The guide's explanations in very good English. The guide's help in contacting the Bosphorus cruise company. The large informative panels on the Muslim religion in English and the booklets in several languages.

Very nice experience, the masseuses are lovely, efficient and professional. We were first in a hot bath with a sauna then massage with horsehair glove, foam and toning 45 min well weighed. Tea and clay mask. Very good value for money.

Guides were excellent, however Headout staff misled me about the correct time of Bosphorus departure and we almost missed it on our last day in Istanbul. Also, you should have provided actual locations of where to meet for the different tours which was NOT easy to find or ask about.

Pretty unique. The light show is what makes it—otherwise it’s just wet old stones lol. Audio guide is worth using. It’s damp inside so wear good shoes. Wouldn’t bring little kids cuz it’s dark and echoey.

It was a wonderful experience. An initial glitch regarding the guided tour but the issue was resolved quickly. Topkapi palace was grand. Every section was amazing, absolutely loved the holy relics section. Our guide Busa was very good and knowledgeable, she answered all the questions. You need almost half a day to see the whole palace but it is worth it.
