A tour of Istanbul with Sedat
Sedat was a phenomenal tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, showing a very deep understanding of Turkish history, as well as other regions relevant to our tour. He was relaxed and friendly, very accommodating to our small requests like lunch break etc. I’d highly recommend booking with him for a great tour.

Wonderful experience with a great tour guide
We had a wonderful full day walking tour (plus tram) with our delightful, fun, vibrant, friendly knowledgeable tour guide Zel! She gave in depth insights into the complicated history of Istanbul and Turkey generally. Zel kept us safe, looked after every aspect of the day and magically helped us skip the line at all ticketed venues. We saw the Blue Mosque, Topaki Palace, Hagia Sophia, Cisterns and Grand Bazaar but didn't feel rushed. Highly recommended!

Book this before paying shipping prices!!
Suleyman was totally amazing. We had the best seven hours full of history, full of artistry, full of knowledge of the various religions that have ruled and shaped this beautiful city. It was really an exceptional tour. Suleyman is a great guide but what also made it special is the real care he took of us at every step. The communication from the tour operator prior to our trip was also excellent. Final note…. If you are on a cruise ship and don’t want to pay stupid prices for laundry, they will take you to somewhere you can drop it off and then you pick it up on the way back. Ours was 12 USD versus over 100 on the ship!!

6 Hour Old City Tour with Lunch
My wife and I were visiting from Sweden and were very interested in exploring food and culture. The hotel arranged a 6 hour private tour with Zel and it was great. We covered the historic old part of Istanbul (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cisterns, Grand Bazaar). She kept a great pace, was extremely knowledgeable about all the things we asked about. She was also well connected knowing vendors, other guides, ticket sales clerks and restauranteurs...this enabled a smooth and fast experience where we did not have to wait for anything really and we were confident in shopping. We capped it off with a long and large lunch where we learned a lot about local food.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
All Inclusive Best of Istanbul Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does All Inclusive Best of Istanbul Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $300 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 All Inclusive Best of Istanbul Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 All Inclusive Best of Istanbul Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 53 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 All Inclusive Best of Istanbul Tour?
+
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 All Inclusive Best of Istanbul Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All Inclusive Best of Istanbul Tour?
+
Around 19 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All Inclusive Best of Istanbul Tour 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.
