Friendly tour guide, could answer all our questions confidently. Enthusiastic about his job. We met the company exactly where they said, they were there on time and very helpful. There was no skip the queue but they moved very fast, and we went in the afternoon. Would have liked a longer tour of the old town. The entry to the mosques are free but we enjoyed the personal and educational aspects of the tour. Would recommend. Great tour overall.

The tours were well organized. Information was clear and directions with Google maps link very easy to follow. Guide Haluk for the Blue Mosque and Buse for the Hagia sophia were awesome. They told us interesting facts and stories and pointed out many easy to miss details. They were enthusiastic and Buse even gave us tips for the must-see places for the remainder of our holiday.

The tour guides were young and friendly and knowledgeable about the buildings. My favorite part is that there were no forced store visits or carpet lectures or anything of the sort!
