Nice trip !!
Our tour guide Sabit was very knowledgeable and professional and on our way shared a lot of history details not only about the actual trip but also the great history of Istanbul, mosques and monuments built by Sultan and other emperors. Trip is long but you will take breaks and no rush from the guide if you had to spend some extra time at the historical location. You will feel yourself in the past while walking through the tombs of Ertugral ghazi , Sheikh Edebali and Halima Hatun and other companions. While on the way you will see lot of mountains and few tunnels and at the end the lunch was delicious and copious that everyone enjoyed. You also take the pictures in KAYI costumes. Overall it was good experience but little expensive which I think is worthwhile as its long drive and you would take pride visiting Sogut the home town of Ertugral Ghazi and birth place of Ottoman Empire.

7-8 hours of car time,...
7-8 hours of car time, tour guide did not interact with us at all! He talked Turkish with the driver while sitting in the front seat. Some history or local facts would have helped! He got dropped off early and driver took us back to the hotel. Also, lunch was a fiasco as well!! Would not recommend him as a tour guide given the price we paid for the tour!!!!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ertugrul Gazi Tomb, Sogut and Bilecik Tour - Daily from Istanbul: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Ertugrul Gazi Tomb, Sogut and Bilecik Tour - Daily from Istanbul cost?
+
Prices start at $130 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 Ertugrul Gazi Tomb, Sogut and Bilecik Tour - Daily from Istanbul take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Ertugrul Gazi Tomb, Sogut and Bilecik Tour - Daily from Istanbul worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 20 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 Ertugrul Gazi Tomb, Sogut and Bilecik Tour - Daily from Istanbul?
+
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 Ertugrul Gazi Tomb, Sogut and Bilecik Tour - Daily from Istanbul suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ertugrul Gazi Tomb, Sogut and Bilecik Tour - Daily from Istanbul?
+
Around 7 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ertugrul Gazi Tomb, Sogut and Bilecik Tour - Daily from Istanbul 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.
