Customer Reviews
Learned a lot, walked a little, set the foundation for the rest of our trip. Absolutely recommend.
I was the only one who joined the tour, so Erol was literally my private guide. He told me about tue history important sights in the old city, showed me the Grand Basar and recommended some reataurants with local food. He knows a lot and was able to answer all questions. It is a great tour to get an overview of Instabul's history and the old town and I really recommend other visitors to join.
Great tour with Erol! Highly recommended to everyone visiting Istanbul Old Town!
Erol was very helpful and knowledgeable.
... which we recommend to anyone who is interested in more than just dates. Erol showed us the connection to life in Istanbul today in a very exciting way and made the tour (over three hours!) extremely entertaining. We also received very valuable tips for the rest of our vacation. Thank you very much!
