Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
A visit to the Topkapi Palace affords a great insight into the life of the Sultan and more to the working of his court. Make sure that you pay the extra to visit the Harem; many who visited with us did not which made it mercifully empty of visitors.
We contacted this company by email and received very prompt response from Burcu. My friend and I only had two days in instanbul and wanted to see the city without wasting time finding our way around. The company agreed to pick us up from the airport, give us a tour on the first day, take us to the hotel, pick..us up the next day for a private tour, and take us back to the airport. Our guide Taylan was extremely well informed and had a good feel for our interests and the pace at which we wanted to see things. He chose wonderful restaurants for dinner. He was a very interesting person and a pleasant companion for the two days in Istanbul. We learned a lot about Turkish history and culture from him. At the end of the tour, Taylan met us to ensure everything went as planned. He took a very personal interest in our having a great tour. I would highly recommend this company.
My then wife and I visited Istanbul many years ago but the visit to the Grand Bazaar was an experience that even now I can recall with great clarity.Approximately 4000 stalls under cover selling just about everything imaginable and some unmentionable.Leather goods in particular are a good buy if you are prepared to haggle.
We had a fantastic day.. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great tour of this great city!
Es lo mas lindo quw he visto en mi vida istanbul es una combinacion de culturas religiones modernidad el tour privado no dio esta oportunidad y muy bien todo
Thank you again Taylan for a lovely day…you definitely helped to make our trip to Istanbul a memorable one!
We were lucky to get a private tour which was fantastic. A great guide, professional and, guess what, a pretty cool friend too. He took us not only to the most beautiful places but he gave us the spirit of the sites, arranged special events for us and he was absolutely unstoppable. I could not have asked for a better service!
Coming from Rome to Istanbul, I was partly expecting the Archaeological Museum to be as impressive as what I could find in Rome. While not quite as expansive, if you are interested in ancient history & archaeology, it is certainly worth the trip.
The guide was very flexible being a private vehicle they would stop anywhere we asked them to. It was amazing experience with these great people.
Topkapi Palace is a must see, go early and avoid the many bus tours. Walk straight to the Treasury and see this first as this is the most popular and then visit the other sites. Worth paying extra for the visit to the Topkapi palace harem.
