Private Old City Tour From Istanbul Port / Hotels

Benjamin was really easy going and took us to the spots we wanted to go Balat, Bosphorus Tour, Dolmabache Palace and directed us clearly to Taksim Square and downwards to Galata Tower. Had a lovely day despite the weather on our last day at Istanbul. Would recommemd Ben always 👌

Benjamin is so patient and knowledgeable. He arranged wonderful meals for us and kindly helped take many photos with great care and patience. We learned a lot of knowledge from him and truly appreciate his thoughtful assistance.

We are very lucky to have a very patient and knowledgeable tour guide. He gave detailed information about the history and interesting story. Moreover， he answered every question we proposed. We really enjoy our trip with him in istanbul！

Bunjamin was amazing! I had twice the chance to have him as a tour guide,I felt super welcomed, he was super attentive and also a great conversationalist! Thank you for showing me the best parts of Istanbul, even places that weren't even in the original itinerary!

We had a wonderful tie exploring old city of Istanbul with Bünyamin. We had two opportunities to do tours with him and going on the low season was a particular treat. Bünyamin drove us in his own car on our first tour because we were just two couples on the tour instead of taking public transport. We had a beautiful time exploring the spice bizarre and going on a wonderful boat ride and he was very knowledgeable about the city and all of the building we saw on the boat ride. Then we had the most spectacular yummy Fish lunch, the fish was so fresh and cooked to perfection. the second tour we had with him was at the end of our trip and it was just me and my friend. We walked to the mosques and sites in the nearby area of Sultanahmet and on the way I realised I had forgotten to take my medication and he graciously set my friend up in a cafe to have a coffee and walked me back to the hotel to get my medications and of course this would not be possible in a bigger group but it was very nice of him since it was just me and my friend and she didn't want to walk back to the hotel. We still finished our tour on time and had an amazing lunch again.

Benjamin Kavak was a great guide for our Istanbul old city tour. He was punctual, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. His English is very good and he is easy to understand. If we return to Istanbul, we would ask for him again. Thank-you!!!

Benjamin was our tour guide in Istanbul and we could not recommend this more. Benjamin went above and beyond for our experience and we had such a wonderful time. Benjamin is very knowledgable and was able to answer all our questions.

We had a great day with our guide Bünyamin Kavak. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history. He never makes you feel rushed and allows you to take your time and enjoy the locations. You could visit all these places on your own but you would miss out on information and details about the history of Istanbul. He was able to answer all the questions we had and we learned a lot from the tour

Bünyamin is a fantastic tour guide! Friendly, knowledgeable about the city and culture and and gives his best efforts to make sure that every one is looked after and taken care of

Bunyamin was our guide for a few days of our 10 day trip to Turkey. We found him to be the best English speaker , very informed of the points of interest we visited and very courteous and friendly. I would recommend him to our friends and definitely like to visit Turkey/ Istanbul again.

Bünyumin our tour guide was so pleasant and spoke good English. He was flexible with a few changes to meet the needs of each guest.

Our tour guide Bünyamin was friendly, knowledgeable and organized! He explained the significance & history of each place we visited. He is also humourous and kind. I highly recommend this tour with him!

My daughter and I had a fantastic experience touring Istanbul with Bunyamin. He was friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions (or take photographs!). We especially loved getting a local experience by travelling by tram and seeing the city through the eyes of someone who truly knows and loves it. Bunyamin shared fascinating insights about Istanbul’s history, culture and daily life, which made every stop more meaningful. We highly recommend him to anyone wanting a genuine and enjoyable introduction to this amazing city!

Just Wow. Our guide Erman but he said to call him Adam. He took us to the most amazing places. He was knowledgeable and was funny too

It's an amazing day in the old city of Istanbul, with so many highlights to explore and so delicious food to enjoy )) I did learn a lot from our guide Bunyamin, who is super knowledgeable and helpful. From history and culture to geography and architecture, he taught us so much during the tour and gave really good advice for us to explore the city more after the tour. I am so appreciative!

