I booked this tour on Viator for my husband and I because we wanted a tour that included the Suleymaniye mosque as well as the other attractions on the same tour. There we only 2 reviews of this tour so I took a chance and booked anyway. We met our guide Deniz as planned and soon realized we may have lucked out to have the best guide in Istanbul. He was extremely knowledgeable about history, Turkish culture and Istanbul attractions. Very kind, patient, flexible and answered our many questions. The Grand Bazaar was closed so he quickly added the Basilica Cistern which was amazing . Please ask for Deniz as your guide, we highly recommend him and the company he works for. We came across many guides during the day who seemed impatient and annoyed. So lucky we had kind and smiling Deniz with us.
