Istanbul - Great tour! - Our guide and driver were fantastic. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us so much information. The stops on the tour were beautiful and very worth seeing and learning about. Our guide managed our time well. The restaurant option was perfect for us. Was a great tour to see the highlights of Istanbul; we wouldn't have been able to do that on our own.

Great Tour - Cicek was our tour guide and she became our friend at the end of our two day tour. She was very knowledgeable, informative and very personable. I was with my husband and our friends Michael and Jamie. Cicek took us to all the highlights of Istanbul and never rushed us. She also took us to some wonderful restaurants for lunch which we all sat together for a delicious meal with great conversations. I highly recommend this tour with Cicek.

Do nor recommend, its a scam - I would not recommend this trip experience to anyone. We had a booking for 2 with pickup from hotel at 9 AM. The guide came at 9:15 AM, and no car. He booked a taxi to goto Blue Mosque and asked us to pay 500 Lira. We walked around the Blue Mosque and outside, it was raining and cold. He showed us few things and then dropped us at Grand Bazar at 10:15 AM and the guide left at 10:30 AM. The tour concluded in 1 hour 15 mins as opposed to 12 hours we planned for. This tour only includes the Guide nothing else, I think anyone can just follow the itinerary and do it on there own. We were scammed of 154$.
