Experience to be had here in Istanbul especially with the guide who took us through all the explanation necessary to understand the whole history up to the present day. Skip the line is essential to avoid long waits.

The guide was very knowledgeable and nice. We didn't have to stay in line and that was a relief as there were hundreds of people waiting.
I would definitely recommend and do it again.

Hussein was a fantastic guide - informative, relaxed, and hospitable. He took us through the 2 mosques and the cistern with practised ease - making for a comfortable and very enjoyable experience. The audio earpieces worked well and ensured our group could follow easily Hussein's excellent guidance. Hussein was also generous with answering extra questions and allowing group members to spend their own time at the sites and use the facilities. Overall, an excellent tour and well worth it.

We feared bad surprises after reading some negative comments online, but in Istanbul everything went perfectly . Precise and punctual organization, directions are given to the meeting point and via app everything is very convenient and at hand. Pleasant tour, our guide, Ali (I unfortunately do not remember his full name), was a nice guy, knowledgeable and very helpful. We had a great time with him, the explanation given was just the right length, neither too short nor too long, and the time flew by. Very convenient the skip-the-line ticket, considering the crowds of tourists.

Great experience! A group not so large that you can't ask questions to the guide and no one got lost despite big crowds. Incredidbly knowledgeable guide who provided a very detailed and interesting tour. A great start to our trip to Istanbul to get a base understanding of Old Town and its history.

The guide was really very good. Punctual. Easy to find.
I had never tried Headout, didn't know it before and had some anxiety because the reviews were not all positive.
Really interesting 4-hour tour!

A very entertaining guide, who ensured that the tour was very exciting, entertaining and entertaining with his great specialist knowledge and many anecdotes!
Not having to queue is a great luxury, as the other queues would have taken hours.

Our tour guide was very good. He had a very thorough grasp on the history of each site we visited and gave us just the right amount of detail to really understand the history of each place. A really good experience

The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we had a great tour. One tourist didn't see us at the meeting point half way through and yelled at the guide saying he hadn't shown up, but the guide did show up, he was there and so were the other tourists in the group, just this one man didn't see us and walked away. It wasn't the guide's fault, he waited for the man to come back but then had to carry on with the tour for the rest of us.

We got in quickly
Unfortunately in English
The guide was quite strict and not relaxed
He was more of a boss than a tourist guide
There was no audioguite but except in the Hagia Sophia where the preacher was so loud, we understood everything
