Great time, highly recommend

Iskender was very kind and very knowledgeable about Turkey’s history. We particularly enjoyed seeing the large mosques and local food in Istanbul and the grand scenic views in Cappadocia. Thank you!

Finding an unforgettable journey – Turkey

This 10-day tour of Turkey was accompanied by a very professional tour guide Iskender Uskod. His Chinese, excellent English, patient enthusiasm, professional knowledge, strongly recommend! At every point, he is patient and enthusiastic about cultural history, providing excellent service for our restaurants. If you are thinking about touring Turkey, we highly recommend him! Especially for tourists who want to use Chinese guides. Iskender Kod has a rich knowledge of Turkish history and world cultural heritage, and entertains humour.

Istanbul Food Tour / Old Town Tour / Cappadocia Tour

As a start, it was so wonderful working closely with Cuneyt On on planning the itinerary ( even though he is a fan of a rival football club). Full of humour and lots of patience. Our guide in Istanbul Iskender (Alex) was so knowledgeable and spoke at least 3 other languages ( English, Spanish and Mandarin). Enjoyed so much the food tour with his great street food suggestions and the old city tour. Highly recommended. The Cappodocia trip was also excellent and Giray, the local guide was a cool dude, very helpful and entertaining. All in all, it was an excellent trip and i cannot say enough of the great service provided by Nar Holiday. Truly amazing...

Istanbul tour

I, along with my friends, just did 3 days private tour with Iskender in Istanbul. We had wonderful time. The tour was well planned, informative narration with interesting stories. Two of the lunches were kind of food tastings which introduced us to types of food that we would not normally try, but enjoyed very much. Love Istanbul!

Magical Istanbul Old Town Private Full-Day Tour with Pickup: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Magical Istanbul Old Town Private Full-Day Tour with Pickup cost?

+

Prices start at $30 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 Magical Istanbul Old Town Private Full-Day Tour with Pickup take?

+

Plan for about 6 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 Magical Istanbul Old Town Private Full-Day Tour with Pickup 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 4 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 Magical Istanbul Old Town Private Full-Day Tour with Pickup?

+

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 Magical Istanbul Old Town Private Full-Day Tour with Pickup 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 6-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Magical Istanbul Old Town Private Full-Day Tour with Pickup?

+

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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Magical Istanbul Old Town Private Full-Day Tour with Pickup 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.
