“Yunus is my first tour guide in Istanbul, his enthusiasm for Turkish history and neighborhoods he grew up with made me appreciate Turkey, a whole new way. If I had more time, I would have enjoyed learning more about how Turkey became a melting pot of Europe, Asia, and Africa from Yunus for two more hours! This is without hesitation a memorable tour for me, from this part of the world.”

“This was a GREAT tour! We saw Istanbul from top to bottom and everything in between! We moved at a "good" pace, easy to cover the distance, learning as we went.”

“This was a fantastic experience, it’s a must do for the start of an Istanbul trip, it oriented me to the city and to the foods. Ali was an exceptional guide he taught us so much about the customs and local secrets as well as the foods and beverages we tried. Do not miss this experience!”

“Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun! He told great stories, asked us lots of questions and we learned a ton. He was patient and funny. I recommend this tour highly!!”

“Our guide was very personable and had a head full of knowledge from the local area. Loved the quirkiness of this particular district of Istanbul. Indeed personally bought back memories from having seen some old music memorabilia. Hit lucky, in that there were few of us on the afternoon the tour took place, so the pace for walking around was very comfortable in the heat. Lovely tour!”

“only clients that turned up, guide altered tour to meet our needs”

“Absolutely brilliant walking tour. Guide was so knowledgeable with some great details. Taken to all the main sites around the area and then to the shop for our free Turkish delight and fruit tea, both of which were amazing. Definitely recommend it.”

“The guide was brilliant. Very informative regarding the main sites but also gave us a flavour of Istanbul itself. Would recommend to anyone to use this service and I will be using Get Your Guide on my subsequent holidays.”

“Our day with Naci was truly excellent. Right from the start, he took the time to understand our preferences and crafted a tailored itinerary for us. We were delighted by his wealth of knowledge, not only about Istanbul's rich historical heritage but also its contemporary aspects. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience, providing insights that enriched our understanding of both the city's past and present. Naci exceeded our expectations, making our day in Istanbul truly unforgettable.”

“Our tour and guide, Begum were great. We were so happy to get to see the House of Mary and the ancient city. It was a packed day, but we loved getting to see so many sites! Would definitely recommend.”

“Great lecture about Islam, history of Turkic culture and the area of Istanbul. I especially enjoyed the flexibility of the guide tailoring the route based on our preferences. The most professional guided tour I’ve experienced in my life. Well done Korhan! Thank you”

“Cem was a very knowledgeable guide. He’s easy going and flexible. An enjoyable day. Cem managed to steer us through the day, to some extent avoiding the crowds and queues! Well done!”

“What an adventure we had on this tour! It’s so hard finding activities that suit kids of different ages, but this was a huge hit! After a fun ride and cooling water fight with other passengers in the convoy, we ventured into the mountains to the waterfalls and saw some beautiful sights en route. The caves were spectacular too and well worth a venture inside. Lunch was fresh, hot, cooked through and delicious and the location was definitely photo-worthy. Big thank you to our energetic guide and photographer Agil and his team of drivers! My top tips for anyone booking - wear your swimsuit under your clothes, don’t wear your…”

“K was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He gave a great overview of the history of the city and how it came to be a it is now. It was great seeing all the mosques and the other sites. The grand bazaar was not what I expected, limited to mainly not authentic handbags, some clothing, rugs and a lot of jewelry stores. I would definitely recommend this tour.”

“We booked a 1-day Istanbul private walking tour and it far exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Sofya, reached out to us a couple days before the tour to finalize details and to provide additional information. On the day of, she met us at our hotel right on time and it was off on our tour. I cannot emphasize how useful it was to have a guide compared to schlepping around on our own. Sofya knew the shortcuts, knew who to talk to to get us better seats at lunch and pointed out the hidden gems that most tourists walk by. She was personable, insightful, funny and very accommodating to our…”
