    Excellent private Istanbul tour

    Our tour guide was Lale for 2 days and was excellent. She provided us with informative historical backgrounds on all sites. She was attentive and always considerate of our time and interests. We customized our tour to include all the major sites in Istanbul. Personally, Lale was a delight to spend our time with in Istanbul. Also, Ephesus Shuttles are excellent in communication which made setting up our itinerary painless. I highly recommend them and most definitely, Lale as a tour guide.

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you again for your loyalty and thoughtful insights. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip to Ephesus and will do everything we can to ensure another wonderful travel. We will share your kind message and opinions with your guide. Thank you on behalf of her. We would be delighted to see you in our wonderfull country again. Ephesus Shuttle Turkey Team

    A wonderful guide for an amazing city!

    We had a fantastic day visiting Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the burial place of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and of course his wife Roxlana (Hürrem Sultan). This was all in the company of our wonderful guide Türkan. For such a young lady her appreciation and understanding of the history of Istanbul was amazing. One of our group was a fan of the Turkish series ‘Magnificent Century’ and so was our guide. She was lovely company and it was actually a privilege to be shown around her city with such enthusiasm. It was also refreshing to hear a young persons views on history and the events in the world. At the end of the tour she bought us Turkish coffee herself and read our fortunes in the grounds to great amusement. We cannot praise her enough and if you are lucky enough to have her as your guide you will have won the lottery!

    Response from the operator: Dear Steve, Your kind words will be shared with our entire team, who will be thrilled to know they helped create this memorable experience. We will share your kind message and opinions with your guide. Thank you on behalf of her. We would be delighted to see you in our wonderful country again. Ephesus Shuttle Turkey Team

    Excellent private tour of Istanbul with wonderful Tour guide.

    We were picked up by our driver Sheriff who was lovely and our Tour guide Tercan, who was a lovely friendly young lady. She made the whole day a really great experience. We had planned a customised tour itinerary together, before we left the UK, of all the major city sights to see - Topkapi, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, Suleyman Mosque and burial ground and both him and his wife Hurrem, which I found great as a prolific Magnificent Century viewer. We had lunch out at a typical local restaurant and had our photos taken in national costume which were lovely and a great momento. We would all thoroughly recommend Tercan as a guide. She was attentive, very knowledgeable of the history of Istanbul, and nothing was too much trouble for her. We had a wonderful over 8 hour day, which our group of 5 will always remember.

    Response from the operator: Dear Gill, Your kind words will be shared with our entire team, who will be thrilled to know they helped create this memorable experience. We will share your kind message and opinions with your guide. Thank you on behalf of her. We would be delighted to see you in our wonderful country again. Ephesus Shuttle Turkey Team

    ALL INCLUSIVE Istanbul Private 8 hours Tour with Lunch, entrances: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.

    How much does ALL INCLUSIVE Istanbul Private 8 hours Tour with Lunch, entrances cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 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 Istanbul Private 8 hours Tour with Lunch, entrances take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Istanbul Private 8 hours Tour with Lunch, entrances worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Istanbul Private 8 hours Tour with Lunch, entrances?

    +

    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 Istanbul Private 8 hours Tour with Lunch, entrances suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book ALL INCLUSIVE Istanbul Private 8 hours Tour with Lunch, entrances?

    +

    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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does ALL INCLUSIVE Istanbul Private 8 hours Tour with Lunch, entrances 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.
