My friend and I were excited to spend a half day viewing the historic monuments in Instanbul after weeks of planning. We woke up early, navigated the Tram line, and made it to our meeting point as advised early. 20 minutes later we are still waiting. The tour guide never arrived. We chatted with Viator via the app and finally got a hold of the tour guide who indicated the thought the tour was the next day. Huh?! The app provides reminder notifications. Luckily, we were refunded our money but it was a waste of time and excitement.

Great experience. Guide was very knowledgeable and was able to navigate the crowds well. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour taking us through the main attractions in the centre of old town! We visited Hagia Sofia, the Basilica cistern, the Blue Mosque, stopped by the hippodrome and the tour ended in the Grand Bazaar. Lots of facts and history and our guide was very kind to us and helped and waited for our slow pace with great patience and good humor. We enjoyed our visit today. We did have to purchase the fast entrance to hagia Sofia end the Basilica Cistern which are not included with the ticket price so be prepared as prices have gone up (March 2025) you can check them on their website. The tour guide can help you purchasing the tickets.

I recently joined the small group tour of Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern, and it was absolutely worth every penny! Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also had a great sense of humor, which made the experience both educational and entertaining.
