Brilliant private walking tour of the Topkapi palace, Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque - Whole day walking tour. Really knowledgeable and helpful. Took us round the Topkapi palace, Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque with an additional tour of the grand bazaar thrown in, which wasn't part of the official tour. Loads of information about the history of the different places but not too much and all at our own pace. Highly recommended. Was also fantastic at taking photos of the two of us together, which we never usually get.

An enriching experience! - Zerkan's tour was thorough, well-informed, accommodating and entertaining. It was truly an enriching experience. We had the opportunity to not only visit and learn more about world heritage landmarks, but also about customs and different aspects of the Turkish culture. We highly recommend Zerkan as your tour guide.

Tour of Blue Mosque and Others - Serkan was fantastic! He was a wealth of knowledge, bringing all of Istanbul’s main attractions to life. Additionally, he introduced us to friends that owned local restaurants and stores. The food was great and the stores had some of the finest rugs and ceramics in the world.

Wonderful custom day tour! - Serkan was an excellent guide. We had already visited the main attractions. So we planned a customized trip based on our interests and his suggestions. We rode trams, trollies, and two types of ferries. We learned modern and ancient history with a focus on my own heritage. And we connected personally. Well done Serkan!

A prefect way to layover in Istanbul! - I had a fantastic experience with this business from the moment I booked. They were very helpful in ensuring that I was able to get to and from the airport in a timely fashion during my layover and provided an interesting, engaging day tour of the Old City of Istanbul. My personal guide, iLKER, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and a wonderful communicator given he had previously lived in the United States. He did a great job of managing our time with a solid mix of historical sites, opportunities to shop, beautiful views, and delicious a meal. I highly recommend booking a tour with Guidesinturkey!

The advantage of choosing an experience guide in Turkey - It’s very useful to have a guide when you want to buy quality products in a place like Istanbul where you have a lot of choice. The guide also has good tips for very fine restaurants at a reasonable price. He also has good historical knowledge and it's interesting to have a conversation with him about the culture of Turkey and the Orient.
