Murat was an awesome tour guide. His English was easy to understand, he led us at a good pace and was a wealth of information! Please note head coverings are free to borrow at the Blue Mosque but must be purchased at Hagia Sophia.

The guide was nice enough, and knew a lot, as much as I could tell. His microphone connection to our earpieces failed, so that was a major problem. He also needs to say "ladies and gentlemen " less often, it waslike a distracting nervous tic. He must have inserted it 50-70 times in the 3 site talks.

I loved everything about it. Our guide Hal and his knowledge was exceptional, I learned so much, I love history so was captivated and could have listened all day. He was very friendly also. Would highly recommend going on a tour with him. We saw lots of people without guides not learning the history we were

Our tour guide Buse was excellent - she was knowledgable and gave us insights into the history of the sights that you wouldn't get in a tourbook. The tour was well organised and we were given plenty of time to see the beautiful landmarks of Istanbul.

Nice, interesting tours. The guide takes time to tell the story and even takes photos for those who wish.

The guide was exceptional. His comments, humor and knowledge fascinated me. He even went half an hour over schedule. My expectations were exceeded.

We had an awesome tour guide! He was very informativ, funny, charmingly aggressive. His English was great. He always made sure we had enough space to take a good picture and quickly asked other tourist to move if they were in our space. Pace was good. Amount of information was also good. I think it is a must to see Istanbul with a tour guide. This is a recommended company and tour guide. Thank you

The really nice guide
But we still have to queue to get in
The group is huge, not great
For 100€ knowing that the Blue Mosque is free, I don't think it's worth it at all.

Great guide with plenty of information you can not find in a book or online. Skip the line tickets worked fantastic. Enough time for breaks and toilet.

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.

The guide , Al, was very knowledgeable and was good at managing a group of about 40 people on a really peak season day.

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.