Char was excellent tour brother we learned a lot from him through the history of this great country may Allah protect her and her peoples hope we meet brother thank you and thanks to the organizers for good service ❤️

Benjamin is a fantastic guide and a true professional. He is very attentive to the whole group as well as individually. He goes over and above with his service, sending pictures of the attractions we were interested to fo in our own time and gave us recommendations as to which yockets to buy and best times to visit etc. He even went out of his way to assist me with changing hotels, he is a real stand out and I highly recommend 5🌟

I had a pleasure of having Bünyamin (Benjamin) Kavak as my tour guide for two separate days in Istanbul. He checked all my boxes. He was very knowledgeable about the city, courteous, and flexible. What stands out most about him is that he shares practical information that may not be available otherwise, which was helpful for me in prioritizing what to do (or not to do) and in what order. When he learned about my plan to visit a few not-so well-known places on my own, he went out of his way to provide logistical information so that I can make most of my time in the city. He is a wealth of information about all aspects of what’s happening in Turkey. Do not hesitate to seek him out if you need a great tour guide.

Benjeinm was awesome hoist I really recommend him to anyone can’t wait to see him again inshallah really good on everything

Benjamin, just want to thank you for the amazing 2 days. You are extremely knowledgeable, engaging and friendly, and most caring. You paced the trip perfectly. You managed the logistics smoothly. We thoroughly enjoyed your company, the awesome places/ cruise and the delicious food. You covered all the must- see attractions ( Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, another even blu-er mosque!, Spice Market, Grand Bazaar, the hippodrome, obelisks, water fountains, Topkapi. The cruise was so relaxing and informative. The sea bass lunch was great. I'd strongly recommend Benjamin as a guide to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Our guide, Benjamin, is very knowledgeable, patience and kind. The tour was operated efficiently which includes local delicious lunch.

It was really good experience and Excellent trip and tour of istanbul with brief history of istanbul by abi bunyamin ☺️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Emrah was great!! He was very informative, personable, patiently awaiting as we shopped and gave us great information and guide us all around the city with ease. We were able to see everything and learned so much from him.

We just had the most amazing time in Istanbul with Benjamin, he truly went above and beyond to make our experience as comfortable, enjoyable and informative as possible. He has an immense amount of knowledge about Turkey’s history, politics, cultural significance. He allowed us to go at our pace, and also stood in line in the hot sun to get our tickets to Hagia Sophia which we really appreciated! He also took some great photos of us in perfect spots. Another guide met us on the way and said we were lucky to have the best guide in Istanbul and I completely agree! Thank you Benjamin for making our visit memorable!

We had a fantastic experience on the Istanbul Old City tour, thanks to our guide, Benjamin. He was incredibly well-prepared and gave us rich, engaging explanations of Istanbul’s history that brought each site to life. Benjamin navigated the city with ease, helping us avoid crowds and maximize our time. Beyond the tour itself, he also offered great recommendations for other places to see, eat, and explore in the city. His insight made our visit to Istanbul even more special. Highly recommend!

An amazing day with an amazing guide. Brilliant communication from the start to end. Informative and fun. Perhaps it needs to be made clear on the website that admission tickets to the various places can be bought on the day by the guide. We weren’t sure so bought in advance and could possibly have been cheaper. Would definitely recommend this tour for a snapshot especially if you don’t have much time in Istanbul and would definitely recommend Bulent. He was the best.

It was a nice day, and we toured the Topkapi Palace. Our guide was very obliging and cheerful and showed us a bit of istanbul

Great tour guide, very friendly, knows well all city and places history and details. Took us to all places we asked for souvenirs shopping. Helped us for another tour booking. The best guide we could get!

With friendly and welcoming tour guide, and super helpful(because still difficult to communicate while shopping in some places, lol)

Yüksel was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide who made our tour very relaxing and fun. All the landmarks and the spice bazaar were so neat and I loved hearing all the history! I never felt rushed and he helped me take some great photos at the sites (as I am a solo traveler). This is also the best value tour I’ve seen, a very reasonable price for nearly a 6 hour tour. Thank you! I’ll definitely be booking through him again in other locations.

It was a lovely walking tour and our guide was superb. Highly recommend. All the historic and important sites in one morning.
