Our guide Husain was lovely, he genuinely seemed excited about what he was showing us, the highlight for me was the basilica cistern, unfortunately the Hagia Sophia was under construction.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and we got Gelo from another guide who sorted out our cruise tickets for us. The Blye Misque was mind blowing.

I had an incredible dinner on a cruise last night. It lasted for three hours, and every moment was magical. The food was exquisite, and the atmosphere was just perfect. There was even a live show during the meal, with music and dance, which made the evening so much more special

This experience was simply amazing. The Whirling Dervishes is super interesting and very useful to learn about Sufi Islam. Also the Turkish food experience was really good and complete. Our guide Zeynep was top notch! She was friendly, clear, fun and very willing to help with any questions about Istanbul. 100% recommended!

I enjoyed the tour and the explanations offered by Hal, our guide. They were very informative and made the entire experience worth the time and money. I appreciate the guide for making the tour more interesting by sharing real life experiences from the life of the sultans, the harem and how all the Topkapi palace life contributed to lifting the ottoman elite. This kind of things you can't find in books.
We visited as a family, with our daughters 9 and 6 years old, and although we had to translate for them, they were captivated and stayed interested the entire time we had Hal guiding us.
This was a very good experience and I recommend to anyone interested to get real insights while visiting the Topkapi palace.
