Booked several guided tours with them and I’m really satisfied with their services. It was kind of last-minute booking, and they were happy to accept it. I had all details in advance and went to the meeting point. Best thing about it is that you just skip the line and enter the place with a guide, I felt lucky!! My parents also liked the whole guided experience. They were kept on asking things coz this place is like an amazing engineering wonder. It also appears that it’s one of the popular sites in Istanbul, so it was good that we booked to go there with a guide. Value for money, great experience.
