Popular Sightseeing Tours in Istanbul

Great way to visit the highlights of Istanbul and skip the long queues. The guide was also really professional and had a great knowledge of the places' history and culture. The attractions included in this tour are pretty close to one another, within walking distance. You should know that you meet the guide at the meeting point, visit one place, then the guide gives you some free time (usually it's 15-20 minutes) and then meet the guide again at the meeting point in order to visit the next place (because not all the people who buy this pass will come and visit all the places, so there are always new people that the guide needs to meet with). We didn't realize this at first, but as mentioned previously, all the places included in this pass are within walking distance from one another, so this is fine.

We decided to do this trip based on the fact we wanted to do a boat tour of Istanbul and were too late book any of the morning trips. This was convenient as it started at 14:30, was two hours long and we had a great tour guide despite the windy weather. So it's worth doing if your tight for time and money. Only trouble was locating the meeting point which happen to be a travel tours shop by the tram station at Old town.

A great guide, we enjoyed a lot the tour of the Topkapi palace. A lot of knowledge, perfect english, very polite, answered a lot of questions, thanks again for the tour!

Good tour because it was flexible enough to suit our preferences. Some sites are closed on certain days like the Blue Mosque which we couldn't visit.
