Excellent experience
Our experience was really wonderful. When we arrived our guide waited for us on time at the point we had agreed offering us a perfectly organized tour. He was an absolute professional with excellent knowledge of English. In addition, his deep knowledge of the history of the city and his excellent recommendations for restaurants made our trip even more enjoyable. The fact that the tour was exclusively private and with our own car made the experience even more comfortable and unique. We were absolutely satisfied and highly recommend it to anyone who visits the city.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind wishes, we are always trying our best to make our Travellers as happy as possible in Turkey.

Absolutely Amazing Experience In Istanbul!
We arrived at Galataport by cruise ship, and our guide was waiting for us right on time. From the start, everything felt smooth and well organized. My girlfriend and I had a great day exploring Istanbul’s Old City, which is an incredible area full of history and character. Our guide was professional, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. He explained things in a clear and relaxed way, never rushed us, and made the tour feel comfortable and enjoyable. We left the restaurant choices to him, and we’re really glad we did. The food was excellent, and we had some of the best Turkish dishes we tried during our trip. Overall, it was a very well-planned and enjoyable tour, exactly what we were hoping for. We were really happy with the service and the experience, and we would definitely choose this tour company again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul!

FullDay Popular Old City Tour – No Groups, Private Guide and Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does FullDay Popular Old City Tour – No Groups, Private Guide and Car cost?
+
Prices start at $900 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 FullDay Popular Old City Tour – No Groups, Private Guide and Car 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 FullDay Popular Old City Tour – No Groups, Private Guide and Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 FullDay Popular Old City Tour – No Groups, Private Guide and Car?
+
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 FullDay Popular Old City Tour – No Groups, Private Guide and Car 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 FullDay Popular Old City Tour – No Groups, Private Guide and Car?
+
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 FullDay Popular Old City Tour – No Groups, Private Guide and Car 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 Princes Islands Blue Journey from Old City Istanbul, Famous Istanbul Pub Crawl #1 Nightlife Experience, Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul 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.

+
