Our guide Hasan was knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. Basilica Cisterna was particularly worth visiting.

This walking tour in Turley was the absolute highlight of our vacation. Our guide was highly knowledgeable, he told us the most important details and it was very pleasent. I'd recommend wearing walking shoes because there's a lot to walk.

The tour was very good and insightful and everything was on time. Our tour guide Buse was very kind and did a great job at telling us about the three landmarks. Thank you!

Easy and simple. It's all one click away using my mobile phone. The emai notification will guide you all throughout the package. If you get lost along the way, the customer service is as efficient as the step by step procedure from the email received from headout. The tour guide is very smart, knowledgeable and helpful all day long. Met new friends during the trip.

The guide, Mohammed, was very good. He was able to make alternative arrangements to see another cistern as the Basilica Cistern was shut on the day of the tour. This could have been made clear at the time of booking (only the previous day.)

Whole experience was well planned despite the fact that Basilica Cistern was closed. Guide offered to take us to another Cistern and it was a good decision. Our guide was amazing! With lots od knowledge and well spoken english.

Loved the blue mosque, just stunning Hagia Sofia was okay just seemed a bit scruffy and the tour guide spoke for an hour watching the queues build up, I had to leave the group and find a seat. Basilica Costern didn't have enough handrails on the stairs, the room was a bit too dim

Our guide was very committed to the group, made sure everyone was included, explained the history and significance of sites, and accommodated, and even made time to help a couple recover their stolen backpack that was turned into the security station. Note that thieves are everywhere at the main tourist sites.

We had a great time with our guide who not only shared some facts about what we were visiting but also facts about Turkey and Istanbul. Really interesting to have another perspective...and we skipped the line :-)

Our guide gave great information. Had difficulty hearing him at times. Sometimes his directions of where to meet were not descriptive enough. The group was too large. Ended up not using the ticket for haggia Sophia because the line was too long and it was the last stop. I never did receive the email after booking and even after calling support, never received. I did receive the text (which referenced my correct email address) so thankfully because I had an international plan, was able to receive the text and therefore my tickets. So please work on these aspects and you will receive a better rating.

I liked the tour, but I really advise the revision of the tour description. The description mentioned choosing a slot for each visit and that some sites where closed certain days of the week and in the end we just got the tour in one go, which was my preference. But because the description was not clear I ended up by changing other plans. So please be clear about the tour layout. I am starting to notice that everything single activity I book is poorly explained. Is it a cultural thing?

The guides were awesome, beginning with Cenker who was unbelievably patient with clueless tourists who had all sorts of issues (no pass, wrong date, etc). His tour to the Hagia Sophia was great. He and the other guides were professional and cool handling that, then enthusiastic in their guiding. They were informative and funny when appropriate. They each answered all the questions from tourists. The guide (forget his name) in the Cistern was excellent, as was Mohammed to the Blue Mosque. They each did their best to ensure that our group did not have to wait and had a great experience.

the guide was very punctual, helpful, and really makes sure we get enough time to take photos and explained so many interesting things about the landmarks, he even cater with people who got curious about the Turkish bath, definitely knows what he is doing and definitely would rate him 10/10!

We booked a combo tour to visit Aghia Sofia, the Sultanahmet Mosque and the Basilica Cistern and it was truly a great experience. The staff and our tour guides were passionate and kind and did not treat us as tourists but as friends, sharing their knowledge about the city and its wonders. Keep going to all the guides who take care of this tour, your job is well appreciated and you are doing it so well!! Also the organisation was great, with the possibility to visit the various structures in different time slots close of separate from each other. Would surely recommend this experience!

Well organized tour, very knowledgeable guide. Only downside is that the entrance to Hagia Sophia is only for the upper part of the basilica and not the lower part.
