Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for 3 Days Private Istanbul Tour Including Ottoman and Byzantine Sites. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Ilker, our perfect guide
My wife and I found Ilker on the Pupa website and first off and most important for me, he responded right away, and continued to whenever I contacted him. Then we talked on the phone and it was obvious he spoke excellent English. He was everything we could have hoped for when we arrived in Istanbul. He followed through on everything, and was always responsive, attentive, and flexible. He is such a nice man and interesting and was so easy and wonderful to travel with. His knowledge of the Ottoman history and the sites we visited was complete and even though we had done a lot of research and study before our trip, he added so much to it all. It was easy to switch from present day Istanbul to the distant past and he was equally open and knowledgeable and comfortable talking about it all. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide (and friend) to make our trip to Istanbul as perfect as it was.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Days Private Istanbul Tour Including Ottoman and Byzantine Sites: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does 3 Days Private Istanbul Tour Including Ottoman and Byzantine Sites cost?
+
Prices start at $500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Days Private Istanbul Tour Including Ottoman and Byzantine Sites take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is 3 Days Private Istanbul Tour Including Ottoman and Byzantine Sites worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Private Istanbul Tour Including Ottoman and Byzantine Sites?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Days Private Istanbul Tour Including Ottoman and Byzantine Sites suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 72-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 3 Days Private Istanbul Tour Including Ottoman and Byzantine Sites?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Days Private Istanbul Tour Including Ottoman and Byzantine Sites start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
