of four and we had the mini bus to ourselves so felt very personal. Had a bit of trouble with mini bus which was sorted out overnight, Okan and Ali had much longer days than us ⭐️ This was our first tour to Turkey which gave us a very small glimpse of the country. All hotels were excellent but the Fresco Cave Suites were amazing, we were upgraded which included our own sauna room, lovely friendly staff and amazing breakfast, thank you Volkan. We would recommend this tour and want to see more of Turkey. We were four women travelling and felt safe and respected wherever we went.”
Full of surprises

“The trip was well paced, with a variety of activities to suit all tastes. Lots of local knowledge was provided on extra activities and places to visit,shop and eat outside the tour plan.”

Istanbul — Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Travel Highlights

  • The Hagia Sophia is the highlight of all Istanbul tours. Constructed in the sixth century, the Hagia Sophia is one of the world’s largest cathedrals that was converted into a mosque in the 15th century and a museum in 1935.
  • Your Istanbul visit will not be complete without stopping by Sultanahmet Mosque, also called the Blue Mosque. Built around the early 17th century, the Blue Mosque is one of the world's most impressive monuments.
  • Exploring the Topkapi Palace should be one of the top things to do in Turkey for all visitors. The vast Harem complex features a dazzling display of Islamic art, including intricate tile work.
  • The Basilica Cistern is a must-visit on your Istanbul tours. It is a massive subterranean cistern with hundreds of columns arranged in 12 rows.
  • Never leave Istanbul without visiting the Grand Bazaar, a vast covered market featuring thousands of shops scattered across dozens of streets. Exercise your bargaining skills when making a purchase.

Travel Tips

  • If you are looking for something authentic to try in Istanbul while touring Turkey, order a cup of Yayik ayran, a bubbly yogurt drink. Although it can serve as a standalone drink, it goes really well with any savory dish.
  • When visiting a mosque, schedule your visit outside of prayer time. No one is allowed to enter the mosques during prayer times, which also applies at the Sultanahmet Mosque, one of the city's top attractions.
  • Aside from spices, Grand Bazaar also sells herbal remedies that can cure different illnesses.
  • When shopping for Turkish delights, head to Altan Sekerleme, a classic candy shop that opened in 1865. It is a family-run shop that sells authentic Turkish delights. In fact, many Istanbul tours will take tourists to this famous shop.
