Esra met us at my hotel at 8.30 am for the Istanbul Old town walking tour. Tour included Hagia Sofia Mosque/Museum, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Old Hippodrome, and Grand bazaar as well as pointing out other aspects of the history of Istanbul. What a wonderful experience in Istanbul. We were totally enthralled with everything. Esra’s commentary and knowledge were excellent and her love of this city with its remarkable history was obvious. Thank you…

Our guide, Veli, did a wonderful job showing us around Istanbul including the historical background of this fabulous city. Loved seeing the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, the Grand Bazaar, and Basilica Cistern. Veli was prompt, very personable and one of my favorite guided tours. While booking the day tour, Tuna has been very attentive in responding to my emails. Highly recommend.

Mr Ugur of Toursce’ is a superior guide! He was both very knowledgeable and very friendly. We had very limited time in Istanbul and he made the most of it. We learned more from him than we ever could have on our own in this big city. When in Istanbul you simply must hire a local guide from this company.

Memorable visits to the most beautiful attractions in the old city of Istanbul were amazing. My first time visiting Istanbul was in September and since planning was quite a rush, I didn’t do much homework before I left from home. My friend invited us to join a guided Istanbul tour of the old city. Our tour guide was informative, kind, and most importantly patient with five ladies. I really appreciate the bits of information that the tour guide shares, which I would probably have missed by only reading from the websites and it is always very good to talk with knowledgeable locals.

We have been on a wonderful tour. Even though the Blue Mosque was under renovation on the tour day, we had a blessed time going around Sultanameth and visiting beautiful places like the Hagia Sophia, the old Hippodrome, and the Topkapi Palace Museum. The local tour guide Selcuk, who spoke Spanish and English was wonderful person, very knowledgeable, and provided a lot of information about these historical places. We were delighted.
