Wonderfull city tour
We had a very nice Istanbul old city tour, our guide was very good. We bought a very nice carpet from a reliable seller who directed us to shop in the Grand Bazaar. Our vehicle arrived and returned to the hotel on time. Many thanks again to the whole team.

Wonderfull City Tour
After using it for airport transfer during our trip to Istanbul, we took a city tour on another day, a very luxurious vehicle came to pick us up and we had an 8-hour trip. We communicated with our driver by sending a message on WhatsApp, he took us to the places we wanted and we determined the waiting time ourselves. We had a great day, we went shopping and visited historical places.
Response from the operator: Hi thank you soo much for this nice comment yes we know the best area for Shop and Historical city tour thanks

VERY DISSATISFIED
We were expecting an English speaking driver and guide who would drive around city pointing out places of interest and take us to market returning to pick us up to return us to our hotel. Driver did not speak English. He drove fast stopped in middle of road construction broken sidewalks and pointed to right and said "Market here eleven." We only had a few hours to explore your city but we saw nothing. We would appreciate a refund. This is not what we were expecting. A taxi would have been less expensive. Thank you for your attention.

Response from the operator: We're sorry about your experience, but at the last minute you told us exactly what you wanted and we let you know we couldn't do it. The only vehicle of this tour is shopping and visiting historical places. It is not possible for us to give you any information about these historical places. Only the tour guide can do this.

NOT ALL IT WAS CRACKED UP TO BE!
The tour was disappointing to say the least. It started with an almost 45 minute delay in picking us up. We had been in consistent contact with the tour operator from the beginning. On the day we were to meet the guide, I took a picture as requested of where we would be waiting, which was just outside the terminal where EVERY OTHER guide was waiting with a sign in hand of the names of the groups they were picking up...ours was no where to be found. Then we were told that he was late due to traffic (again, other tour guides were waiting for their folks). Then all of a sudden after a constant back and forth, we were told to exit the area we were in and go to the street exit to meet him. We were also told that he did not speak English well, which at first was no big deal. Other areas of Europe we had no issue with communication with our guides. So, we went to the street and waited and finally the guide showed to pick us up. We were already frustrated beyond what you could imagine. We got into the van (truly not luxury as described, but it was "ok) and we set off to our tour. This is when communication was very difficult and we resulted to Google Translate to help. We arrived in Istanbul during Eid al-Adha...when I tell you that the traffic was unbearable and the number of people in and around the streets was unfathomable...I am not joking. Basically- we went no where and sat in traffic for what seemed an eternity. The driver did stop at the Blue Mosque, we got out of the van, wound our way through thousands of people, dodged traffic, walked around the outside, bought a piece of street corn and that was about it. We got back in the van and pretty much demanded to be taken to a restaurant to eat as we were so frustrated. The driver took us to a restaurant under the bridge. While the food was good, it was clear that this was a restaurant that is a "you scratch my back and I will scratch your back" kind of set up with the tour operator. We were a group of 5 and lunch was- $500 US DOLLARS. Truly the most expensive meal we had in our 14 day vacation. Basically, this was not much of a tour, and we arrived back at the ship frustrated and sad that we literally saw nothing of the city. In hindsight we should have booked a tour with the Cruise line as our other family we were with did, and had a marvelous time. Lesson learned.
Response from the operator: We are really sorry for this experience, but there is no guide on our tour, it took a while to explain that the contamination point is outside and Istanbul traffic is really bad. We started a process about the account you paid in the restaurant, about our driver who took you there, and we did not have any information because you paid such an account. We absolutely do not accept such situations, his job was just to take you where you want

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old City Tour or Other Tour Options Professional Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antalya.
How much does Old City Tour or Other Tour Options Professional Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $240 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antalya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Old City Tour or Other Tour Options Professional Guide take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Antalya is not rushed.
Is Old City Tour or Other Tour Options Professional Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antalya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Old City Tour or Other Tour Options Professional Guide?
+
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 Old City Tour or Other Tour Options Professional Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old City Tour or Other Tour Options Professional Guide?
+
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 Antalya 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 Antalya and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old City Tour or Other Tour Options Professional Guide 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 Antalya 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 Antalya?
+
On Outty we rank every Antalya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Perge, Aspendos, Side and Waterfall Full Day Tour, Full-Day Tour of Pamukkale from Antalya with Lunch, Antalya: Perge, Aspendos, Side & Manavgat Waterfalls 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 Antalya?
+
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 Antalya?
+
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.
