    (TEMPORARILY CLOSED BETWEEN JANUARY 1 - APRIL 1 ON 2023) Built in the early 1600s for Sultan Ahmet I, Blue Mosque is truly a magnificent masterpiece of architecture with amazingly delicate proportions for a building of such massive scale. The blue shade of the 27.000 pieces of Iznik quart tiles give the mosque it’s popular name and 6 towering minarets give its uniquely recognizable structure.

Great tour!

Published on Sep, 2023

Ümran Aslan showed us an amazing time on this tour. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and so interesting to talk to. She took us on the local transit system and public ferry which was an experience that we never would have tried on our own. We also went to a great diner for lunch which was delicious and to her favourite place to buy Turkish delight at the spice market. We highly recommend this tour and especially the experience we had with Ümran. Thanks so much!

It was amazing

Wonderful private guided tour in Istanbul

Published on Oct, 2022

The combo guided tour with Fatma was more than I could have ever expected. She was very knowledgeable and great at explaining the history of everything we saw, clearly tying it all together. Fatma was early at my hotel and was very considerate at every point of the tour. I never felt rushed, which gave the tour the relaxed pace I was looking for. Fatma pointed out the best spots for pictures, helped with purchases in the bazaar, and gave me local recommendations for my activities post-tour. I highly recommend Guided Istanbul Tours and Fatma as a guide!! She was amazing.

An amazing tour of Istanbul with Sercan

Published on Aug, 2022

We had another great experience with Sercan as our Istanbul tour guide. I brought my family to Turkey after visiting it myself in November of 2021 and specifically requested Sercan since we really enjoyed his tour the last time. He is was amazing at providing a lot of information about the history of the city, the Ottoman Empire and the specific sites that we visited. Our guide was very knowledgeable, engaging and ensured that we got the best experience possible. He made sure that the information was also tailored to our kids and that they were interested in the tour. He took us to the cisterns that had a fun laser show, which the kids absolutely loved. Sercan’s attention to detail in describing the historical and social significance of the historical sites was truly impressive. His English was perfect and easy to follow. He took us to a very good restaurant that serves traditional Turkish dishes for lunch and made sure we had time to do some gift shopping as well. We will definitely request Sercan for our future tours in Istanbul and other areas of Turkey.

Great Tour /Great Guide

Published on Jun, 2022

We are so glad we picked this tour! It was hard to decide if we need transportation or not and so happy we decided not go with transportation as it is very easy to get around Istanbul. Our tour guide Goktug was amazing. He took to all the sites and was very knowledgable and easy to understand. Goktug was so kind hearted and was very patient with us as we love to take pictures. He gave us great advice on how to get around Istanbul as we were going to be in the city for few more days. This tour gets you acclimated to the city. Istanbul is such a vibrant and beautiful city.
