Great Istanbul City Highlights Tour
Viator tours are usually very good and worth the cost. On this particular tour we were lucky to have Ahmet Cokyasar as our guide. He was outstanding! Very knowledgeable about the City and its history, has a great sense of humor, and is fluent in English and easy to understand. He made the day for us. The local spot he suggested for lunch, once we confirmed we wanted to try something really authentic, was a great place - we loved getting the feel & taste of real Turkish food. Istanbul traffic is tough. This tour is planned around being able to walk between various sites that are close to each other. Not too hard, but wear appropriate shoes.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and had such a great experience with Ahmet. He truly loves sharing the beauty and history of Istanbul with our guests, and your kind words will make his day. We’re also glad you enjoyed the authentic Turkish lunch experience — it’s one of the best parts of exploring the city! We hope to welcome you back to Turkey again soon for another memorable adventure. Warm regards, DtS Tour Team

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full-Day Istanbul Old City Tour VIP Car With Driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Private Full-Day Istanbul Old City Tour VIP Car With Driver cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Private Full-Day Istanbul Old City Tour VIP Car With Driver take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Full-Day Istanbul Old City Tour VIP Car With Driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Private Full-Day Istanbul Old City Tour VIP Car With Driver?
+
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 Private Full-Day Istanbul Old City Tour VIP Car With Driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day Istanbul Old City Tour VIP Car With Driver?
+
Around 0 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full-Day Istanbul Old City Tour VIP Car With Driver 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.
