“Overall, the experience was a 10/10. The tour guides, Johnny and Miki were super nice, helpful and energetic. They really improved the overall atmosphere of the experience. Our jeep was overbooked for whatever reason so it was a bit cramped, especially during the off reading experience. The lunch that was served was good although the chicken a bit tough. All the places we saw on the tour and the routes to get there were amazing and our driver was really good. Would really recommend this.”

Private full-day Istanbul highlights tour with pickup, a professional guide, and iconic stops like Hagia Sophia, Topkapi, Cistern, and Grand Bazaar.
“Kenan Bey was an excellent city guide. He gave us a lot of historical and cultural information as we walked through all the sites. He brought us to a few shops under the guise of showing us trades work, but we felt obligated to purchase items. The obligation was totally on us, but we still didn't think the guide should have led us to the lions' den, so to speak. Still, the shops were very nice. We thought the tour was going to be mostly driving, but it was just a ride to a drop off point and we walked the rest of the day. If you cannot walk much,…”

“Batu, our guide, was really knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. we reallyrec enjoyed the Basilica Cistern, such a beautiful atmosphere inside. The palace takes some time but we were informed along the way, I think for this reason a guide is better in the palace. we stopped at the Pudding Shop for lunch, good variety but remember, Turkish portions are big, we ordered a bit too much!! Hotel pick up was seamless in a nice clean people carrier. Would highly recommend if you want to hit all the highlights in one day.”

“The tour organiser never picked me up. I tried messaging them on the Viator app and on WhatsApp - they never replied on the app, and they replied to my WhatsApp messages two hours after the scheduled pickup time. When I asked for my refund, they said it was my problem for missing the trip and were frankly quite very rude about the whole thing. I wasted an entire day in the city and the expenses spent at the hotel. I would not have stayed in Antalya if not for this trip. As a result of Tripmania's incompetence and unresponsiveness, I had to have an empty day. And due to…”
Pick the day first, then pick who runs it.
